Foundations of Educations DSST

[Mister B.]

OK, I'm going to update this thread, cause it NEEDS one:

First and foremost, I was right in my last post: because this is a Dantes Exam, this test is scored out of 400, so be wary of that. I don't really know what that means in terms of right answers needed to pass. It's out of 100 questions.

Secondly, while the ICP flashcards and the review on the thread (and it IS there, just search for it using "foundations of education" in the advanced search box) was extremely helpful (I also bought a DSST exam book from Mometrix), there was a TON of things on the test I had never seen before:

Intellectual design and its relation to Creationism/Religion
The relationship of Darwinism to teachers
John Scopes
Parochial school
Cyber school (advantages)
What corporation is the biggest contributor to education globally
What two theories see IQ as more hereditary
National Board of Professional Teaching Standards
Thomas Jefferson's "Bill for More General Diffusion of Knowledge"

Things I didn't see:
Committee of 10
Cardinal Rules
Bloom, Maslow, or Erikson's theories

In addition, things that weren't expressed on other people's test came up in bulk on mine:
No Child Left Behind was all over this test
Much more court cases than just Plessy v. Ferg & Brown v. Board of Ed (I could swore Hernandez v. Texas was one)
Know disabled children in-and-out
A lot of questions on Native Americans (I remember at least four)


Look, I'm not saying the info given in that thread wasn't useful - it was. But for the updated version on this test, you're going to have to dig deeper in education for this one. Oh, yeah....ELIMINATION of asnwers is your greatest ally on this test


All that being said.....I got 402. Passed by the hairs of my chinny chin-chin, so I'm with it!
