I prefer fill-in-the-blank questions over multiple choice. I've found they increase student knowledge retention instead of having a 25% chance at guessing the correct answer and walk away learning less.
Different style questions are needed to see mastery of lessons. Wording of the questions can make the question easier or harder to answer. Some questions that are not thought out can be answered by simply using prior knowledge and not what was taught in a lesson.
I don't remember doing analogies in school so when I took the Millers Analogy test I was not prepared.
Post True/False questions as positives. Instead of saying "did not win" say "won".
This module explained how to properly assess student's knowledge by using a variety of methods such as true/false and matching.
Automotive technology tests are designed after the ASE certification exams. True/false and multiple choice questions, with a Tech A/Tech B states approach. Students have to decide which statements from two different Tech's are correct. This form of testing prepares them for the certification exams.
I primarily use multiple-choice questions that are very carefully worded.
During our Adobe Certification testing the students are a multiple choice test portion and a skills portion of the test. I think this gives students a chance to express their skills in both ways of testing.
I learned how to measure student mastery.
Fill in the blank is a good method.
Multiple choice is reliable if constructed well
When evaluating students mastery of content, I ask open ended questions to allow students to provide me as much information as possible. This allows me to guide them into the desired information.
Essay questions can be written so as to focus on a specific principle or circumstance. I have to argee with this statement.
In our medical class we take different practice practice exams. The exams are taken through out the course to see if they are able to make good nursing judgement to pass the State exam .
Learned different methods in testing students knowledge . I am a fan of multiple choice and true and false
Measuring students levels of learning, I like multiple choice questions and Fill in the blanks. I learned the importance of the stem and the alternative when formulating good questions for your students.
I really enjoy having my students working and creating projects or scerinos.
I include diverse types of questions and organize the quizzes or tests in blocks. It helps the students orient themsleves better thoughout the process. They know that the degree of the sophistication and comprihension increases as they move to the end.
I learned how and when to use specific method in test development to evaluate the mastery level of the students on the chosen topics.
I am not a fan of true and false, beind dyslexic myself. Those questions I would have to read and re-read to make sure I was getting what was being asked, it would eat up my time on a timed exam. Essay is also not as far, some students vocabulary is not as large.
It was interesting having all the different types of questions that can be used to assess student's knowledge. I think it is better to use at least two different types of questions on exams.
