76. When a significantly greater number from the lower group
gets a test item correctly, this implies that the test item is
_.
A. Very validB. Not very validC. Not highly reliableD. Highly
reliable
The lower group is expected to have difficulties with test
items. If the a significantly greater number from the lower group
gets a test item correctly over the upper group, then, there's
something wrong with the item.
The answer for this item is option C - Not highly reliable.
77. Teacher X wants to make use of the most stable measure of
variability. Which one(s) should you recommend?
A. External range and Quartile rangeB. Standard DeviationC.
Quartile DeviationD. External Range
We all know that when we deal with the dispersion of data, we
always use Standard Deviation. The answer for this is B.
78. To determine student's entry knowledge and skills, which
test should be given?
A. AptitudeB. StandardizedC. DiagnosticD. Placement
Option B - Standardized - should be eliminated immediately. Any
type of test can be standardized. Moreover, it does not belong to
the same line of categorization as options A, C and D. We all know
that the opposite of standardized is teacher-made.
We're down to three.
An aptitude test assesses what a student can do or what he knows
right now. It's a test of how far has one gone in his studies. This
kind of test is administered for the purpose of identifying the
teacher's effectivity and the progress of the teaching-learning
process.
A diagnostic test, on the other hand, assesses what areas a
student is likely to have difficulties with. Diagnostic tests are
given, usually, at the start of the school year to direct the
teacher of what learning objectives to set.
Finally, a placement test assesses what a student can do or what
he know right nowfor the purpose of placing him in the right
section or group.Answer is option D -placement.Posted byMark PeaNo

43. Test norms are established in order to have bases for _.
A. Establishing learning objectivesB. Identifying pupils'
difficultiesC. Planning effective instructional devicesD. Comparing
test score
Remember that this item talks about test-construction. By this
token, it is safe to say that option A -Establishing learning
objectives - and option C -Planning effective instructional devices
- should immediately be out of the picture. This is because of the
fact that they do not deal with test-construction but with
instructional-planning.
Option B also seems to be a tantalizing choice but a simple
scrutiny will reveal that it should not be the answer for this
item. Remember that identifying pupil's difficulties is done
through a process called diagnostic assessment. The result of the
"test" itself is proof/basis in determining with which area
students are hard up.
The answer is option D - Comparing test score. This is true
because there are two kinds of test-score comparison/evaluation:
one that is criterion-referenced and another which is
norm-referenced.
44. Here is a test item: "Jose Rizal was born in Calamba, Laguna
on June _, 1861." What error is noticeable in this item?
A. The blank is very short.B. It is concerned with trivia.C. The
blanks are near the end.D. It is open to more than one correct
answer.
We all know that teacher are encouraged to bring out students'
higher order thinking skills when constructing test items. The
reason behind this is that knowledge level is not enough for global
competency and that anyone can memorize facts.
There nothing wrong about an item having a very short blank.
Indeed, there is also no problem about an item where the black is
near at the end. Although option D -It is open to more than one
correct answer - also makes a bit of a sense, we all know that Jose
Rizal was only born within a day and was not given birth by his
mother once more after that.
So, the answer is letter B - It is concerned with trivia.
45. The score distribution follows a normal curve. What does
this mean?
A. Most of the scores are on the -2SD.B. Most of the scores are
on the +2SD.C. The scores coincide with the mean.D. Most of the
scores pile up between -1SD and +1SD.
To be honest, I don't like these kinds of questions. However, we
can't do away with them.
The mean covers about 68.26% of a nomarl distribution curve. The
mean is represented by the T Score 50 or 0SD. The mean of
normally-distributed curve is between -1SD (T Score: 40) and+1SD (T
Score: 60), just around 0SD (T Score: 50).

A. The acceptance of exclusive schools for boys and girls.B. The
stress on the superiority of formal education over that of
alternative learning systems.C. Practice of inclusive education.D.
The concentration on formal education system.
If the answer is D -The concentration on formal education system
- were the correct answer, what would become of informal education
and other alternative learning systems? What about those who cannot
qualify for the formal education system?
Here, it is noticeable that option D and option B -The stress on
the superiority of formal education over that of alternative
learning systems - are the same. On the other hand, option A -The
acceptance of exclusive schools for boys and girls - promotes
gender discrimination.
Therefore, option C -Practice of inclusive education - is the
best answer.

