Authentic

What is true of all syllabi?

All syllabi should stress well-defined objectives and standards for each lesson

Development and assembly of blocks of learning in their proper relationships will provide a mans for

Allowing the learner to master the segments of the overall pilot performance requirements individually and combining these with other related segments

An instructor's critique of a learner's performance should be

As varied in content as the performance being evaluated

The process of gathering measurable information to meet evaluation needs of a learner is known as what?

Assessment

During oral quizzing in a given lesson, effective questions should

Be brief and concise

To be effective, an assessment should

Be flexible enough to satisfy the requirements of the moment.

For oral quizzing to be effective during a lesson, a question should

Be limited to who, what, when, where, why, or how, not a combination

To be effective in oral quizzing during the conduct of a lesson, a question should

Be of suitable difficulty for that stage of training

Which statement is true about instructors' assessment?

Before learners willingly accept their instructor's assessment, they must first accept the instructor

In all quizzing as a portion of the instruction process, the questions should

Call for specific answers and be readily evaluated by the instructor

To answer a learner's question, it is most important that the instructor

Clearly understand the question

(Figure 1) Section G is titled

Completion standards

When it is impossible to conduct a scheduled lesson, it is preferable for the instructor to

Conduct a lesson that is not predicated completely on skills to be dveloped during the lesson which was postponed

When an instructor critiques a learner, it should always be

Conducted immediately after the learner's performance

Which statement is true regarding an assessment that is constructive?

Constructive assessments can inspire a learner to improve in areas of lesser accomplishment

Which statement is true about lesson plans?

The use of standard lesson plans may not be effective for students requiring a different approach

The FAA Practical Test Standards

Contain tasks in addition to those presented in 14 CFR Part 61

(Figure 1) Section B is titled

Content

FAA Practical Test Standards are

Criterion-referenced

Practical tests for pilot certification are

Criterion-referenced

A pretest constructed to measure knowledge and skills necessary to begin a course is referred to as a

Criterion-referenced test

Performance-based objectives are a distinguishable characteristic of

Criterion-referenced testing

A written test that is objective

Describes the singleness of scoring a test

In planning any instructional activity, the first consideration should be to

Determine the overall objectives and standards.

Which is not a step to ensuing a quality lesson?

Determining the length of the practice session

The characteristic of a written test, which measures small differences in achievement between learners, is its

Discrimination

A written test having the characteristic of discrimination will

Distinguish between students both low and high in achievement.

(Figure 1) Section D is titled

Equipment

Instructors must be aware of the fact that

FAA Practical Test Standards (PTS) books are testing documents only

During oral quizzing, which type of questions should an instructor expect a learner to answer based on memory or recall?

Fact questions

The Practical Test Standards should be used in

Flight training and testing

Which of the following statements is true?

For an instructor's critique to be effective, the learner must first accept the instructor

With regards to oral quizzing, which type of question requires the learner to combine knowledge with the ability to analyze, solve problems, and arrive at conclusions?

HOTS questions

Proper oral quizzing by the instructor during a lesson can have which result?

Identifies points which need more emphasis

(Figure 1) Section E is titled

Instructor's actions

Which of the following is not a type of critique?

Instructor-absence critique

Which is one of the major difficulties encountered in the construction of multiple-choice test items?

Inventing distractors which will be attractive to students lacking knowledge or understanding.

Which is true about an instructor's assessment of a learner's performance?

It should be constructive and objective

Which statement is true relative to effective multiple-choice test items?

Keep all alternatives of approximately equal length

The main concern in developing a lesson plan is the

Learner

(Figure 1) Section F is titled

Learner's actions

Which statement is true regarding lesson plans?

Lesson plans help instructors keep a constant check on their own activity as well as that of their students

What grading dimension or level has a learner reached when they correctly gather information, identify proper courses of action, evaluate risk, and make an appropriate decision without instructor input?

Manage-Decide

In a written test, which type of selection-type test items reduces the probability of guessing correct responses?

Matching

Comprehensiveness is the degree to which a test

Measures the overall objectives

A written test has validity when it

Measures what it is supposed to measure

With regard to the characteristics of a well-planned lesson, each lesson should contain

New material that is related to the lesson previously presented

(Figure 1) Section A is titiled

Objective

Each lesson of training syllabus includes

Objective, content and completion standards

One desirable result of proper oral quizzing by the instructor is to
