Educational Research Method Chapter 4 (Quiz)

Which of the following best describes norm-referenced tests?

• Norm-referenced tests compare student performance to a norm group.

• Standardized tests are developed using learning standards as criteria

• Self-referenced tests compare performance against a predetermined standard.

• Criterion-referenced tests measure specific learning objectives.

What statement correctly defines criterion-referenced tests?

• Standardized tests are more reliable than non-standardized tests

• Norm-referenced tests evaluate performance against a norm group.

• Self-referenced tests assess an individual's performance over time.

• Criterion-referenced tests compare performance against a predetermined standard.

Which type of test measures individual performance over time?

• Standardized tests have established reliability and validity measures

• Criterion-referenced tests evaluate progress against a standard.

• Norm-referenced tests assess performance against established norms.

• Self-referenced tests measure an individual's performance over time.

What do achievement tests measure?

• Attitude tests measure opinions and beliefs.

• Personality tests assess personal characteristics.

• Aptitude tests predict future performance.

• Achievement tests measure previously learned knowledge and skills.

Which of these tests predicts future performance potential?

• Personality tests measure personal traits.

• Self-referenced tests track an individual's progress over time.

• Aptitude tests predict future performance.

• Achievement tests assess what a student has already learned.

What do personality tests measure?

• Aptitude tests measure potential or ability.

• Achievement tests assess previously learned knowledge.

• Attitude tests measure opinions and beliefs.

• Personality tests evaluate personal characteristics.

What do attitude and interest scales measure?

• Achievement tests determine what has been learned.

• Aptitude tests predict future performance.

• Attitude and interest scales measure attitudes or preferences.

• Personality tests measure individual traits.

Which of these tools provides numerically quantified behavioral assessments?

• Norm-referenced tests compare results to norm groups.

• Archival data are previously collected data.

• Checklists simply indicate the presence or absence of behaviors.

• Behavior rating scales quantify behavioral observations.

What is archival data?

• Achievement tests assess knowledge and skills previously gained.

• Archival data are pre-existing data collected by others.

• Behavior rating scales numerically quantify observations.

• Checklists record the presence or absence of behaviors.

How does a frequency polygon display data?

• A frequency polygon uses lines to connect data points.

• A skewed distribution is asymmetrical.

• A normal distribution is symmetrical and bell-shaped.

• A histogram uses bars to represent data.
