A Comparison of Two, Three and Four-Choice Item Tests Given a Fixed Total Number of Choices
While measurement textbooks typically recommend the use of four or five alternatives with multiple-choice test items theoretical work by Tversky (1964) and some empirical studies indicate that three-choice items may be optimal under certain circumstances. In this study the characteristics of tests composed entirely of two, three or four-choice items were investigated given a fixed total number of alternatives across the whole test (Tversky's cond…
The Development of a Co-operative, Competitive, and Individualised Learning Preference Scale for Students
An important variable in the effectiveness of learning is the preference of the student for a mode of learning, i.e., co-operative, competitive, or individualised. A Learning Preference Scale is therefore an asset, both to teachers as they try to suit the mode of classroom activity to student preferences, and to researchers as they investigate the dynamics of learning, especially aptitude-treatment interaction. The Learning Preference Scale-Stude…

Obtaining Paired Comparisons Data from Multiple Rank Orders Using Partially Balanced Incomplete Block Designs
Complete paired comparisons data was obtained by the method of multiple rank order (MRO) in the context of gathering rank order preferences of grade six students, their parents, and their teachers for instructional objectives. Partially balanced incomplete block designs with two associate classes were used in the M RO instruments instead of the usual balanced incomplete block designs. The use of partially balanced designs may yield several benefi…
