Test Bank for Managing Performance through Training and Development, 8th Edition By Alan Saks ABOUT THE NELSON EDUCATION TEACHING ADVANTAGE (NETA) In most post-secondary courses, a large percentage of student assessment is based on multiple-choice testing. Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it is a methodology best used for testing what a student remembers rather than what she or he has learned. Nelson Education Ltd. understands that a good quality multiple-choice test bank can provide the means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing the importance of multiple-choice testing in today’s classroom, we have created NETA—the Nelson Education Teaching Advantage program—to ensure the value of our high-quality test banks. The NETA program was created in partnership with David DiBattista, a 3M National Teaching Fellow, professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiplechoice testing. NETA ensures that subject-matter experts who author test banks have had training in two areas: avoiding common errors in test construction, and developing multiplechoice test questions that “get beyond remembering” to assess higher-level thinking. All NETA test banks include David DiBattista’s guide for instructors, “Multiple Choice Tests: Getting Beyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nelson test banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course. The Test Bank for Managing Performance Through Training and Development, Eighth Edition has been revised for Canadian students by Alan M. Saks, University of Toronto. The multiplechoice questions were written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the development of higher-order thinking and the effective construction of questions. NETA principles of question construction help eliminate ambiguity, arguable answers, guesswork, and unconscious cues to test-savvy students, resulting in a test that accurately reflects student understanding. The Test Bank offers over 700 questions including 480 multiple choice, 120 short answer, and 120 essay questions. v In addition to providing a variety of questions related to each chapter objective, this test bank also employs a series of tags that can help design effective, balanced tests by the measure of course outcomes. All of the tags are included with the question in the test bank. These tags include: • ANSWER: The correct answer. (Suggested answers are often provided for the essay and short answer questions). • DIFFICULTY: The general difficulty of the question (Easy, Moderate, Difficult). • POINTS: The number of points an instructor can assign for each question. The default is 1 point. • REFERENCE: The related main head from the text chapter and/or the page number that covers the question content. • KEYWORDS: The category from Bloom’s taxonomy for learning (Remember, Higher Order, etc.). This category is included to assist instructors in assessing student’s higherorder cognitive skills. • CUSTOM ID: The original question number in the Cognero question set.
