LICENSURE EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS (LET)
PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REVIEWER
[SET 2 - PART 1]

1. Which assumption underlies the teacher's use of performance objectives?

A. Not every form of learning is observable.
B. Performance objectives assure the learrier of learning.
C. Learning is defined as a change in the learner's observable performance.
D. The success of learner is based on teacher performance.
Rationalization: C- Learning is defined as a change in the learner’s observable performance.
And also learning is “a process that leads to change, which occurs as a result of experience and
increases the potential for improved performance and future learning. The change in the
learner may happen at the level of knowledge, attitude or behavior.

2. In the parlance of test construction what does TOS mean?

A. Table of Specifics
B. Table of Specifications
C. Table of Specific Test Items
D. Team of Specifications
Rationalization: B- Table of Specification. The table of specifications (TOS) is a tool used to
ensure that a test or assessment measures the content and thinking skills that the test intends
to measure. Thus, when used appropriately, it can provide response content and construct (i.e.,
response process) validity evidence.

3. A student passes a research report poorly written but ornately presented in a folder to make
up for the poor quality of the book report content. Which Filipino trait does this practice prove?
Emphasis on __________.
A. art over academics
B. substance overporma
C. art over science
D. pormaover substance
Rationalization: D- pormaover substance. We Filipino emphasize form rather than substance
because we are just looking at the outer point of someone or something rather than looking at
the inner point of someone. The emphasis in our civilization and culture, unfortunately, has
increasingly fit one of form over substance: too often image and character count more than
truth. Humanity is so abstracted in their isolated competitions of personal interests and
enjoyment that other people have barely serve as tools for achieving it. Truth and integrity end
up seizing behind the seat to win.

4. In a criterion-referenced testing, what must you do to ensure that your test is fair?
A. Make all of the questions true or false.
B. Ask each student to contribute one question.
C. Make twenty questions but ask the students to answer only ten of their choice.
D. Use the objectives for the units as guide in your test construction.
Rationalization: D- Use the objectives for the units as guide in your test construction. Including
a variety of question types in an exam enables the test designer to better leverage the
strengths and overcome the weaknesses of any individual question type. Multiple choice
questions are popular for their versatility and efficiency, but many other question types can add
value to a test.

5. Which does Noam Chomsky, assert about language learning for children?
I. Young children learn and apply grammatical rules and vocabulary as they are exposed to
them.
II. Begin formal teaching of grammatical rules to children as early as possible.
III. Do not require initial formal language teaching for children.
A. I and III
B. II only
C. I only
D. I and II
Rationalization: D- Noam Chomsky believes that children are born with an inherited ability to
learn any human language. He claims that certain linguistic structures which children use so
accurately must be already imprinted on the child's mind. Chomsky concluded that children
must have an inborn faculty for language acquisition. According to this theory, the process is
biologically determined - the human species has evolved a brain whose neural circuits contain
linguistic information at birth.

6. Which Filipino trait works against the shift in teacher's role from teacher as a fountain of
information to teacher as
facilitator?
A. Authoritativeness
B. Authoritarianism
C. Hiya
D. Pakikisama
Rationalization: C- Hiya. The concept of ‘hiya’ is also one of the underpinning factors influencing
how Filipinos behave and interact with others. While hiya translates roughly into English as
‘shame’ or ‘embarrassment’, on a deeper level it refers to one’s sense of self, propriety and
respect. Filipinos may be more motivated to succeed by a fear of shame rather than fear of
failing the task at hand. To avoid experiencing shame, they may try to give face to those around
them through complimenting them and avoiding direct criticism. Individuals will often try to be
generous and hospitable to avoid hiya and to maintain kapwa.

A. do evaluate his students' work
B. do reciprocal teaching
C. lecture to his students
D. engage his students in convergent thinking

overcomes it, ask the class to think of as many solutions as possible. You can run this as a think-
pair-share activity. Specifically, students can individually think of solutions, pair with one
another to exchange ideas and then share these ideas with the class.

8. Who among the following needs less verbal counseling but needs more concrete and
operational forms of assistance? The child who __________.
A. has mental retardation
B. has attention-deficit disorder

however,

9. How would you select the most fit in government positions? Applying Confucius teachings,
which would be the answer?
A. By course accreditation of an accrediting body
B. By merit system and course accreditation
C. By merit system
D. By government examinations
Rationalization: C- by merit system. The merit system is the process of promoting and hiring
government employees based on their ability to perform a job, rather than on their political
connections. It is the opposite of the spoils system

A. Solitary and onlooker plays
B. Associative and cooperative plays
C. Associative and onlooker plays
D. Cooperative and solitary plays
Rationalization: B- Associative and Cooperative plays. Associative interactions occur when
children are sharing materials and interacting, but there is no distinguishable goal for the group.
Cooperative play the most complex of these social interactions involves children working
together with some sort of shared goal, rules, and/or organization.

A. it links the parts of the lesson
B. lt brings together the information that has been discussed

A. Combinatorial
B. Comparative
C. Part-whole
D. Sequence
Rationalization: C- Part-Whole. Whole-part-whole is an approach where learners are presented
with an overall picture of the skill or task they are trying to learn (in any of the skills), then focus
on the individual aspects or “parts” of that skill or task, and then return to the “whole” task and

be inferred from clues within the text.
15. Teacher E discussed how electricity flows through wires and what generates the electric
charge. Then she gave the students wires, bulbs, switches, and dry cells and told the class to
create a circuit that will increase the brightness of each bulb. Which one best describes the
approach used?
A. It used a taxonomy of basic thinking skills
B. It was constructivist
C. It helped students understand scientific methodology
D. It used cooperative learning
Rationalization: C- It helped students understand scientific methodology. Teaching students
about the scientific method helps prepare them to do science experiments and to design and
execute their own science fair projects to explore science questions. These four free plug-and-
play resources help you approach the scientific method with tools and learning aids that suit
the needs of your classroom.
