FTCE Professional Education Practice Exam

What does a low quiz score compared to reading accuracy indicate about student engagement with the material?

1. Effective learning

2. Inconsistent comprehension

3. Positive retention

4. High motivation

The correct answer is: Inconsistent comprehension

A low quiz score in relation to reading accuracy suggests that, while a student may be able to read the material fluently, they are struggling to comprehend or grasp the key concepts presented. This discrepancy implies that their understanding of the material is inconsistent. For example, the student might be able to decode the text but not connect with or retain the information, resulting in a poor performance on the assessment. Consequently, it indicates a need for additional support or intervention to bridge the gap between reading ability and comprehension, rather than suggesting effective learning, positive retention, or high motivation. These factors typically correlate with better quiz performance and a solid understanding of the material.
