T&m test 4
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which testing format is classified as “objective” because scoring does not require judgment? | multiple choice |
| In a multiple-choice item, the stem should primarily function as | the question or problem to be answered |
| The keyed response in an MC item refers to: | the correct option |
| What is the primary purpose of distractors? | To differentiate students who understand the content from those who do not |
| Current evidence-based recommendations suggest how many effective distractors per item? | 2-3 |
| Strong stems should | Be complete thoughts written clearly |
| What does it mean for items to be independent? | No item reveals the answer to another |
| Matching items are best described as | Stems in one column and answers in another |
| A recommended practice when constructing matching items is: | Provide more answer choices than stems |
| Matching difficulty increases when | Some options are reused |
| A unique guideline for matching items is | Keep the content in each list homogeneou |
| A drawback of using negative wording in stems is: | It can cause misinterpretation |
| Item analysis is used to examine | How each option performs statistically |
| Which item type carries the highest probability of correct guessing? | True/False |
| One way to reduce the effect of guessing on T/F items is to | Increase the total number of T/F questions |
| A well-constructed T/F item should | Communicate one idea clearly |
| Fill-in-the-blank items are most effective when | the blank appears at the end with one correct answer expected |
| A “supply item” is | A short-answer or completion item |
| Reliability for objective tests is improved through | Conducting statistical review of item performance |
| A limitation of objective tests for evaluating deep understanding is that they | Emphasize recognition rather than complex reasoning |
| The first step in constructing a psychological scale is to | Specify the construct precisely |
| The purpose of scale development is to: | Accurately measure an underlying construct |
| A Likert scale typically uses | Ordered categories representing degree of agreement |
| In traditional Likert methods, each item | Contributes equally to the total score |
| A major critique of the Likert format is that | Equal weights may distort actual differences in intensity |
| Thurstone scaling assigns weights based on: | Judges rating item intensity |
| A strength of the Thurstone approach is | It approximates interval measurement |
| Respondents in a Thurstone scale typically | Mark agreement with pre-weighted statements |
| A pilot sample is used to: | Test the quality and clarity of items before full use |
| In survey validation, a “criterion” or comparison item is | A known measure used to test validity |
| Social Exchange Theory suggests survey responses increase when | Rewards are high and perceived burden is low |
| A perceived reward for survey participation includes | Relevance, appreciation, or incentives |
| To keep perceived cost low, surveys should | Be brief and easy to complete |
| Anonymity helps survey responding because it: | Increases trust and honest reporting |
| One practice that increases survey data quality is: | Normalizing sensitive topics |
| Likert formats measure | Ordinal responses |
| A test with all “true” answers risks: | Encouraging patterned guessing |
| Best practice recommends that T/F items be | Roughly balanced |
| A set of short-answer items is considered | Supply-based |
| Survey scales allow researchers to | Combine related responses into a single composite score |
| Objective test items always guarantee high validity. True or False? | false |
| Short-answer items usually test complex reasoning skills. True or False? | false |
| Matching stems should not be broader than answer options. True or False? | true |
| Using many weak distractors is better than using fewer strong ones. True or False? | false |
| Negative stems often reduce clarity and are discouraged. True or False? | true |
| Thurstone scaling offers greater statistical interpretability than basic Likert formats. True or False? | true |
| In Likert scales, each item generally has a different weight. True or False? | false |
| Effective surveys require clarity and contextual framing. True or False? | true |
| Incentives can raise survey participation rates. True or False? | true |
| Matching lists should mix multiple topics to challenge students. True or False? | false |
