The Analysis of Multiple-Choice Tests in a Professional English Course at Astana IT University: Difficulty, Discrimination and Distractor Efficiency Indexes

open access: yesBulletin of the Karaganda University Pedagogy Series, 2023
The objective of this study is to analyse the quality of multiple-choice questions by applying such evaluative tools as a difficulty index (DIF), a discrimination index (DI), and a distractor efficiency (DE). Our analysis was based on the results of quizzes conducted in Trimester III of 2020-2021 for the course of Professional English at Astana IT ...

Acting and anticipating: Impact of outcome-compatible distractor depends on response selection efficiency.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2016
Action selection is thought to involve selection of the action's sensory outcomes. This notion is supported when encountering a distractor that resembles a learned response-outcome biases response selection. Some evidence, however, suggests that a larger contribution of stimulus-based response selection leaves little role for outcome-based selection ...

Content-Based Observation of Informative Distractors and Efficiency of Ability Estimation

1990
Abstract : The paper summarizes the shortages of the conventional way of handling the multiple-choice test and also describes theories and methodologies that can be applied for a better handling of the multiple-choice test item; some empirical facts are introduced to support the theoretical observations; finally new strategies of item writing are ...

Analysis of Difficulty Index, Discrimination Index and Distractor Efficiency in Multiple Choice Questions

Journal of Advanced Zoology
Background: The item analysis of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) is an essential tool that can provide input on validity and reliability of items. It helps to identify items, which can be revised or discarded, thus building a quality MCQ bank. Aim: The aim of the study to evaluate the quality of MCQs by analyzing DIF, DI and DE and to find out the ...

Attentional Capture by a Salient Distractor Enhances Target Search Efficiency through Object-based Attentional Spreading

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience
Abstract Salient distractors can automatically capture attention, but how object-based attention modulates this capture remains unclear. To address this issue, we conducted four experiments in a modified additional singleton paradigm where eight items were grouped into two perceptual objects based on the Gestalt principle of proximity.

Quality of Multiple-Choice Items on Buffer Solution Material: A Study of Reliability, Difficulty, Discrimination, and Distractor Efficiency

International Journal of Educational and Life Sciences
Assessment quality depends not only on test reliability but also on the psychometric functioning of individual items. In chemistry education, this issue is important because teacher-constructed multi-ple-choice tests are often used to evaluate student achievement, yet their item quality is not always examined systematically. This study aimed to analyze
