Question

Help I have taken this test so many times : These tests are intended for master's and doctoral students. Read these directions carefully! The below test includes 10 questions, randomly selected from a large inventory. Most questions will be different each time you take the test, You must answer at least 9 out of 10 questions correctly to receive your Certificate. You have 40 minutes to complete each test, and you must answer all 10 questions in order to to see your results. If you do not pass this test in 40 minutes, you can begin a new test. Most people complete this test in less than 15 minutes. You only get 1 attempt to have each particular test evaluated (e.g., if you try using the Back button and change something, you will not get another evaluation for this test). If the student version contains BOTH word-for-word and paraphrasing plagiarism, you should select word-for-word. If you need help, see this document which provides criteria for determining plagiarism that are used in this test. Privacy notice: If you pass a test, unique information displayed on your Certificate is also stored in a secure location. Item 1 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version (written in 2002) We shall take the simpleminded view that a theory is just a model of the universe, or a restricted part of it, and a set of rules that relate quantities in the model to observations that we make. It exists only in our minds and does not have any other reality (whatever that might mean). A theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements. It must accurately describe a large class of observations on the basis of a model that contains only a few arbitrary elements, and it must make definite predictions about the results of future observations. References: Hawking, S., & Mlodinow, L. (2008). A briefer history of time (Reprint.). New York, NY: Bantam. Hawking and Mlodinow (2008) identify two requirements for evaluating the quality of a theory: (1) its ability to accurately describe what is observed based on the model associated with the theory; (2) its ability to make accurate predictions about what will be observed in the future. These two requirements form the basis for comparing one theory to another. References: Hawking, S., & Mlodinow, L. (2008). A briefer history of time (Reprint.). New York, NY: Bantam.

Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version Educational processes and systems are complex, and any attempt to measure them, especially at this level of aggregation, can only lead to broad and general discussions. However, we contend that this discussion is necessary. Further, attempting to measure global processes in education may provide another puzzle piece to theoreticians as well as national and local policy-makers, who are working at understanding and, in the latter case, steering educational systems. References: Rutkowski, L., & Rutkowski, D. (2009). Trends in TIMSS responses over time: Evidence of global forces in education? Educational Research and Evaluation, 15(2), 137-152. There are many factors that researchers and policy makers seeking to understand and/or direct educational systems must consider. Given the complexity of education, measurements based on aggregating a large amount of data preclude associated discussions from focusing on narrow and specific details.

Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version In examining the history of the visionary companies, we were struck by how often they made some of their best moves not by detailed strategic planning, but rather by experimentation, trial and error, opportunism, and--quite literally--accident. What looks in hindsight like a brilliant strategy was often the residual result of opportunistic experimentation and "purposeful accidents." References: Collins, J. C., & Porras, J. I. (2002). Built to last: Successful habits of visionary companies. New York, NY: Harper Paperbacks. The variety of projects that Google undertakes, from Internet search to cars that drive themselves, could be considered lack of focus. However, perhaps Google recognizes that successful moves that looked like the result of "a brilliant strategy was often the residual result of opportunistic experimentation" (Collins & Porras, 2002, p. 141).

Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version It is when all our forces can move freely in us. In nature, this quality is almost automatic, because there are no images to interfere with natural processes of making things. But in all of our creations, the possibility occurs that images can interfere with the natural, necessary order of a thing. And, most of all, this way that images distort the things we make, is familiar in ourselves. References: Alexander, C. (1979). The timeless way of building (Vol. 1). New York, NY: Oxford University Press USA. Is has been suggested that images have the potential to warp those things created by humans in ways that natural creations are not exposed to (Alexander, 1979). However, the boundary between human and natural creations can be fuzzy. For example, many breeds of dog are the result of intentional human intervention. Does this make them human creations?

Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version The philosophical position known as constructivism views knowledge as a human construction. The various perspectives within constructivism are based on the premise that knowledge is not part of an objective, external reality that is separate from the individual. Instead, human knowledge, whether the bodies of content in public disciplines (such as mathematics or sociology) or knowledge of the individual learner, is a human construction. References: Gredler, M. E. (2001). Learning and instruction: Theory into practice (4th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall. People have asked me about my philosophy of teaching and learning. I would associate myself with the philosophical stance called constructivism that sees knowledge as something constructed by people. Constructivism is founded on the idea that knowledge and truth does not come from an external reality that is objective and that exists apart from a person. I tried explaining constructivism to my brother and he thought the idea was crazy. References: Gredler, M. E. (2001). Learning and instruction: Theory into practice (4th ed.).

Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version Psychologists have found that people tend to forget that a head is just as likely to be followed by a head as by a tail; therefore they have too many reversals, and too few strings of heads, in their successive guesses. If a fair coin toss comes up heads thirty times in a row, the next toss is still equally likely to be heads or tails. References: Dixit, A. K., & Nalebuff, B. J. (1991). Thinking strategically: The competitive edge in business, politics, and everyday life. New York, NY: Norton. People aren't good at being random. When trying to mimic the results of repeatedly flipping a coin and recording heads or tails, people forget that "if a fair coin toss comes up heads thirty times in a row, the next toss is still equally likely to be heads or tails" and this results in people putting down "too many reversals, and too few strings of heads, in their successive guesses" (Dixit & Nalebuff, 1991, p. 184).

Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version It should be apparent that technology will play a crucial role in the success of the information-age paradigm of education. It will enable a quantum improvement in student learning, and likely at a lower cost per student per year than in the current industrial-age paradigm. Just as the electronic spreadsheet made the accountant's job quicker, easier, and less expensive, the kind of LMS described here will make the teacher's job quicker, easier, and less expensive.

Roles for technology in the information-age paradigm of education: Learning management systems. Educational Technology, 48(6), 32-39. It should be clear that teachers' jobs will change in several crucial ways in the near future. Increasing use of technology will hopefully make the teacher's job quicker, easier, and less expensive and lead to improved student learning (Reigeluth et al., 2008).

Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version (written in 2002) Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature--the pragmatic idealism--of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the "ticking clock" of a visionary company is a core ideology--core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money--that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time. References: Collins, J. C., & Porras, J. I. (2002). Built to last: Successful habits of visionary companies. New York, NY: Harper Paperbacks. Merck is one of world's biggest pharmaceutical companies. It originated in Germany late in the seventeenth century with operations in the United States starting in the late nineteenth century. As a business, Merck pursues profitable ventures; however, they have established an impressive track record of charitable giving with hundreds of millions in donations.

These were birds that helped each other in an apparently altruistic way, but refused to help - bore a grudge against - individuals that had previously refused to help them. Grudgers came to dominate the population because they passed on more genes to future generations than either Suckers (who helped others indiscriminately, and were exploited) or Cheats (who tried ruthlessly to exploit everybody and ended up doing each other down). References: Dawkins, R. (1989). The selfish gene (3rd ed.). Oxford, England: Oxford University Press. Dawkins (1989) provides the example of the Grudgers where three unique approaches to helping played out to ensure that "Grudgers", those birds that helped each other in an apparently altruistic way, but refused to help individuals that had previously refused to help them, came to outnumber both the so called "Cheats" or "Suckers".

While the question of how global processes influence all aspects of education (and who controls these forces) is multidimensional and not completely testable, there appear to be some theories of globalization as it relates to education that can be empirically examined. References: Rutkowski, L., & Rutkowski, D. (2009). Trends in TIMSS responses over time: Evidence of global forces in education? Educational Research and Evaluation, 15(2), 137-152. Rutkowski and Rutkowski (2009) ask "what are reasonable outcomes of the influence of global processes on education?" (p. 138). This question is not entirely testable and has multiple dimensions but theories of globalization's impact on education exist and provide means of empirical analysis.
