A teacher asks his/her students to draw a concept map to reflect their comprehension of a topic. He/she is

• testing the ability of the students to summarise the main points

• trying to develop rubrics to evaluate the achievement of the students

• jogging the memory of the students

• conducting formative assessment

In a Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation, the phrase 'Comprehensive Evaluation' indicates

• evaluation of whole syllabus

• evaluation of all subject

• evaluation of cognitive domain, affective domain, and psychomotor domain

• evaluation of cognitive domain

Failure of a child to perform well in class tests leads us to believe that

• assessment is objective and can be used to clearly identify failures

• children are born with certain capabilities and deficits

• there is a need to reflect upon the syllabus, pedagogy and assessment processes

• some children are deemed to fail irrespective of how hard the system tries

Which one of the following assessment practices will bring out the best in students?

• When students are required to reproduce facts as tested via multiple choice questions

• When the emphasis is laid upon positive correlation between test scores and student ability

• When conceptual change and students' alternative solutions are assessed through several different methods of assessment

• When the marks obtained and the position secured by the student in the class are the ultimate determinants of success

A teacher in a multi-cultural classroom would ensure that the assessment considers the following

• reliability and validity of her assessment tool

• socio-cultural context of her students

• expectations of the school administration by complying with the minimum levels of learning

• standardization of the assessment tool

Assessment is an integral part of teaching-learning process because

• assessment helps the teacher to understand children's learning and serves as a feedback for her own teaching

• assessment is the only way to ensure that teachers have taught and students have learnt

• in today's time marks are the only important thing in education

• children need to be marked so that they know where they stand in comparison to their peers

Multiple Choice Questions assess the child's ability to

• construct the correct answer

• explain the correct answer

• recognize the correct answer

• recall the correct answer

Questions encouraging students to voice their individual opinions on issues and reflections while giving reasons for the same, promote

• standardized assessment of children

• analytical and critical thinking

• convergent thinking

• recall of information

Achievement tests can be given in

• two ways

• four ways

• six ways

• three ways

When a test measures an individual's ability consistently accurately, then that test is known as

• Validity
