One of the most troublesome variables in comparing the effectiveness of teachers is the quality of their testing material. Observing teachers while they teach is a relatively easy part of the teacher evaluation process. Evaluating the assessments they produce is much more time-consuming and requires some expertise about test construction.
Why Use Multiple Choice Tests
Multiple choice tests are convenient because they can be constructed to cover a wide range of knowledge and they are easy to correct. However, aside from the involved procedures of establishing validity and reliability, teacher-made tests may have defects that are apparent. These defects may also apply to printed tests or computer “test banks” that accompany textbooks.
Multiple choice tests are sometime referred to as “objective” tests, but that label refers simply to the test correction procedure. Using an answer key, anyone – or a machine – could correct the test eliminating the need for subjectivity in scoring. The test-making procedure is still subjective.
