A Comparison of Undergraduate Test Response Strategies for Multiple-Choice and Constructed-Response Questions.
Barnett-Foster, Debora; Nagy, Philip
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v41 n1 p18-35 Mar 1995
Analysis of response strategies employed by 261 undergraduate chemistry students when answering multiple-choice and stem-equivalent constructed-response questions revealed no significant differences in types of solution strategies or types of errors across test format. However, analysis of student oral reports revealed a higher frequency of evaluation behavior and greater confidence associated with constructed-response answers. (LP)
