Abstract:

This study was conducted to analyze test items by measuring quantitative characteristics (difficulty level and discrimination index). There were 25 MCQ type test items designed by using first two chapters of Chemistry Class 10th. This test was used as a pretest to examine the “Effect of e-module on the Academic Achievement of Chemistry Students at Secondary Level”. Researcher selected 150 students through multistage random sampling from district Gujrat for item analysis. A total of 150 students were used to measure the difficulty index.

Background: Carefully constructed, high quality multiple choice questions can serve as effective tools to improve standard of teaching. This item analysis was performed to find the difficulty index, discrimination index and number of non functional distractors in single best response type questions.Methods: 40 single best response type questions with four options, each carrying one mark for the correct response, was taken for item analysis. There was no negative marking. The maximum marks was 40. Based on the scores, the evaluated answer scripts were arranged with the highest score on top and

Abstract:

Background: There are different types of exam formats for educational assessment. Multiple choice questions (MCQs) are frequently utilized assessment tools in health education. Considering the reliability and validity in developing MCQ items is vital. Educators often face the difficulty of developing credible distractors in MCQ items. Poorly constructed MCQ items make an exam easier or too difficult to be answered correctly by students as intended learning objectives. Checking the quality of MCQ items is overlooked and too little is known about it. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the qua

Abstract:

While almost half of the teachersâ€™ activities are assessing their students, they are not well-prepared with assessment literacy training. Hence, they are unable to produce good tests to measure studentsâ€™ level of knowledge and skills. This study is aimed at analyzing item difficulty and item discrimination of a test made by an English teacher at a junior high school in Kupang. It was descriptive qualitative research and the instruments of the research were test items, answer keys, and studentsâ€™ answer sheets. For the difficulty index, it was revealed that more than half of the test items

Abstract:

AbstractEconomic performance has long been routinely measured by GDP. Although it is a good measure of activity, it is generally agreed to be a poor measure of economic success. The reasons are that it omits domestic labour and other unpaid work, it includes a great deal of economic activity that does not contribute directly to economic welfare (“defensive expenditures”) and may be harmful to individuals, society or the environment, and it is insensitive to inequality. There are also several other, more technical, problems. More fundamentally, purchases that merely improve one person’s economi

The main focus is on its association with performance improvement, an area that has been insufficiently explored in terms of taxonomies. Therefore, the aim of this chapter was to present a taxonomy of the elements of effective feedback to create an instrument that assesses managers’ knowledge of it.

Abstract:

In this chapter, the author studies the knapsack problem with fuzzy weights for single and bi-objective function. The knapsack problem has been widely used in the investment and business model. In real-world decision-making situations, the existence of fuzziness of the weights and the profit is a common requirement. To overcome this difficulty, these weights and profit can be considered as a triangular fuzzy number. Thus, a fuzzy knapsack problem is introduced. The author introduces the possibility index which gives the possibility of choosing the items with fuzzy weights for knapsack with cri

Abstract In 2000, Oag and Williams (IADC/SPE 59196) introduced Directional Difficulty Index (DDI) as a benchmarking tool aimed at normalizing trajectory complexities across wells. The tool was designed to establish expectations of directional drilling performance from well to well, and serve as a planning tool for optimizing projects. Equally, where drilling teams desired, it served as a means of leveling performance incentives from well to well. In the interest of simplicity, DDI focused exclusively on trajectory, wellbore length, TVD and tortuosity. The uptake of DDI has been successful, yet
