Greater use of old examination
questions in testing the knowledge
of college and university students
is urged by Dr. B. C. Hendricks of
the department of chemistry, who
with Dr. B. H. Handorf of Park
college, Parkville, Mo., has an
article on examination practices
published in the Journal of Chemi
cal Education.
"Many teachers believe that it 13
better to formulate a new question
rather than to reuse one which ex
perience has shown to be a good
one," they state. "Examination
questions, however, may be edited
for use much as textbooks may be
improved by revision. If certain
specific questions give reliable
evidence of student understanding
and achievement then those ques
tions, like a thermometer, may
profitably be used more than once
for measurement. Experience is
generally considered valuable, evvn
when the results are negative."
Dr. Hendricks and Dr. Handorf,
who have made a detailed study
of examination question prepared
by hundreds of college professors
over the nation, suggest two
methods for improving the written
test. ,
Instructors, they point out,
might send their best questions to
a central office where they could
be copied and made available to all
teachers, or graded examination
papers might be submitted along
with & copy of the questions so
that validity indices could be de
termined for each question. By
making greater use of evaluated
questions, educators would know
better what results to expect from
their students.
terial will be of special interest to
Nebraskans, because it represents
fragments of meteors that have
fallen in the state in recent years.
