Chapter 1: The Sociological Perspective
In this revision of the test bank, I have updated all of the questions to reflect changes in Sociology, 17 th
edition. The questions are tagged to indicate one of four levels of learning that move from lower-level to higher-level cognitive reasoning. The four levels are: Remember the Facts: a question involving recall of key terms or factual material Understand the Concepts: a question testing comprehension of more complex ideas Apply What You Know: a question applying sociological knowledge to some new situation Analyze It: a question requiring identifying elements of an argument and their interrelationship The 182 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 “Remember the Facts” questions, and all of them fall within the lowest three levels of cognitive reasoning (“Remember the Facts,” “Understand the Concepts,” and “Apply What You Know”). Multiple-choice questions span a broader range of skills (most are “Remember the Facts” 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 include the highest levels of cognitive reasoning.Types of Questions True/False Mult Choice Short Answer Essay Total Qs Remember the Facts
