3. Definition of term The matching-type test is similar to the multiple-choice test. In this kind of test, the examinee associates an item in one column with a choice in the second column. 3 Measures the ability to identify the relationship between a set of similar items, each of which has two components, such as words and their definitions, symbols and their meanings, dates and events, causes and effects, people and their accomplishments, problems and solutions, etc. A “recognition” and “structured-response” type of test.

4. Premises column The column for which the match is right. the columns of matching type test Response column T he column from which to choose the match. 3

5. By convention, the items in Column A are numbered and the items in Column B are labeled with capital letters. 5 The items in the first column are called premises and the answers in the second columns are the responses

6. Guidelines in Constructing Matching Type 6

7. 7 Check your objectives to make sure this type of question is appropriate. Give clear directions or instructions. Use numbers to identify items in column A, capital letters to identify response in column B or vice versa. Include more responses than premises or allow responses to be used more than once or vice versa. Arrange items in column B in logical order or vice versa. Put the items with more words in column A. Be sure each item has a pair. Be careful about what material is put in the question column and what is put into the option column.

8. When to use Matching Type 8

9. 9 They are effective when you need to measure the learner’s ability to identify the relationship or association between similar items. They work best when the course content has many parallel concepts. • Terms and Definitions • Objects or Pictures and Labels • Symbols and Proper Names • Causes and Effects •Scenarios and Responses • Principles and Scenarios to which they apply

10. Advantages and Disadvantages

11. Advantage The matching-type test is simple to construct and score. It is well suited in measuring associations. Like a multiple-choice test, it presents the student with questions and alternatives. It reduces the effects of guessing, although the chance of guessing increases as the student progresses in answering items. This, however, is easily remedied by adding more options. 11

12. Disadvantage It tends to ask students to associate trivial information. Unfortunately, most matching-type tests emphasize memorization, although it is impossible to construct items that measure more complex cognitive skills. In case of commercial answer sheets, matching items can accommodate no more than five options. 12
