Florence Kyaruzi , Kingtin Kisamo
Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are highly used in assessing students’ learning outcomes due to their versatility in promoting test content validity. Nevertheless, teachers experience psychometric challenges in constructing quality MCQs. This study investigated primary school teachers’ competence in constructing quality MCQs in Dar es Salaam Region, Tanzania. Specifically, we examined teachers’ competence in constructing quality MCQs, analyzed the types of item-writing flaws (IWFs) found in teacher-made MCQs, and examined the challenges that teachers encounter in constructing quality MCQs. The study was guided the by classical test theory (CTT) and it employed a mixed-method research approach. In particular, data collection and analysis were conducted using a concurrent triangulation design. A total of 213 MCQs constructed by 20 teachers from ten primary schools were collected and analyzed. The results indicated that primary school teachers were less competent in constructing quality MCQs as 156 (73.2%) of the teacher-made MCQs assessed lower levels of Bloom’s cognitive domain. Similarly, most of the MCQs had IWFs, with 274 (69.2%) having test wiseness flaws and 122 (30.8%) having irrelevant difficulty flaws. The findings call for capacity building to promote teachers’ competence in constructing quality test items.

Teachers’ acceptance of technology in the teaching setting is significantly influenced by their behavioral intention to utilize information and communication technology (ICT). A considerable amount of study has been done on the use of ICT in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). Nevertheless, there exists a significant lack of deep studies among EFL teachers in Chinese vocational colleges. Drawing on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) theoretical frameworks, this current study aimed to ascertain whether EFL teachers’ TPACK levels could predict their intention to adopt ICT. A quantitative study was conducted with the participation of 440 EFL instructors from vocational schools in Shandong Province. The seven components met the scale’s validity and reliability requirements and the partial least squares (PLS) approach was utilized to describe the structural model and examine the relationships among significant components. The findings revealed that EFL teachers’ perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), and attitudes towards use (ATCU) significantly impacted their behavioral intention to use (BIU) ICT. Moreover, the TPACK framework exerted a substantial influence on their acceptance of ICT. The study’s findings may provide insights and resources for subsequent theoretical research and teaching approaches centered on enhancing the integration of technology in EFL education.
