An Alternative Multiple‐Choice Question Format to Guide Feedback Using Student Self‐Assessment of Knowledge

Abstract: Management science professors who teach large classes often assess students with multiple‐choice questions (MCQs) because it is efficient. However, traditional MCQ formats are ill‐fitted for constructive feedback. We propose the reward for omission with confidence in knowledge (ROCK) format as an original formative assessment technique to help guide feedback associated with MCQs in an introductory undergraduate management science course. Our study contributes to theory by empirically showing that students can … Show more

“…Such patterns are indicative of guessing behaviors and are often encountered in learning systems with multiple choice questions and quizzes (Tsai et al, 2012 ). In such cases, attention and/or strategy based feedback might assist the students (Collignon et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Looking at both 'certain when correct' and 'correct when certain' has been proposed as an area for future research, although not specifically for health care. 38 Using assessment responses to explore both efficiency and safety has been studied in the health care context, 19 but only by using logarithmic formula scoring involving the participant's estimation of their likelihood of being correct. 39 Issues with this are, first, that clinicians do not think in terms of percent likelihood correct 33 and, second, that if the results are used to inform high-stakes decisions then people may game the scoring system and respond in ways they think will maximise their score rather than respond as they might in authentic settings.…”

“…Other research asked the question ‘Is certainty higher when correct?’, 17,18,21–23,33,36,37 which aligns with efficient decision‐making. Looking at both ‘certain when correct’ and ‘correct when certain’ has been proposed as an area for future research, although not specifically for health care 38 . Using assessment responses to explore both efficiency and safety has been studied in the health care context, 19 but only by using logarithmic formula scoring involving the participant's estimation of their likelihood of being correct 39 .…”

“…The information provided by multiple choice tests is richer, meaning that these items can provide more information about students to teachers or other test compilers, especially if these items have high homogeneity (Mutiah et al, 2020;Putri, 2020). The form of multiple-choice tests commonly used by teachers is the usual or conventional multiple-choice form, in which students can choose the most appropriate answer from several alternative answers (Chen et al, 2020;Collignon et al, 2020;McKenna, 2019;Shin et al, 2019).…”
