1) From classroom management strategies applied on erring students, which of the following should not be done?

a) Surprise quiz

b) Communicating problems to parents

c) Parent-principal conference

d) Shaming erring student before the class

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: The question discusses appropriate classroom management strategies. Shaming students publicly is discouraged because it can damage their self-esteem, create a hostile learning environment, and is generally considered an unproductive method of discipline.

2) This is the distance of the scores from the mean:

a) Mode

b) Frequency

c) Deviation

d) Range

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: Deviation refers to the measure of how far individual scores are from the mean, which is a key concept in understanding statistical data in education.

3) In his second item analysis, Teacher H found out that more from the lower group got the test item # 6 correctly. This means that the test item __________.

a) has a negative discriminating power

b) has a lower validity

c) has a positive discriminating power

d) has a high reliability

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: The correct answer is b] has a lower validity because if more from the lower group answered the item correctly, it suggests that the item does not effectively measure what it is supposed to measure, thus indicating lower validity. Answer a] is incorrect because it is the opposite of what is described. Answer c] is wrong as the discriminating power is not positive in this case. Answer d] is not relevant here as reliability is not directly assessed by this analysis.


4) In solving problems in Mathematics, at times these questions are asked: “What is given? “What is asked?” and “What process will you use?” These type of questions are?

a) diagnostic

b) thought-provoking

c) recall

d) analytical

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: The correct answer is "recall" as these questions require students to recall specific information and steps in problem-solving. Diagnostic questions assess understanding, thought-provoking questions challenge deeper thinking, and analytical questions require analysis and interpretation.

5) Which of the following describes a diagnostic assessment?

a) A teacher gave a 10-item test to determine the specific lessons which the students failed to understand

b) A teacher gave a short quiz after discussing thoroughly the lesson to determine the effect of instru

c) A teacher asked questions when the discussion was going on to who among his students understood what

d) A teacher administered a test to the incoming grade IV pupils to determine the effect of instruction

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: The correct answer is a teacher gave a 10-item test to determine the specific lessons which the students failed to understand, focusing on identifying students' learning gaps. The other options describe formative or summative assessments.

6) You have presented a lesson on animal protective coloration. At the end, you ask if there are any questions. There are none. You can take this to mean _____.

a) your students are not interested in the lesson

b) you need to determine if the students understood everything you presented

c) you need to ask specific questions to elicit responses

d) your students did not understand what you were talking about

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: The correct answer is c] you need to ask specific questions to elicit responses. The lack of questions does not necessarily indicate a lack of understanding or interest; specific questions can help clarify comprehension. The other options assume conclusions about interest or understanding without further investigation.

7) The counterpart of the mean and it's used when the distribution is normal or symmetrical.

a) Range

b) Standard Deviation

c) Semi-inter quartile Range

d) Quartile Deviation

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: Standard deviation is the counterpart of the mean and is most appropriate when the distribution is normal or symmetrical. It measures the average distance of each score from the mean. Therefore, the correct answer is "Standard Deviation."


8) What computation did teacher Panny use in getting the difference between the highest and lowest scores in each class?

a) Mean

b) Range

c) Standard deviation

d) Median

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: This question assesses understanding of basic statistical measures. The range is the measure that represents the difference between the highest and lowest scores in a dataset. It's calculated by subtracting the lowest score from the highest score. While the mean, standard deviation, and median are all important statistical measures, they don't directly represent the spread between the highest and lowest scores in the way that the range does.

9) Which statement about standard deviation is CORRECT?

a) The lower the standard deviation the more spread the scores are.

b) The higher the standard deviation the more spread the scores are.

c) The higher the standard deviation the less spread the scores are.

d) It is a measure of central tendency.

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: A higher standard deviation indicates more variability or spread in the scores.

10) What is implied by a negatively skewed score distribution?

a) Most of the scores are low

b) Most pupils are underachievers

c) The scores are evenly distributed from the left to the right

d) Most of the scores are high

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: In a negatively skewed distribution, the majority of scores are on the higher end, with fewer lower scores pulling the mean to the left. Therefore, the correct answer is "Most of the scores are high."

11) It is equivalent to the average score of the group or class?

a) Mean

b) Median

c) Mode

d) Standard Deviation

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: The mean is the average score of a group or class, calculated by dividing the sum of all scores by the number of scores. The median is the middle score in a distribution, the mode is the most frequently occurring score, and the standard deviation measures the dispersion of scores around the mean.

12) What is known as the scoring guides for rating open-ended questions?

a) Rubrics

b) Outcomes

c) Scales

d) Outputs

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: This question assesses knowledge of assessment tools. While the correct answer is given as "Scales," it's important to note that "Rubrics" is actually the more commonly accepted term for scoring guides used to rate open-ended questions. Rubrics provide detailed criteria for evaluating responses to open-ended questions, ensuring consistency and objectivity in scoring. Scales can be part of rubrics, but they don't encompass the full concept of a scoring guide. This discrepancy suggests there might be an error in the answer key or a specific interpretation being used in this context.
