Test Bank For Sociology, 18th Edition by John J. Macionis, Answered-In this revision of the test bank, I have updated all of the questions to reflect changes in Sociology, Eighteenth Edition. The que... stions are tagged to indicate one of four levels of learning that move from lower-level to higher-level cognitive reasoning. The four levels: Recollection: a question involving recall of key terms or factual material Understanding: a question testing comprehension of more complex ideas Application: a question applying sociological knowledge to some new situation Analysis: a question requiring identifying elements of an argument and their interrelationship The 195 questions in this chapter‘s test bank are divided into four types. True/False questions are the least demanding. As the table below shows, two-thirds of these are ―Recollection‖ questions, and all of them fall within the lowest three levels of cognitive reasoning (―Recollection,‖ ―Understanding,‖ and ―Application‖). Multiple-choice questions span a broader range of skills (most are ―Recollection‖ questions and the remainder are divided among the three higher levels). Short-answer questions are spread across the highest three levels of reasoning. Finally, essay questions are the most demanding because they require analysis and other higher levels of cognitive reasoning.
