Abstract(s)
In this paper we wish to illustrate different perspectives used to create Multiple-Choice questions and
we will show how we can improve these in the construction of math tests.
As it is known, web technologies have a great influence on student’s behaviour. Based on an on-line
project beginning at 2007 which has been contributing to help students on their individual work, we
would like to share our experience and thoughts with colleagues who have a common concern when
they have the task of constructing Multiple-Choice tests.
We feel that Multiple-Choice tests play an important and a very useful supporting role in selfevaluation
or self-examination of our students.
Nonetheless, good Multiple–Choice Test Items are generally more complex and time-consuming to
create than other types of tests. It requires a certain amount of skill. However, this skill maybe
increases through study, practice and experience.
This paper discusses a number of issues related to the use of Multiple-Choice questions, lists the
advantages and disadvantages of this question format contrasting it with open questions. Some
examples are given in this context.
