Sažetak
The aim of the tool presented in this study is to enable teachers’ qualitative analysis of the questions within the Croatian state written exam in biology, and the eventual correction of the questions before their application in the student assessment. We have identified the two basic categories that determine the question quality: 1) the importance of questions (regarding the profession, life, curriculum, critical thinking), and 2) the influence of questions on students’ answers (i.e., type, shape and intelligibility of the questions as well as logical reasoning and further learning path in relation to the students’ answers). The tool we have developed was tested for its effectiveness on a sample exam designed for students aged 13. A correlation between logical reasoning and the “importance-of-questions” categories, and the success rate of the exam was observed. This simple tool has proven to be effective for both teachers’ self-assessment and peer evaluation.
