Loved the Tips given for each type of question, along with the benefits of using that type of question on an assessment.
In this module, I learned how to better understand the reasons for selecting the various types of questions, evaluations and tips for constructing questions within each type. As well as how they compare and contrast to one another.
Great information. New to me, however, makes sense on tailoring your test to the blooms level and the testing required to assess the students knowledge.
This module emphasized the importance of designing clear, relevant, and varied assessments that align with course objectives. I plan to use a mix of question types to assess both factual knowledge and higher-order thinking while customizing standardized tests to fit my teaching approach.
Testing is done in a verity of ways and the content taught in class should be reflective on the test.
It is essential to use both subjective and objective assessment methods to ensure the student's understanding of the content. These assessment methods contain different types of questions to ask.
In a CTE setting skills tests help prepare students for real word testing in their career field.
A better understanding of the different types of test and how they compare and contrast.
Ther are a number of different type of tests. Depending on what type of knowledge you are trying to test for will determine what test type you use. Multiple choice questions will give you a larger range of answers and subjects but allows for more guessing. Where essays will give you more problem and critical thinking answers. True/false can give student some trouble.
I've learned that having multiple types of test helps with different learning types, also that using different types helps students learn.
i gained some knowledge on how and when certain test questions should be used. i also learned that the test should also reflect what you want the students to take away from the content.
Completion tests are the best because they make students read and respond to blank questions with the facts not guess work.
Usind different kinds of tests is an important way to assess learning
I've learned about subjective and objective test taking delivery methods.
The tips and tricks were especially helpful. It is good to know the pros and cons of each testing method. From the students' perspective, having a balance of testing methods taps into the ways they learn best.
using different testing techniques will help students understand and retain the knowledge better.
Essay questions require more effort from the students than other types of questions. They test for critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Very helpful for optimizing testing. Its interesting to learn/relearn some facts about different testing modalities
Learning about the advantages and disadvantages of each type of assessment.
In my situation, we have a standardized pre-test and a standardized post-test (summative). They are the same test and it is multiple choice. The program I teach has eight classes and I have 1000 students a year, so testing on every class or section would be very cumbersome. I think formative assessments would be better suited for my situation, i.e. short quizzes or even just an informal review of the previous classes.
