Processing Responses to Open‐ended Survey Questions

Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER)

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

In this chapter, Ross Turner discusses the challenges associated with the consistent assessment of responses that students generate when answering questions other than multiple-choice items. The methods described take into account the increased difficulty of this task when carried out in an international setting. Examples are given of the detailed sets of guidelines which are needed to code the responses and the processes involved in developing and implementing these guidelines.
