Differential Effects of Question Formats in Math Assessment on Metacognition and Affect.

O'Neil, Harold F., Jr.; Brown, Richard S.

Applied Measurement in Education, v11 n4 p331-51 1998

The effect of item format on metacognitive and affective processes of children in a large-scale mathematics assessment program were studied. Results from 1032 eighth graders indicate that open-ended and multiple choice items have differential effects, although these did not vary substantially as a function of gender and ethnicity. (SLD)
