Why choose one assessment method over another? What might be the challenges of the assessment method you chose? There are a variety of factors to consider when selecting an assessment method. What might be the benefits of an essay test over a multiple-choice test? Are you evaluating a student’s ability to retain facts or apply concepts and principles? These are only a few of the possible areas of assessment you might choose when selecting an assessment method. In this week’s Assignment, you will add an example of some methods of testing to your Teaching Portfolio. Consider the strategies discussed this week as you develop your exam and prepare the correct responses.

For this Teaching Portfolio Assignment, review and study this week’s Learning Resources, including Griggs’s Psychology: A Concise Introduction textbook to help in the selection of your assignment topic. Select a new topic or use the topic you selected in Week 4 as the focus of an exam that you will design for “your” introductory psychology class.

Assignment (5 pages, APA format where appropriate)

Your exam must include the following:

  • An explanation of the topic you selected, referencing the chapter in the Griggs Psychology: A Concise Introduction textbook you consulted
  • Five multiple-choice questions (identify the correct answer with boldface type)
  • Three fill-in the blank prompts (include the correct response in boldface type following the question)
  • One essay question (include, in boldface type, a list of elements that you will be looking for as you grade).
  • A determination of points for each of your questions and a calculation of the percentage for each question of the total 100% available. For example, if your multiple-choice questions are worth 10 points each and there are 100 points available in the test, one multiple-choice question is worth 10/100 = 0.10, or 10% of the total 100%.

· Reflect on and explain how your personal beliefs about contraception and abortion might influence a counseling session.

Learning Objective: Describe the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

Allport’s Dimensions of Maturity

Read about the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

The purpose of this journal is to examine Allport’s dimensions of maturity. There are many tasks that are accomplished in early adulthood including the establishment of an intimate relationship, the beginnings of family, and the decision about careers. One of the tasks that deserves attention is maturity. Most of the traditional-aged students in your classes, your peers, (i.e., late adolescence and early adulthood) are currently working on these dimensions in their own lives.

Some areas will demand their undivided attention; others can be worked on in concert.

Allport’s dimensions of maturity are described below:

  • Extension of self is doing something for its own sake, not because others want you to or because it is expected of you.
  • Relating warmly to others is developing intimate relations and displaying compassion.
  • Emotional security is:
  • accepting emotional responses without letting them take control
  • an ability to handle high levels of stress
  • control over emotional expression
  • Realistic perception is perceiving situations accurately.
  • Possession of skills and competencies is being aware of skills and displaying pride in personal abilities.
  • Knowledge of the self is:
  • knowing what one can do
  • knowing what one cannot do
  • knowing what one ought to do
  • Establishing a unifying philosophy of life is finding a guiding purpose, establishing ideals, identifying needs, developing goals, and adopting values.

The purpose of this exercise is to recognize the significance of the period of transition from high school to college. There are both positive and negative experiences related to this time in life. It is often a time of newfound independence, setting adolescents on the path toward true adulthood; yet, today’s college freshmen report being more stressed and depressed than those from the 1980s (Santrock & Halonen, 1999).

Think about your transition from high school to college. How did your life circumstances change? How prepared did you feel going into this new phase of your life? How prepared did you discover you actually were? In what ways did you meet your expectations for success on your own, and in what ways did you discover that you needed guidance? How are you faring now? What has been the most significant change, and what is the most significant lesson you have learned in this time period? What were some markers that you felt like an adult? Does your current life meet the criteria for adulthood?
