The impact of the type of questions asked in continuous assessment on students’ outcomes

Main Article Content

Abstract

This study’s objective is to find the impact of the type of questions asked in assessments on students’ results and to measure their capacity of synthesis. Also, we had analysed students’ answer related to exercise that is a part of the subject of the first control about thermochemistry concerning the first university level science of chemistry subject in 2014. The recorded results show that when useful figures are designed in enunciations, students have ability to move easily to the next stages and could find out easily adequate answers, but when the question is without indication, students are lost in the choice of the figures that are part of the exercise. This problem is concerning the majority of students in different levels. These results push us to prepare lecture for subjects of the national exam Bac: mathematics, chemistry and physics as well as tests and interviews to have an access to high schools in Morocco.
