Response
Options
Actions ranging from typing numbers or characters,
clicking a box, clicking on a graphic or text,
dragging icons or text while responding to item
formats including selected response (multiple choice,
multiple response, figural response [select part of a
figure or graphic], ordered response [order or

rule]), sorting or categorizing problems or ranking
items by correctness; constructed responses include
typing a numerical answer to a quantitative question

Ppt on cognitive items, items types and computer based test items
- 1. Presentation on Cognitive Items, Items Types and Computer Based Test Items By :Irshad Narejo M.ed 2nd semester
- 2. THIS PRESENTATION COVERS THESE TOPICS What are cognitive items Types of test items Computer-based test items
- 3. COGNITIVE ITEMS The cognitive domain involves the learning and application of knowledge. Emphasis upon knowledge, using the mind, and intellectual abilities.
- 4. KNOWLEDGE Students can remember previously learned material, recall specific facts, know methods and procedures, list principles and know basic concepts VERBS Define, repeat, record, list, recall, name, underline, identify, recognize
- 5. COMPREHENSION Students can interpret verbal material, translate verbal messages into mathematical terms (words to numbers), interpret charts and graphs, predict consequences or effects, justify methods and procedures. VERBS Translate, restate, discuss, describe, explain, express, identify, locate, report, review, tell, conclude, detect, differentiate, select, interpret, estimate, cite examples of, demonstrate use of
- 6. APPLICATION Students can use learned material in new and concrete ways. They can apply rules, methods, concepts, laws, and theories. They are able to solve mathematical problems, construct charts and graphs, and correctly demonstrate a process or procedure. VERBS Interpret, apply, employ, use, demonstrate, dramatize, practice, illustrate, operate, schedule, shop, sketch, develop, predict, generalize, relate
- 7. ANALYSIS Student can break down material into its component parts to understand its organizational structure. They can identify parts, analyze the relationship between parts, analyze the organizational structure of a work of art, music or writing. VERBS Distinguish, analyze, differentiate, calculate, experiment, test, compare, contrast, solve, diagram, inspect, debate, inventory, question, examine, categorize, criticize
- 8. SYNTHESIS Student can put parts together to form a new whole. They can produce unique communication (speech), a plan of operations (research proposal), or a set of abstract relations(classification scheme). VERBS Compose, plan, propose, design, formulate, arrange, assemble, collect, construct, create, set up, organize, prepare, classify, organize,
- 9. EVALUATION Students have the ability to judge the value of material (statement, novel, poem, research, report) for a given purpose. VERBS Judge, evaluate, rate, compare, value, revise, score, select, choose, assess, estimate, measure, appraise critique, validate
- 10. TYPES OF TEST ITEMS DIRECT ITEMS DIRECT TEST ITEMS TYPES Create a 'level playing field' Replicate real-life interaction : Speaking Writing Reading listening
- 11. DIRECT TEST ITEMS TYPES Create a 'level playing field‘: It means that in the case of a written test or a testing receptive skills, it is needed to avoid making excessive demands on the students general or specialist knowledge. That is the topic should not be too general or specific. Replicate real-life interaction: It means that tests of listening or speaking should reflect real life, i-e ,the text should be as realistic as possible.
- 12. TYPES OF TEST ITEMS INDIRECT ITEMS Indirect test items try to measure student knowledge & ability by getting at what lies beneath their receptive & productive skills. Indirect items try to find out about a student's language knowledge through more controlled items, such as multiple choice questions or grammar transformation items.
- 13. INDIRECT TEST ITEM TYPES Sentence fill-ins Finding errors in sentences Choosing the correct form of a word Sentence re-ordering Transform ation and paraphrase Cloze procedures Multiple choice questions (MCQs) Other types
- 14. INDIRECT TEST ITEM TYPES MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS (MCQS) Students select the correct answer from alternative responses. Each item has: Item stem Correct or keyed option Several distractor options • The journalist was ___ by enemy fire as he tried to send a story by radio. A wronged B wounded C injured D damaged
- 15. CLOZE PROCEDURES: Cloze procedures seem to offer us the ideal indirect but integrative testing item. Cloze, in its purest form, is the deletion of every nth word in a text (somewhere between every fifth or tenth word). • They sat on a bench attached 1 _____ a picnic table. Below them they 2_____ see the river gurgling between overgrown 3______ . The sky was diamond blue, with 4_____ white clouds • dancing in the freshening 5______ . They could hear the call of 6_____ and the buzzing of countless insects. 7_____ were completely alone.
- 16. TRANSFORMATION AND PARAPHRASE A common test item asks candidates to rewrite sentences in a slightly different form, retaining the exact meaning of the original. For example, the following item tests the candidates' knowledge of verb and clause patterns that are triggered by the use of I wish: I'm sorry that I didn't get her an anniversary present I wish ______________________________________
- 17. SENTENCE RE-ORDERING Getting students to put words in the right order to make appropriate sentences tells us quite a lot about their underlying knowledge of syntax and lexico grammatical elements. The following example is typical: Put the words in order to make correct sentences. called/ I/ I'm/ in/ sorry/ I wasn't / when / you
- 18. OTHER TYPES OF INDIRECT ITEMS SENTENCE FILL-INS (Jan __ to the gym every Tuesday morning), CHOOSING THE CORRECT TENSE OF VERBS IN SENTENCES AND PASSAGES (l have arrived/arrived yesterday), FINDING ERRORS IN SENTENCES (She noticed about his new jacket), CHOOSING THE CORRECT FORM OF A WORD (He didn't enjoy being on the (lose) __ side).
- 19. COMPUTER BASED TEST Computer based testing (CBT) allows test takers to take the tests using a computer.
- 20. COMPUTER BASED TEST ITEMS Audio Independent audio recordings or an audio track accompanying a video or animation Tables and Graphs Tables used to organize information, convey structure and relationships. Graphs used to represent data visually Mathematic al and Scientific Notation Mathematical expressions, scientific expressions, scientific notation, scientific elements, numbers and symbols
- 21. COMPUTER BASED TEST ITEMS Response Options Actions ranging from typing numbers or characters, clicking a box, clicking on a graphic or text, dragging icons or text while responding to item formats including selected response (multiple choice, multiple response, figural response [select part of a figure or graphic], ordered response [order or sequence a list of items in accordance with some rule]), sorting or categorizing problems or ranking items by correctness; constructed responses include typing a numerical answer to a quantitative question and figural responses where the student marks on, assembles, or interacts with a figure (build a circuit, plot points on a grid, correct errors in a passage)
- 22. COMPUTER BASED TEST ITEMS Text Construct relevant terms or concepts in the instructions, stem, or stimulus materials Images Photos, static images (artwork, maps, cartoons, etc.), icons (images on interface elements used to represent functionality), symbols (images that are commonly understood to represent a particular concept) Active Objects/ Links Words or icons that result in an action or take the user to a different location, or pictures with multiple active regions each which take the user to a different location
- 23. COMPUTER BASED TEST ITEMS Video and Animation Visual representations that contain action Constructed Response: Text Language-based composition ranging from fill-in-the blank to essays Constructed Response: Math Input a response ranging from a single number to complex proofs or displays of work Multi stage/Multipart Items Multiple actions or responses required within one item. Screen elements or environment changes at each stage of multi-stage items. Multi-part items have a different page for each part.
