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

Fact questions
The Practical Test Standards should be used in
Flight training and testing

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
