ITEM ANALYSIS: ITEM UNIQUENESS
(Trick Questions, Common
Knowledge Responses, Matching Material, Redundancy, Medium of Response) TRICK QUESTIONS
These questions aim to challenge students'
thinking by presenting information in a surprising or clever way. Each trick question is crafted to be different from standard questions, sparking curiosity and engagement among students. EXAMPLE: "What starts with 'e', ends with 'e', and only contains one letter?"
(Answer: An envelope) COMMON KNOWLEDGE RESPONSES
Questions that test students on facts or
information widely known or easily found. While straightforward, unique phrasing or context can keep these questions interesting and ensure they test specific learning objectives effectively. EXAMPLE: "Who invented the light bulb?"
(Answer: Thomas Edison)
MATCHING MATERIAL
Questions where students match items from
one list to another based on their relationships. The combinations chosen can vary, ensuring each question tests a unique set of knowledge or skills. EXAMPLE: Match the literary work with its author: (A) "To Kill a Mockingbird" (B) "1984" (C) "Pride and Prejudice" REDUNDANCY Repeating similar questions or concepts within a test or across assessments. While repetition can be useful for reinforcement, too much can reduce the overall uniqueness and engagement of an assessment. EXAMPLE:
Asking multiple questions on the
same historical event but from different perspectives. MEDIUM OF RESPONSE
How students respond to questions, such as
multiple-choice, short answer, or interactive formats. Different response formats can make assessments more engaging and cater to different learning styles. EXAMPLE:
Using interactive simulations or
multimedia tools to answer science or math problems. BENEFITS OF UNIQUE ITEMS IN EDUCATION
