students  must  write  a  computational  equation,  define  terms,  list  part  names  and  functions,  and the  like.  The  disadvantage  is  that  it  is  more  difficult  to  score  and  must  be  accompanied  by grading  criteria. Test   Item   Format You  can  construct  completion  items  using  three  basic  formats: n  Students  supply  the  word  or  phrase  that  completes  the  statement. EXAMPLE:   The   station   clock   and   time   display   tests   check   the   performance   of   the individual  stages  of  the  register  designated  .  .  . n  The  student  provides  a  definition,  term,  formula  or  similar  response  to  a  question. EXAMPLE:  What  is  the  name  of  the  unit  that  detects  angular  motion  and  supplies  an output   through   precession? n  The  student  supplies  a  list  of  procedures,  steps,  and  so  forth,  from  memory.  This  type  of test  item  may  be  expressed  in  question  or  statement  form. EXAMPLE  OF  STATEMENT  FORM:  In  the  space  below,  list  in  order  the  steps  for placing  the  GA  in  stowage. EXAMPLE   OF   A   QUESTION   FORM:   What   are   the   steps   for   performing   a   MARDAN maintenance   test? Test   Item   Construction Use   the   following   guidelines   when   constructing   completion   items: n   Word   the   test   item   clearly   and   comprehensively   enough   to   allow   a   student   who   is knowledgeable  in  the  subject  area  to  answer  correctly. n    Make  sure  the  missing  segment  of  the  incomplete  statement  item  is  important,  such  as  a key  element  of  a  process  or  a  piece  of  equipment. n    In  incomplete  statement  items,  do  not  omit  too  many  words  or  the  statement  will  become unclear   and   force   students   to   guess. n    In  incomplete  statements,  make  sure  the  response  position  appears  near  or  at  the  end  of the  stem.  Items  with  the  response  position  near  the  beginning  are  harder  to  read  and  take longer  to  answer. n    Provide  sufficient  space  on  the  answer  sheet  for  students  to  enter  their  response. n    Use  a  direct  question  to  test  for  comprehension  of  technical  terms  or  knowledge  of definitions. 81
