Diagnostic Analysis Software(2004)	Test Analysis Files for IPS and FM&E

Diagnostic Analysis software analyzes multiple-choice questions for Introductory Physical Science (IPS) and Force, Motion, and Energy (FM&E) Chapter Tests. This enables teachers to gain valuable insight into the root of their students' mistakes. In addition, Diagnostic Analysis software can be applied to a teacher’s own multiple-choice questions.

Schools that currently use either the IPS or the FM&E Assessment Package will receive a set of Test Analysis Files free of charge with the purchase of Diagnostic Analysis.

• Diagnostic Analysis by Uri Haber-Schaim and Robert Stair is available for both Windows and Macintosh operating systems (pre-OS X and OS X) and comes with user-friendly documentation and guidelines for writing sound multiple choice questions.

• Diagnostic Analysis analyzes student test responses and then produces a variety of reports that will allow the teacher to help students overcome their difficulties by diagnosing the roots of their errors.

• Diagnostic Analysis provides a Class Results report that lists the results for the entire class. This report lists each student, the credit received by that student on each question, the student's total score, and the class average.

• The Class Report lists responses by question rather than by student. The number of students selecting each response is noted, as well as the number of times the question was skipped and the answer was left blank. An asterisk indicates the correct answer. This format allows the teacher to quickly distinguish between guessing (responses distributed across the possible choices) and widely held misunderstandings (a large number of responses in one or two incorrect choices).

• A Summary Report prints a listing of the plausible reasons for incorrect answer choices made by 10% or more of the class.

• Diagnostic Analysis also produces an Individual Student Report that analyzes the performance of individual students. This report contains all the student’s answers, along with the relevant diagnostic comments. This report can be very helpful in discussions with individual students and their parents.

The knowledge of how many students selected certain diagnostic responses aids both short- and long-term instructional planning. It allows the teacher to immediately decide how to discuss the test most effectively, while also providing guidance on future instruction.

In a typical school, time is at a premium. The time required to perform a manual analysis leading to the production of the reports cited above is greater than most teachers can devote to this task. Diagnostic Analysis allows you to print test answer forms on regular paper, and it provides you with a fast analysis of the test results WITHOUT the expense of specialized forms and expensive equipment.

+ Prices do not include shipping & handling and any applicable sales tax.