37. Which of the following shows an interactive learning
environment?
A. The child goes out and discovers for himself some rock
fossils.B. The child listens to a lecture on fossils.C. The child
summarizes a science textbook discussing fossils.D. The child
writes in his notes lists of fossils from the board.
It's very easy to answer this question. Obviously, the answer is
option A -The child goes out and discovers for himself some rock
fossils.
There is nothing interactive about listening to a lecture. We
all know how boring lectures can get. How much more would it be for
a child?
There is nothing interactive about summarizing a section of a
textbook. We all know how mentally cumbersome and torturing the
task of summarizing is. It is not neither interactive nor fun.
Although writing is one of the five (5) macro-skills, still,
writing is not as interactive as option A.
[!] Remember that there are already 5 macro-skills: reading,
writing, listening, speaking and viewing. The old four-macro-skill
idea is already outdated due to the inundation of technological
advancements.
38. Teacher C wishes to stand by the belief that teachers are
trustees of the cultural and educational heritage of the nation and
is under the obligation to transmit to learners such heritage. What
should she do?
A. Use interactive teaching strategies.B. Use the latest
educational technology.C. Observe continuing educational
technology.D. Study the life of Filipino heroes.
Using interactive teaching strategies does not have even a lick
of effect to a teacher's being a trustee of cultural and
educational heritage. One can stand by such an idea with only the
use of the black board or the manila paper. Eliminate option A.
Option B -Use the latest educational technology - and option C
-Observe continuing educational technology are the same with option
A -Use interactive teaching strategies. They talk about educational
materials.
Basing our arguments on paragraph 1 and paragraph 2, we can
safely conclude that the best answer is option D -Study the life of
Filipino heroes.
39. DepEd plans to cluster remote stand-alone school under one
school head. What factor must be prioritized?
A. Psychological factorsB. Historical factorsC. Geographical
factorsD. Social factors

31. Student A cannot decide which course to enroll in her
college. As her adviser, what assistance are you going to give
her?
A. Tell her to pursue the course she is interested in.B. Tell
her to follow the trend.C. Inform her of the financial aspect of
the course she may likely to take.D. Advise the student to take an
aptitude test to determine the area where she is likely to
succeed.
Not because it is the longest answer but because it is the best
answer, option D -Advise the student to take an aptitude test to
determine the area where she is likely to succeed - is correct.
Options A, B and C are very shallow ways of assistance. To tell
and to inform belong to the lowest levels of advisory
functions.
To advise, on the other hand, involves knowledge, skills,
emotion and psyche.
32. Student B was observed to be always clowning, creating
distractions in your class. It would be best for you, as a teacher,
to:
A. Tell him how to behave in class.B. Remind him of the possible
consequences of his behavior.C. Ask him why he is behaving this
way.D. Ignore what he does.
Option D - Ignore what he does - might probably the stupidest
thing a teacher would do in a situation such as this. Misbehavior
in the classroom must always be handled, with intelligence, skills
and sympathy.
Options A and C are also good options but the best answer is C
-Ask him why he is behaving this way.
33. You are a parent and a teacher at the same time. Aside from
that, you are also one of those who head the PTA project - a school
canteen the proceeds of which are to finance PTA needs and the
sales of which are a little bit higher. Which of the following
should you do?
A. Bring food for you and your children, but always make it a
point to buy from the canteen.B. Buy all your food from the canteen
and request for a discount.C. Bring food enough for you and your
children. Don't eat in the canteen.D. Buy all your food from the
school canteen even if you cannot afford to do so every day.
Obviously, the answer is A -Bring food for you and your
children, but always make it a point to buy from the canteen.
Option B is unacceptable. Option C seems extreme. Option D seems
too much.Posted byMark PeaNo comments:Labels:[Prof.Ed.] QUESTIONS

