<h1 class="style1">Choose Topic</h1>
<p class="style1">The GCI currently covers a very limited set of geoscience concepts. We encourage new authors to cover any topic that they think is important in their courses or research, and which can be broadly construed as important to geoscience or Earth systems understanding.</p>

<h1 class="style1">Identify Alternative Conceptions</h1>
<p class="style1">As much as possible, test questions should be embedded in the experience of the testing population. This means that incorrect response options (&quot;distracters&quot;), and stems if appropriate, should originate from interaction with the target population. Alternative conceptions held by the target population can be identified through research or review of the existing research literature. The GCI WebCenter team is also compiling a database of identified alternative conceptions that authors can use in the future.</p>

<p class="style1">The original GCI was developed to meet the needs of the faculty and scholars within our community. Community input on the content, construction, review, and dissemination of the GCI questions will ultimately result in a bank of questions that effectively meets a diversity of needs. All users, authors, and interested parties are encouraged to comment on existing GCI questions, as well as those that have just entered the peer review process.</p>

<p class="style1">We hope to have the GCI WebCenter available for online testing of students by Fall 2009. This online testing mechanism will allow us to collect student responses to new GCI questions, and will provide the diverse data set needed to statistically validate new questions. Look here for opportunities to sign up your course for this online function.</p>

<h1 class="style1">Write Question</h1>
<p class="style1">Questions should be developed based upon existing and research-based standards in multiple-choice question development. Some of these standards are universal, and described in the question development guidebook. Other rules will depend upon the test construction theory driving the work. For example, identification of co-existing ideas about a single concept might be addressed through use of items with multiple response options (&quot;choose all that apply&quot; items). In classical test theory, items with multiple response options are generally discouraged as they are generally more difficult and troublesome to score. Partial credit item response theory models, on the other hand, can easily address scoring concerns related to this type of item.</p>
