11. Which questioning practice promotes more class interaction?
A. Asking the question before calling on a student.
B. Focusing on divergent question
C. Focusing on convergent questions.
D. Asking rhetorical questions.
- Divergent questions are open-ended questions that encourage students to think critically and creatively,
leading to deeper discussions and increased participation. These questions typically have multiple
possible answers and encourage students to explore various perspectives, hypotheses, or solutions. By
focusing on divergent questions, teachers can foster a collaborative learning environment where students
feel encouraged to share their ideas, engage with the material, and interact with their peers.
- convergent questions have only one correct answer, and test memory knowledge. (Ex. Of
multiple choice, definitions, true/false, fill in the blank and calculations) where there is only one correct
answer and may limit class interaction by stifling discussion or encouraging rote memorization
- A rhetorical question is a question asked for a purpose other than to obtain information. do not
necessarily invite active participation or engagement from all students
to
12. Teacher F wanted to teach the pupils the skill to do cross stitching. Her check up quiz was a written
test on the steps of cross stitching. Which characteristic of a good test does it lack?
A. Scorability
B. Reliability
C. Objectivity
D. Validity
- Scorability refers to the extent to which a test can be scored accurately and consistently. In this case, a
written test on the steps of cross-stitching may not adequately measure the pupils' ability to perform the
skill of cross-stitching. A written test alone may not fully capture the pupils' proficiency in cross-stitching,
as it does not directly assess their practical application of the skill. test may assess knowledge of the
theoretical steps involved in cross-stitching, it may not provide a comprehensive or accurate measure of
the pupils' ability to actually perform the skill
- The reliability of an assessment tool is the extent to which it consistently and accurately measures
learning.
- Objectivity in the context of assessment is necessary to get an accurate judgement of what a student
knows, understands and can do.
- Assessment validity refers to the extent that a test measures what it is supposed to measure.
13. The attention to the development of a deep respect and affection for our rich cultural past is an
influence of __________.
A . Confucius
B. Hegel
C. Teilhard de Chardin
D. Dewey
- Confucius (Confucianism, as a philosophy, places significant importance on tradition, filial piety, and
reverence for one's cultural heritage.) Confucius emphasized the importance of respecting and cherishing
one's cultural heritage.
- Hegel, focused more on the dialectical progression of history and the development of human
consciousness.
-Teilhard de Chardin emphasized the evolutionary development of humanity and the convergence of
science and spirituality.
-Dewey was a proponent of experiential learning and pragmatic philosophy
14. Quiz is to formative test while periodic is to __________
A. criterion-reference test
B. summative test
C. norm-reference test
D. diagnostic test
-Formative assessments, such as quizzes, are designed to monitor student learning progress and provide
ongoing feedback to both students and teachers. typically conducted throughout the learning process to
inform instruction and identify areas for improvement. periodic assessments are conducted periodically
throughout the learning period to evaluate students' understanding and mastery of the material.
-Criterion-reference tests measure students' performance against a predetermined set of criteria or
learning standards, regardless of how other students perform.
- However, periodic assessments, unlike formative assessments, are often used to determine students'
final grades or level of achievement at the end of a specific period, such as a semester or school year.
Therefore, periodic assessments align more closely with summative tests, which are administered at the
end of an instructional period to evaluate students' overall learning outcomes and assign grades or
determine achievement levels.
-Norm-reference tests compare students' performance to the performance of a normative group,
providing information about how individual students rank relative to their peers.
-Diagnostic tests are designed to identify students' strengths and weaknesses, diagnose learning
difficulties, and inform instructional planning and intervention strategies.
15. Out of 3 distracters in a multiple choice test item, namely B, C, and D, no pupil chose D as answer.
This implies that D is __________
A. an ineffective distracter
B. a vague distracter
C. an effective distracter
D. a plausible distracter
-The purpose of distractors is to gauge students' understanding of the material and to differentiate
between students who have mastered the content and those who have not. If no pupil chose D as the
answer, it suggests that D did not effectively distract students from selecting the correct answer. In other
words, it failed to serve its purpose as a distractor. Therefore, D would be considered an ineffective
distracter.
-A vague distracter would be one that is unclear or ambiguous, making it difficult for students to
interpret.
-An effective distracter would be one that successfully distracts students from selecting the correct
answer.
-A plausible distracter would be one that is believable or reasonable but ultimately incorrect.
16. Each teacher is said to be a trustee of the cultural and educational heritage of the nation and is,
under obligation to transmit to learners such heritage. Which practice makes him fulfill such obligation?