28. Which describes best a man with a disciplined mind?
A. A man who is able to read and write legiblyB. A man whose
highest intellectual powers are developedC. A man equipped to deal
with the problems that confront him by intellectual meansD. A man
who has greater ability to use his intellectual powers for
controlling his emotional life
Here, we are confronted by a rather tricky question.
The keyword to be kept in mind is discipline. One who can read
or write in a way that others may understand is not a strong proof
of discipline. Moreover, having the highest intellectual power does
not guarantee discipline. Indeed, there had been a lot of instances
where an intelligent person has done mistakes characteristic of an
undisciplined mind.
Letter C, to be honest, can be a very plausible option. One who
can use his mind/intellectual capabilities to deal with problems
does show "discipline," to some extent. However, we are looking for
the best answer.
Option D -A man who has greater ability to use his intellectual
powers for controlling his emotional life - is the answer. This,
merely, is signaled by the word "discipline" in the question and
the word "control" in the option.
We all know that disciplining oneself means controlling the
same.
29. Which of the following is a method of Greek education?
A. Direct imitation of living modelsB. Direct inculcation of
certain qualitiesC. Learning through exampleD. All of the above
This here is a tough question. All of the options are plausible.
This is because all of them are the answer. Option D - All of the
above - is the answer for 29.
30. One of the four medieval religious institutions which
attempted to support authority of the church by the intellect, to
justify faith by reason and to substantiate theology by logic
A. ScholasticismB. MonasticismC. HumanismD. Guild System
Eliminate option D - Guild System. The Guild System isis an
association of artisans or merchants who control the practice of
their craft in a particular town. The earliest types of guild were
formed as confraternities of workers. They were organized in a
manner something between a professional association, trade union, a
cartel, and a secret society. They often depended on grants of
letters patent by a monarch or other authority to enforce the flow
of trade to their self-employed members, and to retain ownership of
tools and the supply of materials. A lasting legacy of traditional
guilds are the guildhalls constructed and used as meeting
places.
Now, we are only left with 3 options - A, B and C.
The answer is A - Scholasticism. Scholasticism is a
movement/institution that aimed to defend the dogma of the Catholic
Church because of the pressures of a pluralistic society.
B - Monasticism - is a way of life. Humanism is a moral
stance.Posted byMark PeaNo comments:Labels:[Prof.Ed.] QUESTIONS

25. When learning occurs through association, and neutral
stimulus becomes conditioned stimulus, what theory is
described?
A. Operant Conditioning TheoryB. Behaviorist TheoryC. Social
Learning TheoryD. Classical Conditioning Theory
Notice how options A, C and D are under B - Behaviorist Theory.
Although there is no such thing as the "Behaviorist Theory," in a
sense that it is called that way, there is a chance that an
examinee would answer B, just to be safe. However, it must be
pointed out that not all umbrella options should be considered.
First of all, the question is asking for a specific theory. We
all know that behaviorism deals with stimulus and response and that
the questioned mentioned the word "stimulus." We are now sure that
we are talking about behaviorism.
However, which theory under behaviorism? There are three major
theories under behaviorism: Operant Conditioning Theory, Classical
Conditioning Theory and the Theory of Connectionism. Which among
these three?
The easiest way around this is to look for keywords. The term
"conditioned stimulus" was mentioned. And, where else can we
encounter this term? Yes, Classical Conditioning Theory - D.
26. A theory that focuses on the sequence and processes by which
behavior is learned.
A. Operant Conditioning TheoryB. BehaviorismC. Social Learning
TheoryD. Classical Conditioning Theory
The same options for the previous item was used in this item.
Again, there is this question of whether to answer an umbrella
option or a specific option.
This time, it seeks a more general term. It does not mention
anything about punishment or reward or conditioned and
unconditioned stimuli. Therefore, the answer is B -
Behaviorism.
27. A law of learning which states that learning is strengthened
when it results to satisfaction but weakened when it leads to
annoyance.
A. Law of EffectB. Law of ReadinessC. Law of ExerciseD. Law of
Appreciation
There is no such thing as Law of Appreciation under
Connectionism. So, we are left with A, B and C.
Law of Readiness does not talk about whether learning is
strengthened or weakened. It only deals with the most probable
response a learner has for a specific stimulus based on what he is
more likely to "ready to respond" with.
Law of Exercise talks about whether learning is strengthened or
weakened. However, it does not deal with whether the learning leads
to satisfaction or annoyance. It is only concerned about whether
learning is frequent and intensive.
So, the answer is A - Law of Effect. The Law of Effect deals
with the consequences of learning.#8 DRILLS FOR PROF. ED.INCREASE

