In class and throughout the week we studied different assessments. Selected response assessment are multiple choice, binary choice and matching. Advantages in a multiple choice is broad sampling of knowledge , scoring is easy and objective, practice on items for high - stake state accountability tests, and more reliable and have more diagnostic power.
Guidelines for designing Multiple choice item are to write clear described question or task. Put as much info in stem instead of in response, use complete stems and short answer. When writing multiple choice write plausible but wrong distracting answers. Identify common misunderstandings or errors by students.
What are multiple choice questions good for? What knowledge do you get from these types of questions?
They are good for assessing declarative (facts) and procedural (how to) knowledge.
