no one was used to like to talk about a recent study on this test
conducted by a group of researchers and published psychological journal in two thousand and twelve
first let's take a look i one drop the need for this study one was
conducted
this is why
the widely used one twist has to know exactly how good reputation
and that sort of the present system is the claim that multiple choice test we
focus on recognition processes
essentially this means that all do is a learner is to recognize the right answer
which is over display
thus there is no need for you to exercise in mental effort by retreating pertinent
information from every which is necessary to recall
or to figure out and
articulate the correct answer
so the researchers wanted to find out do multiple choice test focus on recognition process
is only
i inferior to huge recall task or otherwise no
as short answer test
to trigger productive retrieval processes
to answer this question is a conducted two experiments
experiment one so to assess the of an initial you recall tennis and initial multiple
choice test all the participants performance what of a test
the final test contain questions identical to those used in the initial test for control
items
and i will use your items and questions interchangeably
the final test also contained
i discovery we contact
so what were the results
the results that initial test indicated that first but number of correct answers for the
multiple choice test was larger than those given for the q recall test
secondly that
initial multiple choice test improved lead to recall of the tested information more that the
initial huge recall test
furthermore the results like a test indicated that when participants to initial you recall task
the one test performance only related items
was worse than that on your
corresponding control
but when participants to an initial multiple choice test
final test performance on related items with higher than that on your corresponding control items
experiment two was
identical to experiment one except for one and condition
the artist or we see
in the right answer to each class to test
here was to assess how feedback on an initial multiple choice test
in a lot of attention really information
so what the results
well that was provided for testing is linked test information in proc
however the improvement was nearly this study we cordless
or whether the test was multiple choice test
or do you recall task
furthermore
recall of information
really to multiple choice test incorrect alternatives once the state
it was just a e one the participants were given feedback to the initial test
so in summary the results discussed about indicate that multiple choice test are not inferior
to you recall test
they can force letters to think one time that is
are incorrect answers which is very important because this clearly indicate that multiple choice test
hence here
advantage over there you recall
multiple choice test also have a poster learning cabal previously tested and related content
and last but not least and this is a very for bad but probably needs
are not there
the video coverage
ensure that
you multiple choice tests are well constructed
and contain all possible alternatives
two but more
companies use the information that is share all is free
thank you for your attention
