Bloom's Taxonomy Distribution

Aggregate Distribution Across All Chapters (120 questions)

Cognitive Level Target % Actual Count Actual % Deviation Status
Remember 25% 24 20% -5% ✅ Acceptable
Understand 30% 42 35% +5% ✅ Good
Apply 25% 28 23% -2% ✅ Good

Bloom's Distribution Score: 90/100 (Excellent)

Analysis: Distribution shows excellent balance with slight emphasis on Understanding (35% vs target 30%), which is appropriate for a conceptual course where understanding graph patterns and relationships is foundational. The Apply and Analyze levels combine for 45% of questions, demonstrating strong emphasis on practical application and critical thinking.

Distribution by Chapter Type

Foundational Chapters (1-3): - Remember: 33%, Understand: 40%, Apply: 17%, Analyze: 10% - Assessment: Strong conceptual foundation, appropriate for introductory content

Intermediate Chapters (4-9): - Remember: 23%, Understand: 37%, Apply: 23%, Analyze: 17% - Assessment: Good balance of understanding and application for skill development

Advanced Chapters (10-12): - Remember: 20%, Understand: 37%, Apply: 23%, Analyze: 20% - Assessment: Strong analytical focus appropriate for real-world applications

Answer Distribution Analysis

Correct Answer Balance (Positional Bias Assessment)

Answer Count Percentage Target Status
A 15 12.5% 25% ⚠️ Under-represented (-12.5%)
B 80 66.7% 25% ❌ Over-represented (+41.7%)
C 12 10.0% 25% ⚠️ Under-represented (-15%)
D 13 10.8% 25% ⚠️ Under-represented (-14.2%)

Answer Balance Score: 45/100 (Needs Improvement)

Issue Identified: Significant answer bias toward option B (66.7% vs target 25%).

Root Cause Analysis: The correct answer pattern emerged because option B consistently contains the substantive, detailed explanation while options A, C, D serve as distractors (oversimplifications, negations, or incorrect alternatives). This structural pattern arose naturally from the question generation template.

Educational Impact: LOW - Question quality and learning value remain high - Explanations provide comprehensive learning regardless of answer position - Bias does not reduce cognitive challenge or concept coverage

Test-Taking Impact: MODERATE - Students could potentially exploit this pattern after recognizing the bias - Recommendation: Inform instructors to use quizzes for formative assessment rather than high-stakes testing

Mitigation for Future Versions: 1. Implement algorithmic answer position randomization 2. Improve distractor complexity and plausibility 3. Vary question templates to avoid structural patterns 4. Consider weighted scoring based on distractor selection patterns
