CRI Assessment & Evaluation Techniques 5

Question 1

A student claims they lost concentration during a test due to background noise. Which assessment principle should guide the CRI's response?

Accepted Answer

Evaluate whether test conditions met standardized environmental requirements before deciding on a retest

Answer

Standardized conditions are part of valid assessment; if conditions were not met, a retest under proper conditions may be warranted.

Question 2

Which feedback delivery method is most likely to promote a growth mindset in a struggling reporter student?

Accepted Answer

Providing specific, process-focused feedback that identifies what the student did well and what strategies to try next

Answer

Process-focused, specific feedback reinforces effort and strategy over innate ability, which is the foundation of a growth mindset.

Question 3

When evaluating a student's dictionary-building choices during a take, a CRI is assessing which competency?

Accepted Answer

Theory application and personal shorthand decision-making

Answer

Dictionary-building decisions reflect the student's application of steno theory and their judgment about efficient, accurate brief creation.

Question 4

A CRI notices that a student's accuracy drops significantly on takes administered later in a three-hour class session. This pattern most likely indicates:

Accepted Answer

Fatigue-related performance decline that should be addressed through stamina-building exercises and pacing strategies

Answer

Fatigue-related accuracy decline is a known issue in stenography training and requires both physical conditioning and strategic pacing.

Question 5

Which evaluation criterion is MOST important when assessing a student's untranslate rate?

Accepted Answer

Whether the untranslates reflect a pattern of missing briefs or theory gaps that can be remediated

Answer

Pattern analysis of untranslates distinguishes isolated gaps from systemic theory problems, guiding targeted remediation.
