Paper Abstract:
|
This reflection paper challenges current test scoring practices on the grounds that most wrong-answer selections are thoughtful not random, presenting research supporting this proposition. An alternative test scoring system is presented, described and its outcomes discussed. This new scoring system increases the number of variables considered, reduces the mesh of the analytical screen and provided considerable more information to inform teaching. |
