Designing A Generating System Multiple Choice Questions

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to build a system of generating questions that can make as many questions as possible. The Generating System of this Problem can be used starting from elementary/middle/high school/higher education level with the type of choice questions that have 3 components, namely the problem, choice and completion. In order for the system to function properly, a template is needed for the three components above that can identify the needs of variables that might appear on a problem. Several variables are obtained from the identification of the results, namely: Numerical Variables, String Variables, Image Variables. Templates needed on the system are 3 templates, namely the template, template selection and completion template. All those three contain text, variables and identification tags. Variables that are permitted in this template are Numerical Variables, String Variables and Image Variables. While the identification tags that are permitted are numerical [var] numeric [/var]; variable tag string [str]collectname[/str]; the variable tag image [img]filename[/img], the tag tocalculate [eval]equation[/eval] to be executed and generating the value and tag equation [equ]equation[/equ]that will be displayed as an equation. It was found in the result of the implementation that one template able to build hundreds/thousands of questions, combination of choices and the completion of each question.
