What Are My Multiple Choice Test Results Telling Me?
Program includes a CD with the audio presentation, plus supplemental materials, PowerPoint slides, and complete transcript • $99
It is easy to assume that multiple choice exams have little to offer beyond assigning grades. However, multiple choice tests can reveal quite a bit more than a simple letter grade. For example, by analyzing how many students got a particular answer wrong, teachers can determine how well the particular item worked and how their teaching related to this item is working.
In this program, Linda Suskie will draw on her expert knowledge of assessment to show you how to analyze individual test items so you can improve your test design skills as well as your teaching in general.
During this 20 minute program, you will:
- Learn how test results can be interpreted and summarized.
- Study test examples in learning how to apply the concepts discussed.
- Learn how individual test item results can have broader impact for test item design and teaching.
The program also includes supplemental materials that feature an item analysis of a 25 item midterm, examples of analyses of individual multiple choice items and recommended resources.
Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this program, you will be able to:
- Identify difficult test questions.
- Identify test questions that may have been confusing or misleading.
- Summarize multiple choice test results into a meaningful chart.
