My text states:

"For example, criterion-referenced test
items might ask: Can the child lace and tie his or her own shoes? Walk seven consecutive steps on a balance beam? Match five shapes and colors in one minute?

(The question on my assignment was:

A test that asks if a child can complete a five-piece form puzzle
in two minutes.

Would that not be an example of a criterion-reference tests?

Thank you for clarifying this question. My source apparently doesn't apply to preschool testing.

Completing a five-piece jigsaw puzzle is definitely a criterion-referenced test. You're right. :-)

Thank you for providing your answers and asking me to check them. Overall, you have done a great job with your answers. However, there is one question where your answer is not correct. Let's go through each question and answer to identify the one that is incorrect.

1. The correct answer is A. You answered correctly by selecting "families to be partners in decision-making." This answer is supported by the fact that family-focused early education encourages collaboration and partnership between families and educators.

2. The correct answer is C. You answered correctly by selecting "cultural sensitivity." Learning the words to greet a family in their native language demonstrates cultural sensitivity and respect for their language and traditions.

3. The correct answer is B. You answered correctly by selecting "provide the family with information on the child's disability." Empowering the family of an exceptional child involves providing them with information and resources to understand their child's disability and participate in decision-making.

4. The correct answer is D. You answered correctly by selecting "Report cards with letter grades." Report cards with letter grades may not effectively communicate a young child's development to parents because they provide limited information and focus on grades rather than holistic development.

5. The correct answer is C. Your answer is incorrect. The test that asks if a child can complete a five-piece form puzzle in two minutes is a timed test, not a criterion-referenced test. A criterion-referenced test measures what a person has been taught, while a timed test measures speed or efficiency.

6. The correct answer is A. You answered correctly by selecting "given by someone familiar with the child's culture." When identifying problems in a young child from a different culture, it is important to administer tests in a culturally sensitive manner by someone knowledgeable about the child's culture.

Based on this evaluation, #5 is the question where your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is C - timed. Completing a five-piece form puzzle in two minutes is a measure of how quickly the child can complete the task, rather than a measure of their mastery of a specific criterion.

I hope this helps clarify your answers. Keep up the good work!