22. It is the process of acquiring, remembering and applying
knowledge, skills, attitude and other modes of response.
A. EducationB. LearningC. TeachingD. Development
Notice the last phrase. "Other modes of response" is obviously a
behaviorist's statement.
Do not forget that behaviorists define learning as the process
of acquiring, remembering and applying what has been observed or
predicted from the environment. Therefore, the answer is option B -
Learning.
Do not be deceived by option A - Education. Not all those who
are educated are learned. One can be learned without having been
educated.
Teaching, as we all know, is the process of imparting knowledge,
skills, attitude and other modes of response. So, obviously, this
is not the answer for this item.
On the other hand, development is the weakest dummy option in
this item. We are all aware that development is a biological
process. It exists and proceeds regardless of and even in the
absence of learning and teaching, not to mention one's lack of
education.
23. Behavior changes according to its immediate results:
pleasurable results strengthen behavior, unpleasant ones weaken it.
What principle of learning is described?
A. RecencyB. ExcitationC. ExtinctionD. Reinforcement
The answer for this item is option D - Reinforcement. A behavior
has to be reinforced for it to be modified. Negatively or
positively reinforced behaviors are more likely to reoccur.
Negatively or positively punished behaviors are less likely to
occur.
There is no such thing as law or principle of excitation in the
realm of pedagogy.
24. A factor which affects learning that emphasizes that
learning should be made recent in the minds of the learners so that
they will not forget what they have learned.
A. RecencyB. ExcitationC. ExtinctionD. Reinforcement
Based on the previous item, option D - Reinforcement - is not
the answer for this item. Obviously, it is option A - Recency. All
one has to do is to notice how the word "recent" was used in the
question.
There is no such thing as law or principle of excitation in the

19. What does a skewed distribution mean?
A. The scores are normally distributed.B. The mean and the
median are equal.C. The mode, the mean and the median are equal.D.
The scores are concentrated more at one end or the other end.
If a distribution of scores is normally distributed, it will not
be skewed. This question talks about skewed distributions.
Therefore, option A - The scores are normally distributed - must be
eliminated.
We should bear in mind that there there are two types of skewed
distributions - positively-skewed distributions and
negatively-skewed distributions. A positively-skewed distribution
is that where scores are more on the left side (low scores). A
negatively-skewed distribution is that where scores are more on the
right side (high scores).
The answer if option D -The scores are concentrated more at one
end or the other end.
20. What does not belong to the group?
A. Short-answerB. Restricted-responseC. CompletionD.
Multiple-Choice
Short-answer tests and restricted-response tests are actually
kinds of essay tests. None between A and B is the answer.
Completion is a supply-type test. So are short-answer and
restricted response tests. There are the tests where students are
expected to provide the answer themselves.
A, B and C are supply-type tests. Option D - Multiple-Choice -
is not a supply- but a select-test. Therefore, D is the answer.
21. Which is a type of graph in which lines represent each score
or set of scores?
A. ScattergramB. HistogramC. Frequency PolygonD. Scatterplot
Scattergram and scatterplot are the same things. Eliminate
options A and D.
Histogram is a kind of graphic representation, using, usually,
vertical bars to show frequencies of individual items. A frequency
polygon is where midpoints of the interval of corresponding
rectangle in a histogram are joined together by straight lines. It
gives a polygon i.e. a figure with many anglesPosted byMark PeaNo

