Prayer
Heavenly Father,
We come before You with open hearts and minds.
As we begin this lesson, we ask for Your wisdom and guidance.
Help us to focus, to understand, and to retain what we learn today.
Grant us patience when the material is challenging,
And curiosity when something sparks our interest.
May our learning bring us closer to Your truth,
And may we always use the knowledge we gain to serve others with
love and compassion.
We thank You for the opportunity to grow,
And for the people who guide and teach us.
In Your holy name, we pray. Amen

Objective Supply Type Tests
Completion and short answer have the following differences:
In completion, to complete a sentence, an answer is needed while
an answer is being asked from a statement or question;

At the end of an incomplete statement, a blank is placed for the


answer while in a short answer, the blank is placed before the item
number.
Objective Supply Type Item Construction
Completion Type Examples
1. A five-sided polygon is called_____
2. Noli Me Tangere was written by Dr. Rizal during the______
colonial period.
3. A salesman sells magazines 20% more than what he pays for the
said magazines. For a _____magazine sold for Php° 200, his profits

Things to consider in writing effective
completion questions
1. Write each test item to tap into the kind of thinking and the
content in important learning outcomes.
2. Design test items so that students should supply an important
word or concept
3. Insert or place a blank where an answer is expected.
4. Avoid grammatical or other clues.
Non-Objective
Supply Type
Question
Restricted-response essay
In this type of essay, a directive or a question given suggests a
specification in constructing the response. It can be in terms of
specified length of response, limited coverage of content, expected
form of response or mindset to be utilized or definitive perspective.
Extended-response essay
In this type of essay, the directive or question does not suggest any
form of restriction in the response construction. The students are
free to organize and expound on their ideas freely.
Things to consider in constructing
essay exam
1. Clearly state questions.
2. Relatively larger number of questions should be included.
3. Guard against having too many test items
4. Indicate an appropriate response length,
5. If necessary, set time limits.
6. Note graded weights to questions
Selected-
Response Type
Construction
Selected-response
types
selected-response types involve choosing the most correct or
nearly best option to answer a problem.
The construction of plausible options or distracters is the
greatest challenge for this item format so that not one stands
out as attractively correct.
Selected-Response Type Construction
1. Alternate Form or the Binary Choice
The propositional statement veracity are judged by students
indicating whether they are correct or incorrect, true or false
or whether they agree or disagree with the idea or thought
judged to be false or incorrect more or less challenges the
learners' reasoning ability and raises the outcome level which
can be assessed.
Varieties of alternate form or binary
choice
1. True - False
2. Yes - No
3. Right - Wrong
4. Correction
5. Multiple true-false
6. Yes-No with explanation
Things to consider in constructing
True or False
Every part of the sentence which is true should be "true" and
when any one part of the sentence is false, the whole sentence is
false.

Paraphrasing should be done not directly quoting from a source.


Focus on differentiating should be maintained and issues on
copyright should be avoided.
Utilize simple and direct language in declarative sentences.
Correct part of the statement should be presented first and
vary the truth or falsity of the second part in case when
statement expresses a relationship (if, then; cause, effect)

Statements in the test should be absolute without


qualification
If necessary, include background, context and
qualifications

Substitution or experimentation with variety is advisable


in developing a question with qualifier, absolute word or
negative so as to find the best phrase and assessment.
Multiple choice
Because of its versatility to assess various understanding levels from
knowledge and simple understanding to deep understanding, multiple
choice is widely chosen. Aside from the ability to assess different
outcome levels, multiple choice items are easy to score, more familiar
to students as they often encounter in different events of testing and
less susceptible to guessing than alternate-choice.
Multiple choice Example:

1. What form of government is ruled by a President?


a. Monarchy
b. Parliamentary
c. Presidential
d. Federal
Guidelines in constructing the stems and
distracters for Multiple Choice items
STEMS:
1. All the words of the stem must be important to the task. It means
stating the problem significantly and clearly so that students will
understand what is expected to be answered.
Stem should be distinctive by itself and should fully
contain the problem. This should be observe especially
when the stem utilizes an incomplete statement
format.

The stem should utilize a question with only one and


clear best answer.
Guidelines in constructing the stems and
distracters for multiple choice items
DISTRACTERS:

1. All distracters must appear effective touninformed test


takers..
2. Assign correct answers randomly to alternative positions.
3. As much as possible, avoid utilizing "All of the
Above or None of the Above as distracters
because students wifnout much thinking, may
tend to choose these options.
Matching type
These items consists of two lists of words or phrases which are parallel
to each other and students are tasked to pair them.
- Premises - the first line which is to be matched.
- Options/Responses - the other list from which to choose its match
based on a kind of association.
Ex. Of matching type
Best practices in constructing Matching
Types may be considered
1. Keep questions straightforward and short. Unnecessary words
should be avoided.
2. In constructing. Matching Type items, it is advisable to not to get
carried away adding additional items. 10-12 items may be
considered.
3. Arranging the items in the left column according to
some criteria is best alphabetically. chronologically,

4. Making sure that no item in the right column can be


matched to more than one item in the left one as much as
possible.
