1) What kind of tool is technology as evidenced by its use in word processing databases, spreadsheets, graphics design, and desktop publishing?

a) Analyzing tool

b) Encoding tool

c) Productivity tool

d) Calculating tool

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: This question examines the functionality of technology in educational and professional settings. Technology serves as a productivity tool by enabling efficient handling of tasks such as word processing, data management, and design, thereby enhancing productivity.

2) Teachers and students can participate in levels of computer use. Give the order of computer use from simplest to complex.

a) Computer literacy, computer competency, computer expertise

b) Computer competency, computer literacy, competency expertise

c) Computer literacy, computer expertise, computer competency

d) Computer competency, computer expertise, computer literacy

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: The progression from simplest to most complex levels of computer use starts with computer literacy, followed by computer competency, and finally computer expertise. This sequence reflects the increasing depth of knowledge and skills in using computers. Therefore, the correct answer is "Computer literacy, computer competency, computer expertise."

3) What principle is violated by overusing the chalkboards, as though it is the only education technology available?

a) Isolated

b) Flexibility

c) Variety

d) Uniformity

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: Overreliance on a single educational tool, like the chalkboard, violates the principle of variety, which encourages the use of diverse teaching methods and resources to cater to different learning styles and keep students engaged. Variety is essential in providing a rich learning experience, making this the correct answer.


4) It is stated that audio- visual aids complement teaching to make perception more quickly and clearly. Why?

a) They present programmed information.

b) They present multi- sensory experience.

c) They provide verbal and symbolic experiences.

d) They make information readily available.

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: The correct answer is "they provide verbal and symbolic experiences" as audio-visual aids enhance learning by combining different modes of information delivery. Programmed information is structured, multi-sensory experiences involve multiple senses, and making information available is a benefit but not the primary reason.

5) Of the following effects on learning, what is the effect of simulations that make students feel and sense experience in the classroom?

a) Reinforcing learning

b) Providing experiences that otherwise might not be had

c) Motivating students

d) Changing attitudes and feelings

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: This question explores the benefits of experiential learning techniques. It requires understanding of various teaching methods and their impacts. The correct answer highlights the unique ability of simulations to provide students with experiences that may be impractical or impossible to obtain in real life, enhancing their learning through immersion and practical application.

6) This is the more appropriate understanding of technology in education?

a) Methods and process

b) Inventions and equipment

c) Channels and instruments

d) Hardware, designs, and environment

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: This question emphasizes a broad understanding of technology in education. Technology as channels and instruments implies tools and methods used to facilitate and enhance learning, beyond just devices and hardware.

7) Which of the following is considered a peripheral device?

a) Printer

b) keyboard

c) CPU

d) Monitor

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: The correct answer is a) Printer. A peripheral device is any external component that connects to a computer to add functionality. Printers are classic examples of peripheral devices as they are external to the main computer unit and provide the additional function of producing hard copies of documents. Keyboards (b) and monitors (d), while also technically peripheral devices, are more commonly considered essential input/output devices. The CPU (c) is not a peripheral device, but rather the central processing unit - the "brain" of the computer that is housed inside the main unit.


8) Which should you use if you want to teach the human digestive system in such a way that the pupils can manipulate the organs?

a) model of the digestive system

b) realia from medical schools

c) drawing of an artist

d) picture from medical references

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: A model of the digestive system allows hands-on manipulation of the organs, enhancing understanding. Realia from medical schools, drawings, and pictures provide visual information but lack interactive elements.

9) Which are the most important concerns about the use of ICT in instruction?
I. Developing appropriate curriculum materials that allow students to construct meaning and develop knowledge through the use of ICT:
II. Devising strategies to meaningfully integrate technology into the curriculum:
III. Using pedagogical skills related to technology:
IV. Providing teachers with skills for using software applications

a) I and III

b) II and III

c) III and IV

d) I, II, III, and IV

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: The correct answer is d] I, II, III, and IV. All listed concerns are crucial for the effective use of ICT in instruction, encompassing material development, integration strategies, pedagogical skills, and teacher training. Options a], b], and c] cover only subsets of the concerns.

10) Which of the following belongs to projected media?

a) realias

b) flannel boards

c) filmstrips

d) field trips

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: Non-projected media includes realias, flannel boards, and field trips, which do not require projection equipment. Filmstrips are projected media.

11) Which statement applies CORRECTLY to Edgar Dale’s “cone of Experience”?

a) The further you are from the base, the more direct the learning experience becomes.

b) The further you are from the bottom, the more direct the learning experience becomes.

c) The closer you are to the base, the more indirect the learning experience becomes.

d) The closer you are to the base, the more direct the learning experience becomes

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: Edgar Dale's "Cone of Experience" illustrates that the closer an experience is to the base, the more direct and concrete it is, involving more senses and active participation. This directness tends to lead to more effective learning, making the statement "The closer you are to the base, the more direct the learning experience becomes" correct.

12) What primary criterion should guide a teacher in the choice of instructional devices?

a) Novelty

b) Cost

c) Appropriateness

d) Attractiveness

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: The correct answer is c) Appropriateness. When choosing instructional devices, the primary consideration should be how well the device supports the learning objectives and meets the needs of the students. Appropriateness encompasses factors such as the device's relevance to the subject matter, its suitability for the students' age and skill level, and its effectiveness in facilitating the desired learning outcomes. While novelty (a) can increase student engagement, it shouldn't be the primary criterion. Cost (b) is a practical consideration but shouldn't override educational value. Attractiveness (d) may enhance student interest, but it's secondary to the device's educational appropriateness. A device that is appropriate for the learning goals and student needs will be most effective in supporting the teaching and learning process.
