Homeschooling

1. Homeschooling is the education of children at home, typically by parents or by tutors, rather than in other formal settings of public or private school. Although prior to the introduction of compulsory school attendance laws, most childhood education occurred within the family or community, homeschooling in the modern sense is an alternative in developed countries to attending public or private schools.

2. Homeschooling is a legal option for parents in many countries, allowing them to provide their children with a learning environment as an alternative to public or private schools outside the individual’s home. Parents cite numerous reasons as motivations to homeschool their children. The three reasons that are selected by the majority of homeschooling parents in the United States are concern about the school environment, to provide religious or moral instruction, and dissatisfaction with academic instruction at public and private schools.

3. As a synonym to e-learning, homeschooling can be used as a form of supplementary education, a way of helping children learn, in specific circumstances. For instance, children that attend downgraded schools can greatly benefit from homeschooling ways of learning, using the immediacy and low cost of the Internet. Homeschooling can be combined with traditional education and lead to better and more complete results.

Cognitive psychology

1. Cognitive psychology is a discipline within psychology that investigates the internal mental processes of thought such as visual processing, memory, problem solving, and language. The school of thought arising from this approach is known as cognitivism which is interested in how people mentally represent information processing.

2. Cognitive psychologists use psychophysical and experimental approaches to understand, diagnose, and solve problems, concerning themselves with the mental processes which mediate between stimulus and response.

3. Cognitive science differs from cognitive psychology in that algorithms that are intended to simulate human behavior are implemented or implementable on a computer. In other instances, solutions may be found through insight, a sudden awareness of relationships.

 

1. Определите, какое утверждение соответствует содержанию текста. Выберите не менее двух вариантов

A standardized test

1. A standardized test or Examination system is a test that is administered and scored in a consistent, or «standard», manner. Standardized tests are designed in such a way that the questions, conditions for administering, scoring procedures, and interpretations are consistent and are administered and scored in a predetermined, standard manner.

2. Any test in which the same test is given in the same manner to all test takers is a standardized test. Standardized tests need not be high-stakes tests, time-limited tests, or multiple-choice tests. The opposite of a standardized test is a non-standardized test. Non-standardized testing gives significantly different tests to different test takers, or gives the same test under significantly different conditions (e.g., one group is permitted far less time to complete the test than the next group), or evaluates them differently (e.g., the same answer is counted right for one student, but wrong for another student).

3. Standardized tests are perceived as being fairer than non-standardized tests. The consistency also permits more reliable comparison of outcomes across all test takers. The considerations of validity and reliability typically are viewed as essential elements for determining the quality of any standardized test

 

1. Определите, какое утверждение соответствует содержанию текста. Укажите один вариант ответа

o The time, test type and test outcomes are no less important for standardized test-takers as for those who do non-standardized tests.

o At non-standardized testing test takers are given to do different kinds of tests under comparatively similar conditions.

o Non-standardized testing shows more trustworthy results of an each test-taker due to subjective conditions of the test taking procedure.

o Consistency in the questions, conditions for administering, scoring procedures, and interpretations in standardized testing provides more reliable outcomes.

2. Завершите утверждение согласно содержанию текста. The key qualifying criteria of standardized tests are... Укажите один вариант ответа

o consistent scoring procedures

o objectivity and consistency

o conditions for administering

o validity and reliability

3. Ответьте на вопрос: What unites standardized tests and non- standardized ones? Укажите один вариант ответа

o Both of them reveal test-takers’ achievements in a test manner.

o Both of them are given to test-takers for a certain period of time.

o Both of them are designed for the same purposes.

o Both of them control test-takers in the same way.

4. Определите основную идею текста. Укажите один вариант ответа

o Standardized tests are designed in a standard manner: the questions, conditions for administering, scoring procedures, and interpretations are consistent.

o Non-standardized tests are of different contents for all test takers as well as time- limited, so all test takers are evaluated in different ways.

o Standardized testing allows getting more reliable comparison of outcomes across all test takers, standardized tests being more favourable among them.

o Standardized tests and non-standardized ones are quite different types of testing, the former being considered to be more reliable due to its educational design purposes.
