Q1. Levels of Depth of Knowledge (DOK)?

DOK (Depth of Knowledge) was presented by Webb in 1997, giving four levels of learning activities. 1) Recall: Simple recall of facts (e.g., define, list). 2) Skill/Concept: Application of concepts or procedures (e.g., compare, summarize).

3. Strategic Thinking: Reasoning, planning, using evidence (e.g., analyze,

critique). 4) Extended Thinking: Complex reasoning over time (e.g., design, synthesize, reflect).

Q2. What is Split Half Method?

Split half method is a measure of internal consistency. Split half reliabilities tend to be higher than equivalent form reliabilities because split half method is based on the administration of single assessment. The splitd is a way to check how reliable a test is by dividing it into two parts and comparing the results. You take one test and split it into two equal halves, like odd-numbered questions in one half and even-numbered questions in the other. You score both halves separately. If the scores on both halves match closely, it means the test is consistent and reliable. The Spearman Brown formula is then used to adjust the reliability score for the full test.

Q3. Differentiate b/w Formative and summative assessment?

Formative Assessment

Formative assessment is used during teaching to monitor students’ learning. It provides feedback to improve teaching methods and help students overcome learning difficulties. It focuses on how students are learning, not on grading.

Uses:

• Identifies students’ strengths and weaknesses
• Helps teachers modify teaching strategies
• Improves the teaching–learning process
• Encourages students to reflect and improve

Examples:

• Class quizzes
