The Level of Universities Students’ Test Wiseness in Jordan during Distance Learning in Light of Some Variables

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the level of students’ test wiseness during remote learning. The study sample included (391) students from Amman Arab University. A scale consisting of (28) items was deployed to the participants after assuring its validity and reliability. The results showed a high level of students’ test wiseness. Moreover, there were no statistically significant differences at ( α = 0.05 ) between the arithmetic means of the total degree of test wiseness attributed to the study variables, while there were statistically significant differences at ( α = 0.05 ) between the means of the dimension “Using of Time” on favor of male students. In addition, the findings elucidated that there were statistically significant differences at ( α = 0.05 ) between the arithmetic means of the dimension “Avoidance of Error” attributed to faculty in favor of the humanities faculties. Finally, the results showed statistically significant differences at ( α = 0.05 ) between the arithmetic means of the dimension “Deductive Thinking” attributed to the academic program in favor of master and bachelor students.

Guess for Success? Application of a Mixture Model to Test-Wiseness on Multiple-Choice Exams

“…This paper examines student performance on multiple-choice exams by focusing on what the educational measurement literature describes as a popular "test-wiseness" strategy, whereby students reach the correct answer by eliminating some distractors, depending on their partial knowledge of the test content [13][14][15][16]. In the absence of such partial knowledge, students tend to use blind guessing, which has a probability equal to one divided by number of alternatives in choosing the correct answer [13,17]. This paper assumes that economics principles students adopt this approach to multiple-choice exams, where each multiple-choice exam consists of N questions, each with k alternatives.…”

Predictive Ability Of Moral Intelligence In Academic Entitlement Among University Students

“…Self-control expresses the student's ability to control his behaviour and thoughts and adapt them to help him perform socially acceptable behaviour and avoid unacceptable behaviour. Respect refers to the student's self-respect, respect for others and their abilities, and not underestimating himself or others (Alnasraween et al, 2022). Kindness is the student's ability to assist needy people without asking.…”
