Essay Test Questions
An essay question is a measure of what a student knows as well as a measure of writing ability. Whereas other question types may be better at measure knowledge and facts, because of the open-ended nature of an essay question, essay questions can be more effective measuring more complex, higher levels of understanding than other question types.
Two Types of Essay Questions
1. Restricted-Response Essay Questions limit both the content and the response.
Example restricted-response question:
Why is the barometer one of the most useful instruments for forecasting weather? Answer in a brief paragraph.
Examples of the complex learning outcomes that can be measured with restricted-response essay questions:
o Explain cause-effect relationships.
o Describe applications of principles.
o Present relevant arguments.
o Formulate tenable hypotheses.
o Formulate tenable conclusions.
2. Extended-Response Essay Questionsallow students to organize and answer the question with their best judgment, selecting any factual information they think pertinent, and integrating and evaluating ideas as they see appropriate
Example extended-response question:
Describe the influence of Mendel's laws of heredity on the development of biology as a science.
Examples of the complex learning outcomes that can be measured with extended-response essay questions:
o Produce, organize, and express ideas.
o Integrate learning from different areas.
o Create original form.
o Summarize
o Explain concepts or principles.
o Construct stories, logical trails and/or arguments to persuade a reader.
