Praxis 5857 Practice Test Practice Question
As part of a battery of fitness tests, a physical education teacher measures a student's body mass index (BMI). She tells the female student that her BMI is in a healthy range. The teacher's statement is based on which of the following types of tests?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The teacher's statement about the student's BMI being in a healthy range is based on established health standards, making it a criterion-referenced test. This type of assessment measures performance against a specific set of criteria or standards, in this case, BMI thresholds for health.
Option A, task-referenced, focuses on performance related to specific tasks and does not apply to health standards. Option B, content-referenced, evaluates knowledge or skills in relation to content standards, which is not relevant here. Option C, norm-referenced, compares a student's performance to a group, rather than to a defined health criterion, making it unsuitable in this context.
