Multiple-choice? In the management classroom?!: What high-stakes professional testing can teach us about refining our question-writing

The use of multiple-choice testing in the undergraduate classroom has proven both ubiquitous and polarizing. Despite over a century of validation research, detractors still argue that this form of testing fails to assess more than students' rote memorization. However, multiple-choice testing continues to be successfully deployed in professional credentialling (including in business and management contexts), where it is trusted to serve a public protection role. This interactive workshop focuses on disseminating the processes and best practices used in high-stakes professional testing to develop fair, valid, and defensible multiple-choice exams.
