| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to examine if answer column formats in a Japanese language comprehension test affects the high school students’ responses. The test was administered to 303 students. The two items having answer columns of two variations were used. In item 1, format A had less than 50 characters while format B had non-limiting answer length. In item 2, format A had less than 70 characters while format B had non-limiting answer length. Item analysis was conducted in this study. First, the results revealed that non-limiting answer length of item 1 had two condition responses which was required for the correct answer. Second, in item 2, non-limiting answer length led to a higher proportion of correct answers. The results of this study suggest the importance of examining test item formats.