A. Use the latest instructional technology.
B. Observe continuing professional education.
C. Use interactive teaching strategies.
D. Study the life of Filipino heroes.
-Studying the life of Filipino heroes is directly related to understanding and transmitting the cultural and
educational heritage of the nation. Filipino heroes played significant roles in shaping the history, culture,
and values of the Philippines. By studying their lives, teachers gain insights into the rich cultural heritage
of the nation and can effectively transmit this knowledge to their students. Additionally, learning about
Filipino heroes can inspire students and instill in them a sense of pride, identity, and appreciation for
their cultural heritage.
17. Theft of school equipment like tv, computer, etc. by teenagers in the community itself is becoming a
common phenomenon. What does this incident signify?
A. Prevalence of poverty in the community.
B. Inability of school to hire security guards.
C. Deprivation of Filipino schools.
D. Community's lack of sense of co-owner
A. Prevalence of poverty in the community: While poverty can contribute to crime rates, theft of school
equipment by teenagers doesn't necessarily indicate poverty in the community. Theft can occur for
various reasons beyond economic hardship.
B. Inability of school to hire security guards: The theft of school equipment may not solely result from
the inability of the school to hire security guards. While security measures can deter theft, addressing
the root causes of the behavior is essential.
C. Deprivation of Filipino schools: While theft of school equipment is concerning, it doesn't necessarily
indicate deprivation within Filipino schools. Theft can occur in any community regardless of the level of
resources available.
D. Community's lack of sense of co-owner: This option is the most appropriate because it suggests a
broader societal issue related to a lack of ownership and responsibility for shared resources. The theft of
school equipment by teenagers suggests a disregard for the common good and a failure to recognize the
importance of preserving resources for the benefit of the community as a whole. This lack of a sense of
co-ownership reflects broader societal attitudes and values that need to be addressed through
education, community engagement, and other interventions.
18. How would you select the most fit in government positions? Applying Confucius teachings, which
would be the answer?
A. By course accreditation of an accreditin body
B. By merit system and course accreditation
C. By merit system
D. By government examinations
-Option A (By course accreditation of an accrediting body) focuses on accreditation of courses rather
than on the merit of individuals.
-Option B (By merit system and course accreditation) combines a merit system with course accreditation,
which may not directly address the qualities of individuals needed for government positions according to
Confucian teachings.
-Option D (By government examinations) also does not specifically address the merit or qualifications of
individuals but rather suggests a standardized testing approach, which may not adequately assess all
aspects of suitability for government leadership.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. By merit system, as it aligns with Confucius teachings by emphasizing
the importance of selecting individuals for government positions based on their merit, competence, and
moral character. Confucius emphasized the importance of moral character, wisdom, and competence in
governance. According to Confucian principles, individuals should be selected for government positions
based on their virtuous conduct, knowledge, and abilities rather than by arbitrary factors such as birth or
social status. A merit system aligns with Confucian values by ensuring that individuals are chosen for
their qualifications, skills, and suitability for the responsibilities of government leadership.
19. "In the light of the facts presented, what is most likely to happen when ... ?" is a sample thought
question on
A. inferring
B. generalizing
C. synthesizing
D. justifying
-Generalizing (option B) involves making broad statements or applying patterns observed in specific
instances to a larger context, which is not explicitly addressed in the question.
-Synthesizing (option C) involves integrating information from various sources or perspectives to form a
coherent whole, which is also not directly applicable in this scenario.
- Justifying (option D) involves providing reasons or evidence to support a claim or decision, which is not
the primary focus of the question.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. inferring, as the question prompts the individual to make an
inference or prediction based on the facts presented.
20. To come closer to the truth we need to go back to the things themselves.This is the advice of the
A. behaviorists
B. phenomenologists
C. idealists
D. pragmatists
-Behaviorists (option A) focus on observable behavior and stimuli-response associations rather than
subjective experience or phenomena.
-Idealists (option C) prioritize the role of ideas or mental constructs in shaping reality,
-pragmatists (option D) emphasize the practical consequences or utility of beliefs and actions. These
perspectives do not directly align with the phenomenological emphasis on returning to direct experience
to approach truth.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. phenomenologists, as they advocate for a return to the things
themselves, or direct experience, as a means of understanding truth.
11. It is the study of man’s prehistory through the buried remains of ancient culture, skeletal remnants of
human beings.
A. Anthropology
B. Archeology
C. Ethnology
D. Ethnography
1**Archaeology**: Archaeology specifically focuses on the study of human history and prehistory
through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and other physical remains left behind by
past societies. This includes the examination of buried remains, ancient cultures, and skeletal remnants
of human beings. Archaeologists use scientific methods to reconstruct past lifeways, technological
developments, social organizations, and cultural practices based on material evidence.
2. **Anthropology**: Anthropology is the broader field that encompasses the study of human beings
and their societies, including their cultures, languages, biology, and social structures.
