ABSTRACT

The Multi-Digit (MDT) testing procedure is a ne addition tocomputer scored testing and is fully compatible with multiplechoice and true/false tests. It is especially well suited forthe testing of discreet terms and concepts suCh as in fill-in-theblank examinations. The student reads the question and selectstfte appropriate response from an alphabetically organized,lengtily list on which each term is numered. With three-digitnumbers, there can be up to 999 items on a list, far too many forany student to peruse in an attempt to recognize the correctanswer. The student is required to recall the correct answer,locate it on the alphabetical list and then place the code numberon the computer readable answer sheet. Actual MDT lists formajor Criminal Justice terms and concepts are provided in thispaper which also explains how to put the MUlti-Digit testinginnovation into immediate practical use for the teaching of theIntroduction to Criminal Justice courses on any campus.

INTRODUCTICN

Teaching a course on the Introduction to Criminal Justice ScLmc@s

requires a variety of evaluation techniques in order to assess the

students' learning in the various components of that course. The

higher order forms of learning which require synthesis and

evaluation by the students are traditional17 tested with essay

tests or single paragraph answers. Important as that element of

testing is, essays are not the best method for determining if the

students have mastered the basic factual information which is

essential for anyone to have a firm grasp on the topic of

Criminal justice Sciences. Tb determine that knowledge professors

commonly utilize multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank tests.

The multiple choice method has the obvious disadvantage of

encouraging recognition, the elimination of alternatives, and

outright guessing. It is hard to imagine that someone would not

pick out the term'from a selection of five names. Furthermore,

the onus is on the professor to devise the four wrong answers

(foils) that are supposed to have a reasonable likelihood of

being selected if the student does not recognize the correct

answer. The result is that students frequently avoid the full

learning of essential factual information in a course, whether

introductory or at an advanced level; because they are good

at recognition and the elimination of foils.

. It is much more difficult to recall from memory and write

down specific answers. Recall requires that the information be

learned better: Therefore, considering that some of that factual

informtion should become part of the basic knowledge of an

educated person, professors sometimes opt for tests where one or

2

Page 4: Multi-Digit (MDT) Testing in the Teaching of Criminal Justice Sciences

two word answers must be written. The questions are actually

easier to write than those of a multiple choice test because no

alternative answers are required. The major difficulty with such

fill-in-the-blank style tests is that the professor must be

willing to devote significant time to their grading, especially

if mastery learning is desired. Wbat would.be useful is'a

computer scored fill-in-the-blank style test of terms and

concepts about Criminal JUstice Sciences that could be quickly

qenerated and graded, complete with statistical analyses. Then

the essential learning can be required and tested while freeing

the professor for essay scoring, student advisement, research and

other activities more productive than manual test scoring.

The Multi-Digit (MDT) testing innovation is a computer scored

approximation of a fill-in-the-blank test. It is ideally suited

for the evaluation (and stimulation) of learning of the factual

information essential to a course such as the Introduction to

Criminal Justice Sciences. Not only does it make the test

scoring faster, it also makes the formulation of the test

questions extremely easy and, according to recent research

discussed in the next section, contributes to improved student

learning during the semester and greater retention even after

the conclusion of the course. With fast computer scoring of

quickly generated tests which require student recall rather than

recognition, a professor can more easily specify the level of

competence required from the students. In that way, any stu&mt

w,ho does not meet that minimum requirement can be given

additional tests until that requirement is met. The MDT

materials included in the appendix of this paper permit such a

3

4

Page 5: Multi-Digit (MDT) Testing in the Teaching of Criminal Justice Sciences

learning requirement to be specified by the professor in a course

on Criminal Justice Sciences.

The Multi-Digit method requires the student to select the

desired answer from very long lists of alternative responsess.

In the answer sheet format shown in the appendix, the three-digit

responses mean that up to 999 alternative answers can be on a

single list. (Two-digit and four-digit versions are being deve-

loped.) Those lists of responses need only be prepared once or

maybe revised at the beginning of each course. In the case of

Introduction to Criminal Justice Sciences, the initial long lists

that could be used by any professor are provided in the

appendices of this paper; they are sufficient for literally

thousands of questions. In other words, there is no need for the

professor to be concerned with the incorrect alternative answers

if the correct term for a given question is found on one of the

lists. There are many ways of phrasing questions which would

utilize these long lists of answers. Furthermore, the MDT

innovation will accomodate numeric answers of three digits.

