Extended Response Essay Type Items

 An essay-type item that allows the student to determine the length and complexity of the response is called an extended-response essay item. This type of essay is most useful at the synthesis or evaluation levels of the cognitive domain. We are interested in determining whether students can organize, integrate, express, and evaluate information, ideas, or pieces of knowledge when the extended response items are used.

Example:

 Identify as many different ways to generate electricity in Pakistan as you can? Give the advantages and disadvantages of each. Your response will be graded on its accuracy, comprehension, and practical ability. Your response should be 8-10 pages in length and it will be evaluated according to the RUBRIC (scoring criteria) already provided.

Overall Essay type items (both types of restricted response and extended response) are

Good for:

 • Application, synthesis, and evaluation levels Types:

• Extended response: synthesis and evaluation levels; a lot of freedom in answers

• Restricted response: more consistent scoring, outlines parameters of responses

 Advantages:

• Students less likely to guess

 • Easy to construct

 • Stimulates more study

 Allows students to demonstrate an ability to organize knowledge, express opinions, and show originality.

Disadvantages:

• Can limit the amount of material tested, therefore has decreased validity.

 • Subjective, potentially unreliable scoring.

• Time-consuming to score.

Tips for Writing Good Essay Items:

• Provide reasonable time limits for thinking and writing.

 • Avoid letting them answer a choice of questions (You won't get a good idea of the broadness of student achievement when they only answer a set of questions.)

• Give definitive tasks to compare, analyze, evaluate, etc.

• Use a checklist point system to score with a model answer: write an outline, determine how many points to assign to each part

• Score one question at a time at the same time.
