Abstract

This study is to determine the validity of using multiple choice questions for the Basic Christian Religious Certificate Examination in Enugu State. One research question and one hypothesis were formulated for the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population for the study consisted of Upper Basic 9 CRS students in all 291 secondary schools in Enugu State, who registered for BECE in 2015 and 2018. Three secondary schools were sampled from the three Local Government Areas that made up Enugu Education Zone. BECE question papers were administered to 300 students from the three schools drawn from the Enugu Education Zone. BECE question paper was the instrument used for data collection. The instrument was not face validated because it was a standardized test. Content validation was done using the Chi-square test of the Goodness-of-fit at an alpha level of 0.05. The major findings of the study showed that the BECE CRS multiple-choice questions of Enugu State Ministry of Education had low content validity. It was recommended that Enugu State Ministry of Education through the Examination Development Centre (EDC) should generate items in accordance with the specifications of the test blueprint.
