Constructive Multiple-Choice Testing (CMT) System
conference contribution
posted on 2009-12-01, 16:30 authored by Jooyong ParkA new computerized testing system, called the Constructive Multiple-choice
Testing (CMT) system, is introduced. The system combines short-answer and
multiple-choice (MC) formats by asking examinees to respond to the same
question twice question-by-question, first, in short-answer format, and then in
the MC format. An empirical study using the system is reported. Eighty-one 6th
grade students (12 years old) were tested on social studies with the CMT
system. As expected, students got higher score in the MC format. The
correlation between the short-answer and the MC format was medium high
(.71). In a subsequent analysis, it was found that whereas those who got
intermediate scores in the short-answer part scored relatively higher in the
MC part, those who got high or low scores in the short-answer part scored
relatively lower in the MC part. Another interesting finding was that there were
some cases where students chose a wrong option, even though they typed in
the correct answer for the short-answer part. Implications of the results and
possible applications of the system are discussed.
