Title: Matching Items


1
Matching Items
2
Matching Items
  • give students two lists one, the premises, a
    guide the other, response choices
  • best used to test relationships
  • have declined in use with inception of computer
    scoring tests
  • often test only lower levels of knowledge
  • can, with effort, test to analysis

3
Use Matching When You Want to Test for
  • KNOWLEDGE OF FACTS parts location definition
    terms
  • COMPREHENSION OF CONCEPTS structures
    functions types uses
  • APPLICATION OF PRINCIPLES principles
    applications problems formulae
  • ANALYSIS OF A WHOLE organizing concepts in an
    essay design principles in a layout

4
Best Used for
  • Identifying Relationships parts location,
    function, use, or appearance words
    definitions, use, tense dates events,
    sequencing, accomplishments symbols meaning
  • Classifying Items into Categories components
    their classification steps activities

5
Most Suitably Used When
  • a series of multiple choice will all have same
    alternatives
  • there are several homogeneous items
  • objectivity scoring are important
  • space is to be saved
  • guessing is to be discouraged

6
Consider That Matching Can
  • encourage rote memorization
  • be difficult to construct as homogeneous material
    is required but may be lacking
  • NOT be used for higher-levels of learning

7
Components of a Matching Item
  • Two lists specific instructions on how to
    respond
  • a list of PREMISES is presented on the left, each
    of which is a separate item
  • a list of RESPONSES, on the right, each of which
    is a believable match for every premise.

8
Instruction Statement Which Provides
  • exact directions on how students are to respond,
    matching the responses from B with the premises
    in A.
  • directions on where to write the answers, in
    blanks on test or on computer score sheets
  • number of times a response may be used once,
    more than once, or not at all.

9
Identifying
  • Columns by Roman Numerals
  • Premises with numbers in front
  • Responses with letters

10
In Matching Items, DO
  • DO test important information.
  • Do place premises on left, responses on right.
  • Do have fewer or more responses than there are
    premises.
  • Do use homogeneous material for the entire item.

11
In Matching Items, DO
  • DO keep the list fairly short 8-12 at most!
  • DO make responses shorter than premises as
    responses are read for each item.
  • DO use a logical order for listings
    alphabetical, chronological, by magnitude.
  • DO use phrases for the premises.
  • DO write very clear instructions.

12
In Matching Items, DO
  • DO ensure that each response is a believable
    match for every premise.
  • DO include the basis for matching the items in
    the instructions.
  • DO allow students to use a response only once,
    more than once, or not at all, tell them that.
  • keep both lists on one page.

13
In Matching Items, DO
  • DO have a title for the overall question.
  • DO have a specific heading for each of the
    columns.

14
In Matching Items, DONT
  • DONT use the same number of premises and
    responses reduces guessing by elimination.
  • DONT make the responses the same length in words
    as the premises as that is confusing
  • DONT use incomplete sentences
  • DONT use negatives.
  • DONT use nonhomogeneous material

15
Types of Matching Items
  • Regular
  • Teaching
  • Cluster

16
Regular Matching
  • Relating Test to Timing
  • Timing Test
  • __ 1. beginning of unit a. follow up
  • __ 2. end of course b. formative
  • __ 3. first few days of course c. sizing-up
  • __ 4. during unit or course d. summative
  • __ 5. years after end of course e. pretest
  • f. posttest

17
Cluster
  • Identify each descriptor as T, M, A, E.
  • quantifying behavior __
  • sampling behavior __
  • collecting and displaying evidence __
  • 14/38 __
  • best work I have ever seen __
  • observation __

18
Teaching Type Matching

    blank----------

    decision about adequacy _______
