Essay
What are some ways that you can motivate a student to learn by assessing them?
If you tell a student that there will be a test on something, for example simple addition and subtraction, hopefully they would like to go home and study so that they can get an excellent score on the test. Assessment can also help motivate a student because if they get an answer wrong, the student will want to improve so that the next time they can get it right and receive a higher grade on the test.
Sorry guys, the answer to my multiple choice question is A, designing assessments that embody learning goals.

List three ways to help you make your judgment as accurate as possible when grading essays, papers, and projects?
• Be clear that all students are likely to produce scorable work. If every student does something different it is hard to score accurately.
• Use clear rubrics.
• Score work without looking at the student’s name.
• Score answers to one question, or one essay or assignment, before moving on to the next, so you are concentrating on one scoring scheme at a time.

A better example is: Solve pracitcal problems using calculations and estimation.

B. Assessment in which students are presented with tasks that are directly educationally meaningful.

Correct Answer: C
Essay:
-Name and define the three domains that educational learning targets generally fall into. Also, give an example for two.
1.) Cognitive domain - Targets focus on knowledge and abilities requiring memory, thinking, and reasoning processes. For example, you may want students to read a claim made by a political figure and determine whether there is evidence available to support that claim.
2.) Affective domain - Targets focus on feelings, interests, attitudes, dispositions, and emotional states. For example, you may want students to value the right to vote in elections over other activities competing for their time.
3.) Psychomotor domain - Targets focus on motor skills and perceptual processes. For example, you may want students to set up, focus, and use a microscope properly during a science investigation of pond water.
Chapter 2
1. In order to determine if a student's standing in the class is likely to change when the same test is administered, which type of reliability coefficient should be used?
a. internal consistency reliability
b. test-retest reliability
c. correlation reliability
d. split-halves reliability
Answer: B
2. Describe three causes of measurement error by providing a brief scenario of how each could occur in a classroom. Also include one or two negative consequences for each cause.
Answer:
a.) Students' scores change simply because a different set of questions was asked about the same learning targets. In your class, you are always choosing which question to put on or leave out of a quiz or test. A student who knows the answers to the questions you left off but doesn't know the answers to the questions you put on the test gets a lower score.
b.)Another cause of inconsistency is that you decide to give your test on Thursday instead of Friday. One student had a family tragedy on Wednesday night, so she was in bad shape taking your test on Thursday, getting a lower score than she would have gotten had she had an extra day to recover.
c.) A third source of inconsistency is your own scoring. You score the tests during your lunch break, for example, and are a bit rushed. If you scored the tests after school in a more leisurely way, some of the scores might have been different because you would have given more thought to the students' responses. Or if you are in a bad mood due to personal reasons, you may not consider the effort the student put into the test and just mark the answers wrong even if partial credit should be given.

Discuss the interrelationships among problem-solving ability, creative thinking, and critical thinking.
Answer:
Problem solving ability, creative thinking, and critical thinking are very closely related. Problem solving referes to the kind of thinking required when reaching a goal is not automatic and students must use one or more higher-order thinking processes. To solve problems, people utilize both general and specific problem solving strategies. It is the responsibility of the educator to teach students various strategies of problem solving which can be expressed creatively while still using critical thinking. Examples would include:
- Creating a model for a problem using pictures, sketches, diagrams, graphs, equations, or symbols.
- Using analogical thinking: Ask, "What is this problem like?" "Where have I seen something similar to this?"
- Trying to work backwards by starting with the goal and going backwards to find the solition strategy.

Essay Question
1. There are several strategies for problem solving that a teacher may teach their students. Please list at least four and expand.
Answer:
Teachers are responsible for teaching their students multiple ways to solve problems. There are many strategies that students can use to make their point across, clearly and correctly.
One example would be to try to see the whole picture. Students should not focus only on the details. Having a student do this will help them see the problem in a different way, helping them to get an idea of how to answer it.
Another example would be to create a model for a problem using pictures, sketches, diagrams, graphs, equations, or symbols. This is extremely useful for those who are visual learners. Some students need to see an answer in front of them in something other than words.
Try working backwards is yet another way to solve a problem. A student may realize the goal right off the bat, but not know exactly how to get there. By starting with the goal and going backwards to find the solution strategy, the student can fill in all the blanks.
Lastly, talk about and through the problem. Chances are, if a student works at a problem for a while, and they talk about it, a solution may appear without even expecting it. This helps a student not to get frustrated.
