Frank Feudel; Alexander Unger – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In tertiary mathematics courses, students often have difficulties acquiring an understanding of the mathematical concepts covered. One approach to address this problem is to implement so-called Concept-Tests. These are multiple-choice questions whose distractors represent common problems and misconceptions related to the concepts. While there…

McGuire, Michael J. – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2023
College students in a lower-division psychology course made metacognitive judgments by predicting and postdicting performance for true-false, multiple-choice, and fill-in-the-blank question sets on each of three exams. This study investigated which question format would result in the most accurate metacognitive judgments. Extending Koriat's (1997)…

Balta, Nuri; Japashov, Nursultan; Glamocic, Džana Salibašic; Mešic, Vanes – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
In this paper, we described the development of the High School Wave Optics Test (HSWOT). Firstly, 56 conceptual, multiple-choice items with a single correct answer and three distractors were created. Next, we conducted an initial review of the items which resulted in reducing the item pool to 44 highest quality items. Validity evidence and…

Corrin Moss; Scott P. Ardoin; Joshua A. Mellott; Katherine S. Binder – Grantee Submission, 2023
The current study investigated the impact of manipulating reading strategy, reading the questions first (QF) or the passage first (PF), during a reading comprehension test, and we explored how reading strategy was related to student characteristics. Participants' eye movements were monitored as they read 12 passages and answered multiple-choice…

Lee, Ng Wen; Shamsuddin, Wan Noor Farah Wan; Wei, Lim Chia; Anuardi, Muhammad Nur Adilin Mohd; Heng, Chan Swee; Abdullah, Ain Nadzimah – International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education, 2021
Criticisms on multiple choice questions (MCQs) include the possibility of students answering MCQs correctly by guessing, and MCQs generally are said to fall short in cultivating independent learning skills, such as taking charge of their learning goals. Countering these common concerns, this research used online MCQ exercises with multiple…

Yang, Dazhi; Streveler, Ruth; Miller, Ronald L.; Senocak, Inanc; Slotta, Jim – Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Background: Chi and colleagues have argued that some of the most challenging engineering concepts exhibit properties of emergent systems. However, students often lack a mental framework, or schema, for understanding emergence. Slotta and Chi posited that helping students develop a schema for emergent systems, referred to as schema training, would…

Deliu, Gabriela; Miron, Cristina; Opariuc-Dan, Cristian – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2019
The aim of this research is to study the merits and complementarity of Construct Mapping and Categorical Principal Components Analysis as two approaches that explore the dimensionality of multiple-choice items in achievement tests. Data from the two forms of the Romanian National Assessment Tests on Science were used to explore the dimensionality…

Asquith, Steven – TESL-EJ, 2022
Although an accurate measure of vocabulary size is integral to understanding the proficiency of language learners, the validity of multiple-choice (M/C) vocabulary tests to determine this has been questioned due to users guessing correct answers which inflates scores. In this paper the nature of guessing and partial knowledge used when taking the…

Lee, Abby Deng-Huei – English Language Teaching, 2018
To evaluate the sensitivity of multiple-choice cloze (MCC) tests that use different types of items--syntactic, semantic, and connective--to assess reading ability, 170 English as a foreign language (EFL) students in a vocational college in Taiwan were recruited. The students were divided into two groups (level A and level B) based on their scores…

Özdemir, Ezgi Çetinkaya; Akyol, Hayati – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2019
Reading comprehension has an important place in lifelong learning. It is an interactive process between the reader and the text. Students need reading comprehension skills at all educational levels and for all school subjects. Determining the level of students' reading comprehension skills is the subject of testing and evaluation. Tests used to…

Fukuzawa, Sherry; deBraga, Michael – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2019
Graded Response Method (GRM) is an alternative to multiple-choice testing where students rank options according to their relevance to the question. GRM requires discrimination and inference between statements and is a cost-effective critical thinking assessment in large courses where open-ended answers are not feasible. This study examined…
