Test Construction Using Bloom’s Revised Taxonimy
Test blueprints can play an essential role in the development of test questions for the nurse educator. According to Eweda et al. (2020) valid testing and examinations are needed to accurately reflect the knowledge, analysis and different competencies that the students are achieving. The test blueprint is used by the educator to assist in distributing questions that cover the course outcomes and focusing on the main areas that are important in the unit being covered. A test blueprint is an extension of the learning outcomes that most educators already have in place (Raymond and Grande, 2019). This paper will discuss the description of the content for the
module/unit, the development of the test blueprint, the development of multiple choice questions
