Asymmetry in student achievement on multiple-choice and constructed-response items in reversible mathematics processes

In this paper we report the results of an experiment designed to test the hypothesis that when faced with a question involving the inverse direction of a reversible mathematical process, students solve a multiple-choice version by verifying the answers presented to them by the direct method, not by undertaking the actual inverse calculation. Participants responded to an online test containing e...

on the equivalence of constructed-response and multiple-choice : stem-equivalent, stem non-equivalent but content equivalent, and stem and content non-equivalent items in reading comprehension using multifaceted rasch

the present study investigated construct equivalence of multiple choice (mc) and constructed response (cr) item types across stem and content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘a’), non-stem-equivalent but content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘b’), and non-stem and non-content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘c’). one hundred seventy english-major undergraduates completed mc ...

Automated Scoring of Constructed-Response Literacy and Mathematics Items

modularity of reading comprehension in multiple-choice cloze procedure and reliability fluctuation

هدف این رساله تحقیق در مورد یافتن ارتباط بین واحدهای درک مطلب (از قبیل پروسه واژگانی، پروسه ساختاری و پروسه تفسیر معنایی) از طریق تست کلوز چهار چوابی در بین دانشجویان سال آخر رشته زبان انگلیسی میباشد. در مرحله اول از 150 دانشجو (80 مونث و 70 مذکر) از بین دانشجویان کارشناسی و کارشناسی ارشد دانشگاههای علامه طباطبائی، دانشگاه شهید بهشتی و دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد شمال تست نلسون (450 دی) گرفته شد. ...

Chapter 1: International Student Achievement in Mathematics

Exhibit 1.1 shows the distribution of student achievement for the participants in TIMSS 2007, including the average (mean) scale score with its 95 percent confidence interval and the ranges in performance for the middle half of the students (25th to 75th percentiles) as well as the extremes (5th and 95th percentiles). The first page of Exhibit 1.1 presents the distribution for the achievement f...
