What I learned: Week Seven: Nov.5-11

I am an education major and this week we learned how to make a rubric to create tests for our students. There are two different types which I did not know until now. The first one is how we can use an essay test format and have the kids use there own creative knowledge and write what they got out of the class. This is forcing the students to recall information. We then have the second which is where we make a multiple choice test and they have to chose the correct answer that should be visible to them or at least be able to give them a 50% chance if they tried in class because they should be able to mark off two of the choices. When we create the multiple choice test we should give them four options that sound realistic. However, the incorrect answers are what we call "distractors" we need to be able to have them pick the correct option. So, our teachers create our tests on the bases of these two different types of test making options. There is of course also the true and false and binary options but we do not normally give these to students very often because of the high percent they have of just simply guessing the answers.