16. The strongest disadvantage of the alternate-response type of
test is _.
A. The demand for critical thinkingB. The absence of analysisC.
The encouragement of rote memoryD. The high possibility of
guessing
Focus. You may learn a lot from this item.
The question demand a negative answer - "the strongest
disadvantage." At first glance alone, you can determine that option
A - demand for critical thinking - is an advantage on the part of
the teacher.
So, we only have two more options to eliminate. Remember that an
alternate-response test requires the student to choose from two
polar options. It may be "true or false," "yes or no," right or
wrong," etc. This is why option B - absence of analysis - must
immediately be eliminated. Alternate-response test do demand
analysis.
One more option to go and obviously, D - the high possibility of
guessing - is the answer.
17. A class is composed of academically poor students. The
distribution will more likely be _.
A. LeptokurticB. Skewed to the rightC. Skewed to the leftD.
Symmetrical
Considering that two opposite options contain the right answer,
let's focus on B and C. Outcomes of tests from a group of
academically poor students are likely low figures. So, it should be
positively-skewed.
Positively-skewed distributions are to the right (This indicates
poor scores) and negatively-skewed distributions are to the left
(This indicate high scores).
Remember that a leptokurtic curve is that which has scores about
the mean. Leptokurtic curves are also symmetrical, along with
mesokurtic and platykurtic distributions. Skewed distributions are
not symmetrical.
18. Which statement about median is correct?
A. It is a measure of variability.B. It is the most stable
measure for central tendency.C. It is the 50th percentile.D. It is
a significantly affected by extreme score.
All you have to remember here is that median is no a measure of
variability but of central tendency. Measures of variability
include Standard Deviation.
No one measure of central tendency is stable. All of them are
affected by different factors.
Median is significantly affected by extreme scores. Median is
not that much.
Therefore, option C - It is the 50th percentile - is the correct
answer.Posted byMark PeaNo comments:Labels:[Prof.Ed.] QUESTIONS

13. In a normal distribution curve, a T-score of 70 is _.
A. Two SDs below the meanB. Two SDs above the meanC. One SD
below the meanD. One SD above the mean
T-scores are set to 50 to represent the mean. a score of 10
represents 1 Standard Deviation. If you have a t-score of 60, you
have one SD above the mean and if you have a t-score of 40, you
have one SD below the mean.
So, the answer is B - Two SDs above the mean. 70 (t-score) = 50
(mean)+ 10 (SD) * 2.
14. Which type of test measure higher order thinking skills?
A. EnumerationB. MatchingC. CompletionD. Analogy
We all know that enumeration, matching and completion
areusuallyused for lower order thinking skills. It usually requires
only memorization or recall.
Analogy, on the other hand, requires logic and reasoning. This
is why it is under the category HOTS.
15. Standard deviation is to variability as _ is to central
tendency.
A. ModeB. QuartileC. RangeD. Pearson R
We have to remember that there are three measures of central
tendency. First, we have the mean. Also, we have the median and the
mode. Obviously, the answer is A - Mode.
Now, let's talk about why B, C and D aren't the answers. When we
mention Pearson R, we talk about correlation. When we mention
Quartile, we referthe values that divide a list of numbers into
quarters. Finally, when we mention range, we refer simply to the
difference between the lowest and the highest value.Posted byMark

10. Which is claimed to be the overall advantage of
criterion-referenced over norm-referenced interpretation? An
individual's score
A. Is compared with the set mastery levelB. Is compared with
that of his peersC. Is compared with the average scoresD. Does not
need to be compared with any measure.
As teachers, we have to interpret scores as a part of the
measurement and evaluation process. Based on this premise, option D
- Does not need to be compared with any measure - must be
eliminated immediately.
Option C - Is compared with the average scores - is actually a
rough application of Standard Deviation. It tries to determine the
difference (how far away) a certain score is from the average of
the group.
This leaves us with only two options - A and B. Funny, because
options A and B are actually the accurate definitions of
criterion-referenced interpretation and norm-referenced
interpretation, respectively.
11. Teacher A does norm-referenced interpretation of scores.
Which of the following does she do?
A. She uses a specified content as its frame of reference.B. She
describes a group of performance in relation to a level of mastery
set.C. She compares every individual student's score with others'
scores.D. She describes what should be their performances.
Based from what we have learned from the previous item,
norm-referenced interpretation is that which involves the
comparison of a specific score with the achievement of the whole
class or other students. On the other hand, criterion-referenced
interpretation involves the comparison of an individual score with
a level of mastery set by the teacher, the school or the agency of
education.
12. All examinees obtained scores below the mean. A graphic
representation of the score distribution will be __.
A. Negatively-skewedB. Perfect normal curveC. LeptokurticD.
Positively-skewed
If all members of a group of examinees obtained scores above the
mean, the distribution will be negatively-skewed. In this case, all
examinees obtained scores below the mean. So, the distribution will
be positively-skewed.
A leptokurtic distribution is a thin curve. This happens when
scores are just about the mean. A perfect normal curve is when a
group of examinees got a normal distribution of scores represented
by a bell shape.Posted byMark PeaNo comments:Labels:[Prof.Ed.]

