REFLECTION 6

On our lecture two days ago, we have been discussing about the construction of a test. The content on the lecture include the importance of selecting appropriate assessment to our respondent. Our lecturer do explained about the type of an assessment, short answer. I will elaborate about the advantages of using short answer. The purposes of selecting short answer is to recall a specific information. Why do we need to use short answer types? It is because, short answer is easier to construct and student itself would giving their own answer, in the other hand, they will use their own sentences to answering the question stated. Moreover our lecturer told us not to construct a question that does not easy to measure. It is important to construct an item that meet the respondent needs. Besides, there is no use of constructing a complex item but the the existence of the items is irrelevant. In addition, our lecturer had distribute a question paper consist of 15 question that need us to evaluate the consistency. We have told to identify whether the question is good or bad. Good refers to the question state a clear and specific topic that need to be asked and bad refers to the question that consist of complex and irrelevant content. This class activity is done in a group and it really make us realized that we need to well-prepared the item before distribute to the respondent to avoid an error.
