EBT Strategies Post Test

Which of the following best defines evidence-based teaching?

• Teaching that relies on long-term experience and intuition

• Using instructional methods supported by valid research evidence

• Implementing strategies preferred by most teachers

• Applying trends in modern education seminars

What is the main focus of John Hattie's research on Visible Learning?

• Evaluating student behavior and classroom engagement

• Ranking schools based on performance outcomes

• Measuring the impact of various teaching practices on student achievement

• Promoting self-paced learning programs

Which example best illustrates explicit instruction?

• The teacher models a skill, then guides and lets students practice independently

• Students freely explore the topic and share what they learned

• The teacher gives a research task without prior discussion

• Students learn through trial and error with minimal guidance

The main purpose of formative assessment is to:

• Assign grades to students’ daily performance

• Adjust teaching based on students’ current learning progress

• Evaluate the effectiveness of summative assessments

• Replace the need for end-of-unit exams

Which classroom setup best reflects cooperative learning?

• Students work in groups, but the teacher grades them individually

• Groups complete a task together with shared goals and accountability

• Students take turns answering while others listen

• The teacher lectures and calls volunteers to summarize points

Retrieval practice is distinguished from ordinary review sessions by:

• actively recalling information rather than just rereading it

• reviewing notes repeatedly without testing oneself

• passively listening to lectures

• memorizing facts through repetition only

Differentiated instruction means:

• Giving the same activity to all students but adjusting time limits

• Varying instruction based on readiness, interests, and learning profiles

• Allowing only fast learners to take enrichment activities

• Modifying only assessments but not teaching content

Which feedback example best supports learning improvement?

• You need to pay more attention next time.

• You did well, but check how you explained step 2.

• Excellent! Keep it up.

• You’re smarter than most of your classmates.

Why is teacher collaboration vital to evidence-based teaching?

• It ensures all teachers follow the same lesson plan

• It allows data sharing and the exchange of proven practices

• It reduces the teacher’s individual accountability

• It ensures all classes perform equally in assessments

Why should teachers adopt evidence-based strategies?

• To align lessons with what is popular in education trends

• To ensure their methods are backed by data and research for better outcomes

• To meet school compliance requirements only

• To make learning more entertaining without structure
