| Abstract | This study assumes that multiple choice test items generally provide the testee with several solutions, one of which is correct and the others of which are wrong. If pupils are unable to answer a question, one would expect that the wrong choices have equal chances of being selected. In many multiple choice items on stoichiometric calculation which have been studied over recent years, pupils were attracted to one or two wrong answers more than to the others. It is apparent that they have reached a wrong result by using a wrong answering strategy. The aim of this study was to develop new multiple choice test items involving stoichiometry in such a way that the correct and the two false answering strategies would lead to different results, to create items that include only number ratios which allow quick mental calculations and to determine whether on the new items pupils actually adopt false answering strategies. The strategy for developing questions and answer choices is discussed in detail. Instruments were administered to pupils in grades 11 and 12. This study concludes that when developing a test for classroom or research, items should include false and correct strategy application in the same proportion. (CW) |
