|
|
|
## Item Writing
|
|
|
|
- Write one clear, correct answer for MC items
|
|
- Make all options plausible for the target audience
|
|
- Avoid "all of the above" and "none of the above"
|
|
- Keep stem and options concise
|
|
- Avoid negative stems ("Which is NOT...") when possible
|
|
- Ensure each item measures only one objective
|
|
|
|
## Rubric Design
|
|
|
|
- Use clear, observable performance criteria
|
|
- Define distinct performance levels
|
|
- Write descriptors that are specific and measurable
|
|
- Align criteria directly to learning objectives
|
|
- Include examples at each performance level when possible
|
|
|
|
## Bias and Fairness
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
