I kept all test questions knowledge-based only, directly reflecting the learning goals, which matched their learning resources, exit slips, quizzes and review questions to a tee. I tried to alleviate all guesswork when it came to studying, and made the test as predictable as possible, so it would just test basic course content. But there were students who still struggled (either due to not performing well in a test situation, or not studying, or not getting to all the learning goals in required time). <br /><br />I wonder how I could involve students in the test creation process, when everyone is in a potentially different place in the unit coming into the test, and there is no creativity involved in creating the test in the first place? Would it suffice to show them the types of questions (from the review), and then have them create their own? I'll play around with this tomorrow in class (the grade 10s will be reviewing for their unit test on Wednesday).

Would students do better if they collaborated or contributed to the test creation process? I think they would better understand the thinking behind test item creation. They would also be better equipped to collaborate in meaningful test preparation. I agree that students need to learn how to take tests - having them part of the process might serve to demystify them and make them less intimidating.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10949028857986205080noreply@blogger.com