3. **Ethnology**: Ethnology is the comparative study of cultures and societies, focusing on their
similarities and differences in terms of social organization, beliefs, customs, and practices. It involves the
analysis of ethnographic data collected through fieldwork and participant observation among living
populations. Unlike archaeology, which deals with the material remains of past cultures, ethnology
focuses on the study of contemporary societies.
4. **Ethnography**: Ethnography is the qualitative research method used in anthropology to document
and describe the cultural practices, beliefs, and behaviors of specific human groups or communities.
Ethnographic research involves immersive fieldwork, where anthropologists observe and interact with
people in their natural settings to gain an in-depth understanding of their way of life. While ethnography
is a methodological approach within anthropology, it is distinct from archaeology, which deals with the
study of ancient cultures through material remains.
12. Teacher D claims: "If I have to give reinforcement, it has to be given immediately after the
response." Which theory supports Teacher D?
A. operant conditioning theory
B. social cognitive theory
C. cognitive theory
D. humanist theory
a. Operant conditioning, proposed by psychologist B.F. Skinner, suggests that behavior is
influenced by its consequences. According to this theory, behaviors that are reinforced
(rewarded) are more likely to be repeated in the future, while behaviors that are
punished are less likely to be repeated.
b. Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) describes the influence of individual experiences, the actions of
others, and environmental factors on individual health behaviors.
c. Cognitive theory asserts that it is the way we think about a situation, rather than the situation
itself, that leads us to feel a particular emotion and behave in a particular way.
d. humanism: a psychological theory that emphasizes an individual's inherent drive towards self-
actualization and contends that people have a natural capacity to make decisions about their
lives and control their own behavior.
13. . Teacher S wants to determine immediately the learning difficulties of her students. Which of the
following do you expect her to undertake?
A. Require her students to prepare a portfolio.
B. Administer an achievement test.
C. Administer a diagnostic test.
D. Interview her students directly.
C. Administer a diagnostic test: Diagnostic tests are specifically designed to assess students' strengths
and weaknesses in specific subject areas or skills. These tests help identify learning difficulties,
misconceptions, and gaps in knowledge by providing detailed information about students' understanding
and performance. By analyzing the results of a diagnostic test, Teacher S can pinpoint areas where
students are struggling and tailor instruction to address their individual needs effectively.
A. Require her students to prepare a portfolio: While portfolios can be valuable tools for documenting
student progress and showcasing their work over time, they are not typically used for immediate
diagnosis of learning difficulties. Portfolios may provide insights into students' overall performance and
growth but may not offer timely information about specific learning challenges.
B. Administer an achievement test: Achievement tests measure students' mastery of content or skills at a
particular point in time. While achievement tests can assess students' overall performance, they may not
provide detailed information about specific learning difficulties or areas of weakness. Additionally,
achievement tests may not be designed to identify immediate learning difficulties as effectively as
diagnostic tests.
D. Interview her students directly: While interviewing students can be a valuable form of formative
assessment to gather insights into their learning experiences, perspectives, and challenges, it may not
yield immediate and objective information about specific learning difficulties. Interviews may provide
qualitative data that complements diagnostic test results but may not serve as the primary method for
diagnosing learning difficulties.
14. Teacher U asked her pupils to create a story out of the given pictures. Which projective technique
did Teacher U use?
A. Rorschach test
B. narrative
C. thematic apperception test
D. reflective
A. Rorschach test: The Rorschach test involves showing individuals a series of inkblot images and asking
them to interpret what they see. It focuses on perception rather than storytelling, and the responses are
used to assess personality traits and psychological functioning.
B. Narrative: While asking students to create a story from given pictures involves storytelling. The term
"narrative" is more general and does not specifically refer to a projective technique used in psychological
assessment.
C. Thematic Apperception Test (TAT): The TAT involves presenting individuals with ambiguous pictures
and asking them to create a story or narrative based on the images. The stories they create are then
analyzed to reveal underlying themes, motivations, and personality characteristics. Teacher U's use of
pictures to prompt storytelling aligns with the principles of the TAT.
D. Reflective: Reflective techniques involve encouraging individuals to think deeply about their thoughts,
feelings, and experiences.
15. You intend to assess affective attributes such as capacity to feel, attitudes, and behavior. Which of the
following should you establish to ascertain the instrument's validity
A. construct
B. content
C. criterion-related
D. face
- Construct validity is about how well a test measures the concept it was designed to evaluate.
- Content validity evaluates how well an instrument (like a test) covers all relevant parts of the construct
it aims to measure.
-Criterion validity (or criterion-related validity) evaluates how accurately a test measures the outcome it
was designed to measure.
-Face validity ensures that the assessment instrument looks appropriate and relevant for
measuring the intended affective attributes, thus making it the most appropriate choice in this
context.
