Acceptance by Undergraduates of the Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique for Multiple-Choice Testing
DiBattista, David; Mitterer, John O.; Gosse, Leanne
Teaching in Higher Education, v9 n1 p17-28 Jan 2004
Undergraduates completed a questionnaire after using the Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique (IFAT), a commercially available answer form for multiple-choice (MC) testing that can be used easily and conveniently with large classes. This simple new technique for MC testing provides immediate feedback for each item in an answer-until-correct format and permits the earning of partial credit when the student's initial response is incorrect. Reaction to the IFAT was extremely positive, with students saying it was easy to use and contributed to their learning, and they indicated a strong desire to use the IFAT for all MC tests. Liking for the IFAT was not related to either personal characteristics or test performance variables, indicating that it has broad appeal to students.
