The Value of Choice: An Experiment Using Multiple‐Choice Tests Aray Casanova, Henry Ali Pedauga, Luis This article presents a novel experimental methodology in which groups of students were offered the option to choose between two equivalent scoring rules to assess a multiple-choice test. The effect of choosing the scoring rule on marks is tested. Two major contributions arise from this research. First, it contributes to the literature on the value of choice. Second, it also contributes to the literature on the educational measurement of knowledge. The results suggest that choice could positively affect students' scores. However, students need to learn to choose the assessment method. Moreover, women seem to obtain greater benefits from the option of choosing the scoring rule. 2024-01-22T12:30:29Z 2024-01-22T12:30:29Z 2019 journal article https://hdl.handle.net/10481/87093 10.1111/emip.12258 eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ embargoed access Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Wiley
