ivPREFACEContents:About the Nelson Education Teaching AdvantageAccessing Your Cognero Test BankABOUT THE NELSON EDUCATION TEACHING ADVANTAGE (NETA)In mostpost-secondary courses, a large percentage ofstudent assessment is based on multiple-choice testing.Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly,believing that it is a methodology best used for testingwhat a studentremembersrather than what she or he haslearned.Nelson Education Ltd.understandsthat a good quality multiple-choice test bank canprovidethe means to measurehigher-level thinkingskills as wellas recall. Recognizing theimportance of multiple-choice testing in today’s classroom,we havecreatedNETA—theNelsonEducationTeachingAdvantage program—to ensure thevalue of ourhighqualitytestbanks.TheNETAprogramwas created in partnership with David DiBattista,a 3M National TeachingFellow,professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiple-choice testing. NETA ensures thatsubject-matter experts who author test bankshave hadtraining in two areas: avoiding common errors intestconstruction, anddevelopingmultiple-choice test questions that “get beyond remembering” to assess higher-level thinking.All NETA testbanks include David DiBattista’s guide for instructors, “Multiple Choice Tests:Getting Beyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nelsontest banks to achieve your desired outcomes inyourcourse.The Test Bank forMowen,Cornerstones of Managerial Accounting,Second Canadian Edition,has been revised for Canadian students byLinda Lindsay, University of Lethbridge.Themultiple-choice questions were written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, whichemphasize the development of higher-order thinking and the effective construction ofquestions. NETA principles of question construction help eliminate ambiguity, arguableanswers, guesswork, and unconscious cues to test-savvy students, resulting in a test thataccurately reflects student understanding.The Test Bank offers overmultiple choice, about[insert number]true/false, andproblems.
