 1. Identify a type of learning outcome where you would prefer to use matching items
and explain why.
The learning result that is created by the use of matching items will indicate the learners’

capacity to perceive the link between two objects, and the required number of homogenous

premises and replies may be achieved. Additionally, a matching text has been applied in

conjunction with graphical resources to connect pictures and words, as well as to identify

geographic places on maps, charts, and diagrams. What matters most is that the learner

associates two facts that have some logical basis for connection, regardless of the mode of

presentation used to accomplish this. This would be used to assess a student's capacity to recall

specific pertinent material in a short period of time, as well as his or her general recall skills.

2. Discuss why a teacher would likely not take off for spelling when scoring a short
answer question.
However, even if this issue is eliminated, the student's spelling skill may still influence

the final score. Students' test results will reflect various levels of knowledge and spelling ability

if full or partial credit is deducted for misspelled words. However, if spelling is not considered in

scoring, the instructor must still determine whether misspelled words genuinely indicate the right

response. This kind of error is so common that it is hard to tell what the student was trying to

say.

3. List three advantages that multiple-choice items have over true false items
The first benefit is that students cannot only know that a proposition is wrong; they must

also know what is right. The increased dependability of individual items is the second benefit.

Increasing the number of options from two to three, four or five reduces the chance of guessing

the right answer, and so increases the accuracy. To quantify learning outcomes in a variety of

topic areas where answers to problems aren't completely true or wrong, but rather vary in degree

of appropriateness, would be the third benefit.
