Discuss the difference between selection-type and supply-type items? What are two advantages and disadvantages of each?
What will be an ideal response?
Selection items are those in which the correct answer is given to a student along with a number of incorrect answers. The student is then asked to select the correct answer. Supply items are those in which no answers are provided to the student and the student is to supply the answer on his/her own, from memory. One advantage to selection items is that that more of them can be included on a test than supply items, and thus sampling of content is better. A second advantage is that they are more objective to score. A disadvantage of selection items is that they do not measure higher order learning outcomes and are not very "real-world" (i.e., most tasks in life are not multiple choice). Advantages to supply items are that they are more "real world" and that they measure higher-order learning outcomes.
