The TAG (Theory Advisory Group) is pleased to offer an item-writing workshop to all CIECA members. The main objective of the workshop is to provide training on how to develop good exam questions, and to help understand the reason behind the election of certain types of items when constructing tests for the theoretical test to obtain a driving license.
The workshop is relevant for all professionals who want to learn to develop and refine test items, and for those seeking a refresher course and an opportunity to learn new skills.
As always, the TAG aims to organize a very active workshop where participants:
- benefit from a thorough review of item-writing guidelines and engage in a dynamic item-writing session.
- write items in groups and provide feedback within and across other groups.
The agenda will include a review of item writing guidelines, a comparison of test construction and item writing in a number of TAG organizations, a dynamic item-writing session, and the opportunity to interact with CIECA members on this issue.
Fee: This members' only event is free-of-charge.
