24 sample cards from the Pedagogy & Teaching Methodology deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
State the five steps of a Herbartian lesson plan in order.
Preparation (introduction), Presentation, Association/Comparison, Generalization, and Application (often followed by Recapitulation).
In Bloom's Taxonomy (cognitive domain), list the six levels from lowest to highest (original version).
Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation.
What are the three domains of Bloom's Taxonomy of educational objectives?
Cognitive (knowledge/thinking), Affective (attitudes/feelings/values), and Psychomotor (physical/motor skills) domains.
What are the characteristics of a well-written instructional objective (SMART/behavioral)?
It should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, and stated in terms of observable student behavior (action verbs).
What is classroom discipline and the difference between preventive and corrective discipline?
Discipline is orderly, productive student behavior conducive to learning. Preventive discipline anticipates and avoids misbehavior through good planning; corrective discipline responds to and addresses misbehavior after it occurs.
Name three features of a positive (conducive) classroom environment.
A safe and orderly atmosphere, supportive teacher-student relationships, active engagement, and adequate physical conditions (lighting, seating, ventilation, displays).
What are the main democratic, autocratic, and laissez-faire styles of classroom leadership?
Autocratic: teacher controls all decisions; Democratic: teacher shares decisions and encourages participation; Laissez-faire: teacher gives students full freedom with minimal guidance.
What is teacher-student interaction and why is it important?
It is the verbal and non-verbal communication and relationship between teacher and learners. It is important because positive interaction increases motivation, participation, understanding, and a healthy learning climate.
What is Flanders' Interaction Analysis Category System (FIACS) used for?
It is a tool to observe and analyze classroom verbal interaction, classifying talk into teacher talk (direct/indirect), student talk, and silence to assess teaching behavior.
Define curriculum (narrow vs. broad meaning).
Narrow: the body of subjects/courses of study offered by a school. Broad: the sum total of all planned learning experiences provided by the school to achieve educational objectives.
List the four basic elements/components of a curriculum (Tyler's model).
Objectives, Content (learning experiences), Organization/Methods of instruction, and Evaluation.
Name common types of curriculum design.
Subject-centered design, Learner-centered (child-centered) design, and Problem-centered (core/activity) design.
Classify instructional aids into their main categories.
Audio aids (radio, recordings), Visual aids (charts, models, pictures, board), and Audio-visual aids (TV, films, multimedia, computers).
According to Edgar Dale's Cone of Experience, which experiences are most concrete and which most abstract?
Direct, purposeful (real) experiences at the base are most concrete, while verbal symbols (words) at the apex are most abstract; concreteness decreases as you move up the cone.
Differentiate formative and summative assessment.
Formative assessment is ongoing, conducted during instruction to monitor and improve learning (e.g., quizzes, feedback). Summative assessment occurs at the end to judge/grade overall achievement (e.g., final exams).
Differentiate norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests.
Norm-referenced tests compare a student's performance against that of other students (ranking). Criterion-referenced tests measure performance against a fixed set of predetermined standards/criteria, regardless of others.
What is the difference between an essay-type and an objective-type test item?
Essay-type items require students to construct extended free responses (testing higher-order skills but subjective to score). Objective-type items (MCQ, true/false, matching) have predetermined correct answers and are scored objectively and reliably.
Define 'validity' and 'reliability' of a test.
Validity is the degree to which a test measures what it is intended to measure. Reliability is the consistency or stability of test scores over repeated measurements.
What is the difference between measurement, assessment, and evaluation?
Measurement assigns numbers/quantifies a trait; Assessment gathers information about learning; Evaluation makes a value judgment/decision about worth based on that information.
What is a 'table of specifications' (test blueprint) in test construction?
A two-way chart that maps content topics against cognitive objectives, ensuring the test items are balanced and proportionally represent the content and skills to be measured (content validity).
In item analysis, what do the difficulty index and discrimination index measure?
The difficulty index (p) measures the proportion of students who answered an item correctly (item easiness/hardness). The discrimination index measures how well an item distinguishes between high- and low-achieving students.
What makes feedback effective for learning?
Effective feedback is timely, specific, constructive, focused on the task/performance (not the person), understandable, and tells the learner how to improve.
What is the purpose of a progress report (reporting) in education?
To communicate a student's academic achievement, strengths, weaknesses, and progress to students, parents, and stakeholders, guiding improvement and decision-making.
What is Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)?
A system of school-based evaluation that continuously assesses students throughout the year across both scholastic (academic) and co-scholastic (personality, skills, attitudes) areas.
What this deck covers
The Pedagogy & Teaching Methodology deck follows the PPSC Educators Test Pedagogy & Teaching Methodology syllabus — 6 chapters and 15 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 9.8 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 171 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
