Does Question Type, Content And Gender Influence Student Understanding As Demonstrated In An Entrance Examination?, Ross Hudson, David Treagust
Does Question Type, Content And Gender Influence Student Understanding As Demonstrated In An Entrance Examination?, Ross Hudson, David Treagust
Dr Ross Hudson
The research inquires into the effectiveness of the two predominant forms of questions that are used on the State University Entrance examination for chemistry. These are multiple-choice questions and short-answer questions. This research examines the style of question but also the content type examined (recall and application questions) along with gender differences. The research involved an analysis of previous State University Examinations as well as class trial testing students of both genders on tests designed by the researcher. Rasch analysis of the class trial data was performed allowing comparison of question type and content performance as well as differential analysis …

Impaired Perceptual Judgement At Low Blood Alcohol Concentrations, Tim Friedman, S Robinson, G Yelland
Dr Tim Friedman
Males and females show different patterns of cognitive impairment when blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) are high. To investigate whether gender differences persist at low BACs, cognitive impairment was tested in 21 participants (11 female, 10 male) using a brief computerized perceptual judgment task that provides error rate and response time data. Participants consumed a measured dose of alcohol (average peak BAC: females: 0.052 g/100 mL, males: 0.055 g/100 mL), and were tested at four time points spanning both the rising and falling limbs of the BAC curve, in addition to a prealcohol time point. Comparisons were made against performance of …
