Discovering Relevances

Four MCQ principles

Finding Out Understandable Reason(s) is what I have figured out FOUR means, and that is due to my recent MOOC experiences with answering to a hobbylike amount of Multiple Choice Questions. In order to learn properly, one has to provide an argument for all the choices comes forth in the tasks. Simple, but not self-evident, and needs sometimes lots of Immersing Oneself IN!

  1. Finding - to look for meaning, relevance, truth, importance
  2. Out - to sort out distractors, non relevances / relative subjects
  3. Understandable - to be able to comprehend the fact - a non opinion
  4. Reason(s) - why, what for? - the glimps of lights, intellectual interactiveness

The interest lies in the exchange of arguments, in the not so visible social connection of human brains. Due to the "FOUR's" unity to learning its interactivity is meaningful and full of expectations. What matters in the productiveness of sharing knowledge is the prospect and presence of individual thinking - the essence of humanity. The characteristical, emotional keyword is thus positiveness, because it is the representant of possibilities.

Good way to give push-aid to the learning is to use correct, clear language without negatives. How to do learner-friendly multible choice questions was nicely expressed by Karen Turnbull and Peter Green in Becoming a ConfTrnr MOOC video. Thanks to that, I have been able to confront different kind's of MCQs with relevant information support.
In conclusion: the proposed solution / the clear meaning should become visible in task's all levels, so that learning is possible also via distractors. The mood hooks being involved even when there is no learning yet. When tasks seems to be difficult and reachable in the same time - the suitable activation wins gradually space for development. Every significant encounter leaves memory prints, you know!
