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

 Comprehensiveness
