Open-response items
This section of the test consists of two open-response item assignments and is intended to assess subject knowledge in the Integration of Knowledge and Understanding subarea. You will be asked to prepare a written response of approximately 150-300 words for each assignment. You should use your time to plan, write, review, and edit your response for each assignment.
As a whole, your response to each assignment must demonstrate an understanding of the knowledge of the field. In your response to each assignment, you are expected to demonstrate the depth of your understanding of the subject area by applying your knowledge rather than by merely reciting factual information. Your response to each assignment will be evaluated based on the following criteria.
- Purpose: the extent to which the response achieves the purpose of the assignment
- Subject Knowledge: appropriateness and accuracy in the application of subject knowledge
- Support: quality and relevance of supporting evidence
- Rationale: soundness of argument and degree of understanding of the subject area
Your responses must be communicated clearly enough to permit valid judgment of the evaluation criteria by scorers. Your responses should be written for an audience of educators in this field. The final version of each response should conform to the conventions of edited American English. Your responses should be your original work, written in your own words, and not copied or paraphrased from some other work. Be sure to write about the assigned topics and remember to review your work and make any changes you think will improve your responses.
No worries. We've got several open-response items in the test prep that mimic the type of questions and scenarios you will most likely encounter in the real exam, each listing sample responses fully written and scored from 4 (strong response) to 1 (very weak response) that show you how you should write your responses to both assignments based on the criteria that you will be evaluated in the real exam:
