Bayside High School requires freshmen to take an English composition course. However, school faculty members agree that a few students are sufficiently skilled in writing that they really don't need to take the course—that the students would essentially be studying things they already know. At a weekly faculty meeting, one teacher suggests that the school use the results of the standardized
language arts achievement test given to all eighth graders to determine which students should be exempted from the freshmen composition course the following year. The faculty agree that any ninth grader who earns a score at the 80th percentile or higher on the eighth-grade test does not have to take the course. Which one of the following mistakes have the teachers definitely made here? a. Language arts achievement tests have no predictive validity for performance in writing a year later. b. The test's construct validity is the validity of most concern here, but it has not been determined. c. The teachers have no clear rationale for choosing their cutoff score. d. Standardized achievement tests in language arts have notoriously poor reliability.
Mr. Remick asks 9-year-old Anne to divide a pitcher of lemonade equally between two glasses, one each for her and her friend Kate. The two glasses are different shapes, with Anne's being tall and thin and Kate's being short and wide. After Anne pours the lemonade, Mr. Remick says to her, "Look, the lemonade in your glass is higher than the lemonade in Kate's glass. Did you give yourself more than
you gave Kate?" "No," Anne replies, "my glass is skinnier." Mr. Remick continues to ask Anne questions to determine how well she understands that height compensates for width in this situation. Mr. Remick's strategy can best be described as illustrating: a. equilibration. b. class inclusion. c. formal operations. d. the clinical method.