correct answer.D. The blank is at the end of the question.
First of all, there is not problem if the central problem is not
packed in the stem or if the blank is at the end of the question or
not. Although there really is a chance that the length of a black
can suggest the answer for the item, it's wishful-thinking to say
that the black alone can coach the student the answer.
So, the answer is actually option C - It is open to more than
one correct answer. Edgar Allan Poe had written a lot of
stories.
8. Which does NOT belong to the group?
A. CompletionB. MatchingC. Multiple ChoicesD. Alternate
Responses
This kind of question is a bit tricky. It requires a lot of
content knowledge.
The answer is actually option A - Completion. Completion is
under the category of test-types called "Objective Supply." This
type or category of tests allows the students to supply the answer
and expects a convergent answer.
Options B, C and D are under "Objective Select." Under this
category, students are given choices. So, that's what makes them
different from one another.

4. In his conduct of item analysis, Teacher A found out that a
significantly greater number of the upper group of the class got
the test item #5 correctly. This means that the test item:
A. Has a positive discriminating powerB. Has a negative
discriminating powerC. Has a high reliabilityD. Has a low
validity
Item analysis is a method of increasing the reliability of a
test. However, option C - Has a high reliability - is not the
correct answer.
If you try to notice, although the teacher used item analysis,
the question refers to a specific item in the test - item #5.
Remember that each item in a test under item analysis is compared
to other items' index of discrimination and index of
difficulty.
The answer for this item is option A - Has a positive
discriminating power. First of all, option A and B are directly
opposite choices. Second of all, comparing the upper and the lower
group is a form of discrimination. Finally, the upper group is
expected to perform better than the lower group.
5. Which is implied by a positively-skewed score
distribution?
A. The mean, the median and the mode are equal.B. Most of the
scores are high.C. The mode is high.D. Most of the scores are
low.
The answer for this item is option D - Most of the scores are
low. Notice that option B and D are direct opposites.
A positively-skewed distribution shows that most scores are low;
a negatively-skewed distribution shows that most scores are high.
Here is a photo that shows a positively skewed distribution:

You may be tempted to answer C - Define the instructional
objectives - because objectives are always prioritized in the world
of teaching. However, notice that the question does not talk about
providing instruction. Rather, it talks about test
construction.
Be careful. Always consider the main thought of the whole
option, not just a word or two.
The answer for this item is D - Construct a table of
specifications. Remember that TOS's are very important in the
process of constructing tests. It is the "first step."
Now, let's talk about options A and B. Both A and B are
processes involved in the construction of a table of
specifications.

Tendency
There are three ways of measuring a data's central tendency.
First, we have the mean. The other two are median and mode.
Obviously, the answer is option D.
Now, let's discuss options A, B and C. Options A and B are very
similar. Isn't it that we have two things to consider in an item
analysis - the discriminatory index and the level/index of
difficulty? You don't need any choice that is the same with another
option. Eliminate such options.
Correlation, on the other hand, can be measured using special
mathematical fomulae like the Pearson R. Mean can never determine
the correlation of two sets of data.

3. Which characteristic of a good test will pupil be assured
when a teacher constructs a table of specification for test
construction purposes?
A. ScorabilityB. ReliabilityC. EconomyD. Content Validity
Reliability refers to the consistency of test outcomes across
populations. One of the important things that a test must have to
be have consistency is validity. Validity must first be achieved
before reliability.
All tests are scorable. It is only that different types of tests
have different levels of scorability. Essays are less scorable than
multiple-choice tests; this is why essays usually need rubrics. No
matter how good a teacher is in constructing TOS's, the scorability
of a type of test doesn't change.
Economy, when it comes to test construction, is the lack of need
to spend too much to administer and examination. We don't get
economy from tables of specification; it is a matter of experience
and technique for the teacher.
The answer is option D.
TEST-TAKING SKILLS:
[!] Know all characteristics of a good test and their
differences.
