Content-based Items

I had a hard time making content-based items

since I have this mindset that tests are just easy
to make, and as long as all the questions are seen
in your discussion, you're ready to go. But I was
wrong because you have a lot to consider, like the
table of specifications. You have to identify the
level of learning of the students by plotting them
against Bloom's taxonomy. And you have to aim
to make it higher-order thinking skills of the
students to really see how they understand the
lesson. In addition, I also had this thought before
that if you make choices in the multiple choice
type, you can just put any alternatives in there,
even if they are not connected to the topic, as
long as you have different alternatives and have
the right answer. It is also fascinating to learn
that the right answers in multiple choice questions
shouldn't be in a consistent one-letter format;
they have to change from time to time, like a, c,
d, b, c, a, d, or something like that. More
importantly, content-based questions must not
only look at how students memorize the topic but
also reach different levels of cognitive learning.
