  1. What Elementary Teacher Made Tests Are Made Of… Constructing Objective Test Items: Simple Forms Linn and Gronlund Chap. 7

  2. A quick setup… • Chapter 6 was thinking through our test ahead of time… • Now we must construct • This is of utmost importance to validity. Bad questions that don’t measure what you are after make for an invalid test. • This is a skill that can be learned. • We’ll look at Short Answer, True-False, and Matching

  3. Short Answer • You give me some examples in the reading, math, science, and social studies… • Pluses • Easy to construct • Students supply the answer • Minuses • Can’t measure complex learning • What about spelling?

  4. Short Answer Suggestions • Be specific • Don’t copy lingo from the textbook • Ask a direct question, not an incomplete statement • Keep answer blanks the same length (maybe…) • Don’t overuse it… (too many blanks)

  5. True-False • The philosophy of dualism… • T-F, Y-N, F-O • And my favorite, T-F w/ replacement • Give me 4 examples

  6. The Good and the bad of T-F • Advantages (really?) • Ease of construction • Covers lots of materials • Disadvantages • Low level of Bloom • 50-50 chance… • Reliability is low, thus… • More questions • Not good to diagnose the learning…

  7. Suggestions from the book re: T-F • Don’t use broad statements, be specific • Don’t ask trivia. I mean this. • Don’t never use double negatives • Don’t get too complex • Keep ideas separate, one at a time • Careful with opinion • True statements are normally longer • Equal emphasis

  8. And finally matching… • I like the imperfect match • Our book likes the long-short • What are our options?

  9. Pluses and Minuses • Advantages • Compact, covers lots of stuff with ease • Easy to make, duh…, no duh… • Disadvantages • Rote learning • Finding homogenous material

  10. Suggestions with Matching… • Make sure the material is homogenous • Once, more than once, or not at all • Shorter is to the right, so says the book • Logical order of responses, don’t give it away… • Give directions for the children… • Use only 1 page…
