What's wrong with this one? Check it out.....

This entry now will tell you what's wrong with some kind of matching items
as all of you have read before, it is not easy to construct this items so hey, chill and let's take a look first...
click on the picture to enlarge, thank you :)

Example 1 : 
















see, you might view this as normal matching items but, for a second thought the main errors in this item are : 
*Directions about how to handle choices in Column B are unclear.

          *The responses are not homogeneous. That is, answers for 1, 2,                  and 4 are obvious, leaving only the two cities as choices for 3.




Example 2 : 













  • The instruction given is not clear, as what student needs to do with this matching set.
  • The answers in column B is not homogenous. Some of the distractors in second column are not related with the questions.









Example 3 : 
















and take a look at example 3, what do you think? I'd say that this one is a good example of matching sets. Why? Please read below.... ><


  • Items that have been used shared the same foundation of information. 

  • The answers in second column are short and easy to match. 
  • The distractors are homogeneous.
  • The instruction is clear.
  • The stimuli column gives the correct clues / questions.
