4 In the Short-Answer Question (SAQ) format Questions can be answered in just a few words or phrases Use constructed responses with a single focus Space is allocated on the answer page indicating the expected length and complexity of the answers Have a comprehensive model answer key to ensure reliable scoring

5 Also common when using the Short- Answer Question (SAQ) format Questions may be prefaced with a vignette or scenario in order to make the question more clinically based. Questions may consist of many sub-questions to build on common content areas.

6 Compared to Multiple-Choice: Easier to develop than multiple-choice questions Is not a multiple-guess / selected response format Compared to Essays: Much easier to score than short or long essay questions Task more clearly defined Examinees answer more concisely Inter-rater agreement higher Do not need two scorers

7 Usually more difficult to develop than shortessay or long-essay questions Harder to mark than multiple-choice questions Difficult to make answer keys totally comprehensive Often only knowledge/comprehension questions rather than critical thinking or problem solving

8 Good SAQ questions clearly, consistently and fairly assess what we want to assess in an efficient and effective manner. How do we maximize: Validity? Reliability? Practicality / Feasibility?

9 Create questions that: Can be answered realistically in a few words or phrases avoid long essays. Have single focus per question / sub-question As much as possible, each sub-question should be independent from the rest

10 Restrict the length of the answer by using precise wording to define the task Ask direct questions: What is... Use actions verbs such as: List, Name Do not use words like Discuss, Describe, Summarize or Outline unless you limit the length of the answer or specify a limiting restriction such as Describe THREE specific methods of

11

12 When choosing a topic area: Base choice on objective/established content area preferably based on an examination BLUEPRINT. True/False or Matching Questions have low reliability and should be avoided

13 Be careful when using diagrams

14

15 When reviewing the questions: Look at the difficulty level Is the content relevant to the purpose of the overall examination?

16 Provide visual guidelines to indicate how long an answer is expected Provide a guideline to indicate the number of marks and/or importance of the question and answer

17 Length of vignettes should be proportional to the value of the question. Do not provide cues in text. Should be of appropriate difficulty and a relatively plausible situation.

18 Focused Not tricky Challenging but fair Clear outline of expectations: Content expected Length of answer Mark allocation Not ambiguous Simple, detailed marking scheme and model answers Little subjectivity required by marker / Objective Defensible / Fair

19 1. Does the question target the learning objectives to be evaluated? 2. Will students know exactly what is being asked of them? 3. Does the question allow you to give consistent marks?

20 Are any of the following good examples of SAQs? How can they be improved?

21 List four characteristics of SAQs (4 marks) Can be answered in a few words / in point form 1 Open-ended 1 Increases reliability in scoring because the question structures the responses 1 Often starts with words such as List or Name 1 Usually measure knowledge or application of knowledge 1 Less subjective than essay questions 1 Easier to construct than MCQ but harder to mark 1

22 List THREE criteria required for an effective headline.

23 You are a media studies professor who wants to assess your students' knowledge of the key features of "yellow" journalism. Define yellow journalism. What would you recommend be the best way to assess the students?
