True/False question type (Moodle Quiz)

The True/False question is a form of multiple-choice question that provides students with only two options for answering a question: True or False. The content of these questions should include text, and may also include multimedia, such as images, audio, or video. 

Why?

True/False questions are easy to use and can help educators in assessing students' baseline knowledge, recall, and understanding before delving into more complex concepts of a topic. This question type is also valuable for identifying common misconceptions among students, providing insights that can inform planning and subject delivery to meet the needs of students.

The limitations of the True/False question format include an incentive for students to guess, with a 50% probability of correctly guessing, and primarily focus on lower-order cognitive tasks such as recall and comprehension. 

How?

Question design considerations

When creating True/False questions, it's crucial to use clear and precise language. This ensures that students' answers reflect their knowledge of the subject matter rather than their interpretation of how the question is phrased.
