...Final Exam: Outcomes Assessment Essay Mary Smith July 4, 2010 Dr. Marsha Riggio - Instructor Strayer University Final Exam: Outcomes Assessment Essay Quote #0 – Peter (sample for you, so delete this when done) Psychological Concepts in Quote Peter’s quote describes how his Uncle Tex reacted to learning that he had a terminal illness. This relates to the stages of dying proposed by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. When Tex first gets the news, he refuses to acknowledge the situation, which corresponds to Kubler-Ross’s stage of “Denial”. Later, Tex becomes very difficult, lashing out at his family, which corresponds to Kubler-Ross’s stage of “Anger”. Thus, Peter’s description of Tex’s experience goes along with the first two of Kubler-Ross’s stages of dying. General Perspective of the Concept Kubler-Ross’s stages of dying theory falls under the general perspective of developmental approaches to psychology. Like several other developmental theories, it is a stage theory. Kubler-Ross proposes that there are five stages to the process of dying: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. This is a true stage theory which holds that persons go through this series of stages in this particular order. At first, the dying person tries to evade the reality of the diagnosis (denial). As the reality of the diagnosis sinks in, the dying person tends to lash out at family and caregivers (anger). Subsequently, the dying person develops the hope that death can...

...After reading the fictional narrative about Glen I notice three concepts about psychology and they are adrenaline, anal stage and evolutionary psychology. The adrenaline closely connected to important regions of the brain that pay a role in emotion with Glen’s personal life having difficulty forming lasting intimate relationships. Anal stage is response to efforts by parents to toilet train their children. Evolutionary psychology is one major reason for this shift in opinion is the development and rapid growth of the new field that Glen took on during his adult life. The first concept is adrenaline. Hormones that help the body handle emergencies by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and sugar in the blood. Its part of the endocrine system and associated with humanistic theories. Humanistic theories are theories of personality emphasizing personality responsibility and innate tendencies toward personal growth. When it was time for Glen to speak at regional meetings of his company he can feel his adrenaline rush going through his body that cause un excessive sweating and his heart would be pounding. After he finally notice this happening he than turn to medication that would put the stop on his sympathetic nervous system. Which means this system prepares the body for using energy, as in vigorous physical actions that Glen was feeling.

Explain how to plan for assessment; 4. Describe types of assessment in the classroom; 5. Explain what is teacher-made tests; 6. Describe what is standardized tests; and 7. Explain what is authentic assessment. 254 CHAPTER 10 CHAPTER 10 l CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION One of the most basic and difficult task that teachers face in their work is the process of assessment. Classroom assessment includes all the process involved in making decisions about students learning progress. It includes the observation of students’ written work, their answers to questions in class, and performance on teacher-made and standardized tests. According to (Koyalik, 2002 as cited in Eggen & Kauchak, 2004): i. It facilitates teachers in decision making about learning progress through systematic information gathering. Besides that, assessment also accomplishes two other important goals; increasing learning and increasing motivation. The relationship between learning and assessment is very strong. Students learn more in classes where assessment is an integral part of instruction than in those where it isn’t. Brief assessment that provides frequent feedback about learning progress is more effective than long, infrequent ones, like once-a-term tests. 255 255 CLASSROOM...
