BELTRAO, KAIZÔ IWAKAMI  y  MANDARINO, MONICA CERBELLA FREIRE. ANALYSIS OF THE MULTIPLE CHOICE ITEMS OF THE ENADE 2016 TESTS. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.34, e07951.  Epub 07-Feb-2023. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v34.7951.

The objective was to investigate whether the format of an item, the required cognitive level and the item’s position in the Enade 2016 test affect the results, including the probability of invalidation. The items were classified according to format and cognitive level, based on the literature and Bloom’s Taxonomy. Post-test administration measures were used: difficulty and discrimination indices. Regarding format, it was found that assertion- -reason items were more difficult, single answer items had a slightly greater average for discrimination capacity, and one third of the assertion-reason items were invalidated. As for cognitive level, the two indices have lower averages in items of analysis, and the proportion of invalidated items of this level is higher. The hypothesis that the position of an item in the test affects the result was rejected.
