MTLE Pedagogy Elementary (Grades K-6) - Free Test Sample Questions

The Know-Want to Know-Learned strategy was founded by Ogle, in 1986.  This is a self assessment, completed in chart form by each student in the class.  Which of the below statements does not reflect the purpose of the use of this technique?





Correct Answer:
common core standards, as set forth in legislation, requires that students of elementary age, be able to perform these types of self assessments when preparing to read a book.
the know-want to know-learned (kwl) strategy, developed by donna ogle in 1986, is a learning tool designed to help students organize information before, during, and after a learning activity. in this approach, students fill out a chart with three columns titled "know", "want to know", and "learned". this method serves several educational purposes, including activating prior knowledge, setting learning goals, and reflecting on what has been learned.

among the statements provided, the one that does not reflect the purpose of the kwl technique is the repeated assertion that "common core standards, as set forth in legislation, requires that students of elementary age, be able to perform these types of self assessments when preparing to read a book." this statement is incorrect as the common core state standards do not explicitly mandate the use of specific strategies like the kwl chart. the common core emphasizes skills such as critical thinking, reasoning, and the ability to gather, evaluate, and use information effectively. while the kwl strategy can support these goals by fostering critical thinking and self-assessment, its use is not a direct requirement of the common core.

the other statements correctly describe the benefits of the kwl strategy. they highlight how the strategy helps students access their existing knowledge, provides motivation for reading, encourages self-assessment skills, sets a purpose for reading, and prepares students for more advanced metacognitive techniques. these are all aligned with the intended outcomes of using the kwl chart in educational settings.

thus, the statement about the common core mandating the use of self-assessments such as the kwl chart does not correctly reflect the purpose of this technique. it is more accurate to describe the kwl strategy as a beneficial educational tool that aligns with broader educational goals, including those of the common core, rather than a specific requirement.