BACKGROUND AND RESEARCH

The Multi-Digit long list testing method was first

conceptualized in the fall of i982 by Dr. Anderson, co-author of

this paper. It has subsequently been used for seven consecutive

semesters with over 700 students in a course on Wbrld Regional

Geography. It is currently being used in the discipline:: of home

economics, art appreciation, m:Ithematics, history, military

science, English, political science, earth science, computer

programming and chemistry. Instructors have created lists for

4

5

Page 6: Multi-Digit (MDT) Testing in the Teaching of Criminal Justice Sciences

their sUbject matter and have used it in the classroom with

several thousand university students. In addition, the largest

single course to use the method has 1200 criminal justice

students this semester, under the coordination of Diane

Alexander, a co-author of this paper.

Because of the almost complete elimination of guessing on

the Multi-Digit method in comparison to traditional multiple choice

tests, the students' scores may be generally lower on an MDT

test. There may also be a wider spread from the very lowest

score to the highest score attained by students. Both of those

characteristics can be advantageous to the professor. The

traditionally accepted percentages of 90% and above being an A

should not be applied to the MDT testing situations unless

the professor intentionally modifies the examination material so

that there are sufficient easy questions to allow the attainment

of the specified percentages. In all cases, the individual

professor remains independent and in charge Of his or her

particular class.

One of the key questions in evaluating this new testing

technique concerns whether the students learned and retained more

than they would have if studying for a traditional multiple

choice test. Exploratory researdh conducted by Anderson, Hill,

Naim and walters (1985a) with nearly 200 students enrolled in

WOrld Geography, revealed that students who study for a fill-in-

the-blank test or a Multi-Digit long list test retain more of

their learninc at the end of the semester than do students who

studied the same material for a multiple dhoice test with five

5

6

Page 7: Multi-Digit (MDT) Testing in the Teaching of Criminal Justice Sciences

alternative answers. These results are exacqy as hypothesized.

Furthermore, when students gain more familiarity with the MDT

method, their results are expected to become even more similar to

the greater learning and retention of the fill-in-the-blank method.

MET Test Construction

Lists of terms preferably for the entire course should be

constructed prior to the first test using the MDT format. The

lists (see appendix) can be divided into different subject areas

such as terms and concepts, names, amendMents, places, court

cases, professional:organizations and agencies. The subject

areas with fed terms should be grouped together to increase the

requirement of recall and reduce recognition. All of these lists

could be combined into one. Sample lists for textbooks by Cole

and Inciardi are attached to this paper.

Terms for the lists may be Pooled from numerous sources,

including glossaries and indexes. Terms from personal notes

should also be included to cover specific lecture material. As a

final resource, student study guides and instructor's manuals

usually list key terms and concepts.

Test questions using responses on the MDT list need to be

constructed with some caution. Questions should not have

multiple possible answerS on the list. An example, if the terms

law enforcement and police are both on the list, there could be

two correct answers for hastily prepared questions. The

development of questions also involves a consciousness of the

time required to answer the test because of the extra sheet of

paper plus more marks to fill in. Students generally take

6

7

Page 8: Multi-Digit (MDT) Testing in the Teaching of Criminal Justice Sciences

slightly longer to answer this style of questions. However, fewer

questions are needed because of the increased academic rigor of

recall. A short demonstration test early in the semester will

provide the students with an in-depth understanding of the MDT

answer format rnethc7 lleviate "test anxiety" and mental

blocks caused by the ;:wness of the testing procedure.

The pre-test also is an indicator to the students of the

increased amount of studying time required to prepare for this

test procedure.

Test Results

Computer programs for the grading of MDT tests provide sub-

total scores for groups of questions and for each style of scores

to be prepared on both the tests using MDT lists and any other

format questions (ie: essay, MDT long list, multiple.choice and

true/false). This allows for the student to compare results and

also detect weaknesses in study habits. .Further computer

generated results also indicate to the student their actual word

answers as well as the correct 'answers because each term is in

the computer under its code number. This feature helps the

students clarify any misconceptions of the definitions or usage

of description terms or concepts. Further explanations of the

MDT method are in the book The MDT Educational Innovation

(Anderson, 1936).

Conclusions

The use of MDT in Criminal Justice Sciences can be rewarding

to tha instructor as well as the student. In introductory

courses, such as the one at ISU, this testing format reduces

7

8

Page 9: Multi-Digit (MDT) Testing in the Teaching of Criminal Justice Sciences

cheating, facilitates question generation (although the lists can

stay the same) so that tests can easily be changed from term to

term, and provides an outlet for in-depth testing to instructors

in both large lecture halls and small classrooms. Approximatley

1500 Introduction to Criminal Justice Sciences Courses students

nave taken the test and admitted it is harder but it encourages

better study skills and negates "all-nighters" performed the day

before the test. There has been a substantial increase in the

number of students taking advantage of seminars, small groups and

test review since the change to this form of testing.

At Illinois State University, the students and faculty have

found positive results from this testing, not only in the area of

criminal Justice but also in other disciplines. Upper

level courses as well as introductory courses are able to provide

the student with the educational benefits of a fill-in-the-blank

test without the time of manual grading.
