Description From Publisher
Practice inquiry learning and metacognitive skills. Knowledge and Judgment. Write, review, game and test at five levels of thinking. Instructions and sample data are built in. Students author report/review test bank files. Score as alternative assessments. Convert to remedial exercises and class tests. The three tutor modes stress recall, levels of thinking, and the sense of responsibility needed to learn at all levels of thinking. The question editor prompts for a seven part paragraph: (1) a descriptive question stem, (2-3) acceptable labels or answers and (4-7) related labels and answers that are not acceptable or within desired limits. Only parts (1) and (2) are required. These seven parts are then recombined into dozens of different questions. When writing, students need to determine what is like and unlike, what is within and outside of acceptable limits, what is related and what is not related to the question stem. This is applied critical reading and thinking. They practice inquiry learning and metacognitive skills. Large type makes the program usable for the visually handicapped and for group activities. A fully developed question returns at five levels of thinking or questioning. The five levels of thinking are: (1) Student, responds to a question stem without seeing any answers. (2) Scholar, responds to a question stem that must be visualized. (3) Scientist, selects wrong answers until only one is left. (4) Pupil, selects the traditional right answer. (5) Tourist, gambles that random chance will select an acceptable answer. True Study Skills, True Test Writer, and True Score (scores class tests traditionally and for knowledge and judgment) make up a student/teacher development system. Passive concrete students experience being self-correcting scholars. They learn how to learn (question, describe, label, classify, relate, verify and apply).
