Objectives

General Objective

The overall objective of this module on criterion test items is to evaluate a module based on its test items so that you will be able to evaluate your own modules just as systematically and objectively.

Specific objectives

  • Without any references or aids, be able to explain what a criterion test item measures.
  • Without any references or aids, be able to list at least six of the seven question formats used in constructing criterion test items that are presented in this module.
  • Given pre- and post-test results from a recently tested module, be able to evaluate the effectiveness of the module and state which items, if any, need revising.
