8. Those one observes.






9. Methods of quantitatively analyzing and organizing scores. The methods used include mean - median - mode - range - and standard deviation.






10. A taxonomy created by Bloom. According to this model - there are six levels of mastery of a concept. The student must reach the levels in specific order; higher level skills cannot be mastered without the lower levels. The levels are knowledge (simpl

22. A measure of how well scores from the same test correlate when taken by the same people on two different occasions.






23. According to the Two-Store Model - this is the first phase of memory processing. This part of memory temporarily holds all sensory information.






24. Breaking apart a learning task into specific - concrete objectives a student must achieve to master the task.






25. A measure of how imperfect the validity of a test is.






26. A theory which focuses on how to structure material to best teach students - especially young ones. This approach can be divided into two general approaches: cognitive and behavioral.






27. The amount of class time devoted to teaching.






28. A kind of achievement test which combines several different subject areas into the same test.

44. Advance organizers which list new - unlearned information the students will need for the lesson.






45. Learning outcomes defined by specific operational steps and skills a student must master. Gronlund believed that general objectives would lead to these kinds of outcomes.
