Dear Dana, I'm happy to see a new video from you. It's been a while... I've never heard the term "single choice question" before, neither in English nor in German. And I understood "multiple choice question" always as a question with a number of prerequisite answers to choose one or all correct answers from in contrast to an "open question" where you have to find and formulate the answer yourself. I'm looking forward to more videos ... CU twinmama

I'm native German and never heard of single choice question before. Actually the term multiple choice question gained popularity when I was almost about to end school. Before that we just used german words to describe it like "Ankreuz-Frage" (marking question, a gestion which you have to mark your answer). Multiple choice is (or was in my school time) a rare kind and we mostly had just to answer with our own words. So multiple choice questions for me are the opposite of thoose questions which you answer by writing a text by yourself and therefor also multiple choice questions means one or more correct answers to me.

Actually, these single choise questions really exist, but hardly anyone calls them that, because these are normal standard questions. Like, for example, these yes - no questions. Multiple choice question as a term was probably only introduced in the age of digitization and online questionnaires.

If people decide to make a difference between Multiple Choice and Single Choice, and other people understand what they mean by it, then it is not totally wrong.

Single choice sounds for me more like the typical german trick of creating new words from known vocabulary and in the end it is hoped everybody understands the same thing from this term.

Well, Dana, I'm glad to see you uploading videos here, again. You've been quiet on this channel for _ages._ I originally subbed to this channel, hoping to hear _German._ I'm actually not familiar with single-choice questions, but I would say that multiple-choice questions are questions with only _one_ answer. For example, I would point to a question I once placed on a local, dial-up BBS (that's how old I am). In your opinion, what's best for washing down potato salad? A) milk B) apple juice C) orange juice D) lemon-lime soda E) root beer F) cola G) add your own answer It was a fairly innocent question from a fairly innocent time in my life. I hadn't yet graduated from high school. But note the choice of words in the question. Not "what's _suitable_ for washing down potato salad," but "what's _best_ for" it. I came back to check on it, later, and a few people had chosen each of the available options, but someone had added the option, "more potato salad." Someone else had added, "potato salad's nasty." Kids. 🤷

In Computer-Programming-Languages there is specific distinction between these two: If you have "a single Choice" you would progam a so called group of radio buttons. As soon as you click on an other button (when one was already selected) the original selection get cancelled and the new selection is marked. (Graphic representation a white circle with a solid black dot in the middle if selected) If you have "multiple Choice(s)" you would program a so called group of check boxes, where you can check and uncheck any combination of options (Graphic representation a square with a X if selected)

I, as a native German, had first heard of Single Choice questions at university, until then I had also not differentiated between the two types. But I also talked about it with friends who studied at other universities and they all have slightly different ideas what the word means, if any. I would explain the name single vs multiple choice like this: It’s about the number of questions you have to ask yourself. In a single choice question the question is “WHICH ONE is correct?” while you need to ask yourself several questions when answering a multiple choice question, like “Is A correct? Is B correct? Is C correct? Etc.” (That’s why multiple choice questions suck. And there are so many different ways to grade them. Also, sometimes a question can be called multiple choice but there is still only one correct answer listed, that’s tricky.)

Runner beans, parsnips and green asparagus. They have since become available here in Germany. You are definitely overthinking the "multiple choice" thing. Just turn it around and call it "Question with a choice of multiple correct answers" and "question with a single correct answer choice". Multiple choice questions were unknown for most of my time at school. Towards the end they were being introduced and it was explained to us in great detail how to do them. We had to bring a 2B pencil and put the cross exactly in the square etc etc.

To me, there are always multiple options, but the options you choose to tick (aka "right answers") are either single or multiple. It all comes from the polysemic use of "choice", that includes "options" as a meaning. We often say "you have two choices" when we mean "you have ONE choice between TWO options."

Multiple Choice Question imply, that you have choose between multiple choices (either only a single one is valid or multiple ones from the selection) A Single choice would be just a single possible point to choose from. it might have been a weird choice to name a question where you don't choose options, but have to write down your answer.

@Opa_Andre Жыл бұрын

I think there are several aspects to multiple choice questions vs. single choice questions. For multiple choice questions, you are able to select one or more correct answers, while for single choice questions, if you select more than one answers you will fail. Thats the so called "logical" attempt. Technically speaking (like in IT programming) there is another approach. If you create a multiple choice question, you will do it using check boxes where the audience will be able to select several answers. For a single choice question instead, you will use radio buttons - thus limiting the audience to only be able to select one of the possible answers.

A "single choice question" (SCQ) is simply any question, that has _(apparently)_ only one correct answer to it. But that answer is NOT predefined. Having said that: I personally never heard the term "single choice question" being used anywhere. Because - again: it's just a "normal" question. And for that reason, nobody would call it a "SCQ". I'm assuming, it's probably a term that someone _(the writer of the article, that your husband read?)_ made up to have a _(similary worded)_ counterpart to the term "multiple choice question" (= a question with several predefined answers (of which one or more can be true)).

Hi, love the hair. So I am wondering if this is a case of computer/software programming language/thought process is leaking both into English and German. I too would have thought multiple choice meant pick one of the following before I started ‘programming’ something a few weeks ago. When programming I could chose different types of question (ie, yes/no, text/number…) and two of the types of questions was single choice or multiple choice. In programming they like to keep similar types of thing with a similar naming conventions so choice meant that choice meant that the answer is already there. Then the programmer would have to decide if they would want the user to select one answer (single) or multiple answers (multiple). Not sure if my ‘theory’ is correct (or understandable) but maybe?

It's multiple choice (or MCQ) if you have a list of options and you have to choose one or more of them. If you have a question where you have to write in one or a few words either to complete a sentence or just as an answer to a question then we call it a short answer question. If they expect a long, open-ended answer then we call it a free response question or FRQ.

One of my teachers used to give "multiple choice" questions with the last box always being "katz" = keine Antwort trifft zu (none of the answeres - given above - applies) - this saved my grades, because I could use "katz" a lot of times and then argue WHY it was correct - just a bunch of numbers without explanation what they stand for? (money, weight, size, volume, temperature) "katz"! There is this German saying "Es war alles für die Katz" (it was useless / the effords were in vain) Why did we bother?

Puh, ha Punktpunkt und ich dachte schon, du quatscht nicht mehr mit mir, weil ich dir erzählt habe, dass ich in deinen Playlists gestöbert habe.. Now I’m happy okay.. LOL! Du hast mir damit auch deine Frage gleich, nein meine Frage gleich beantwortet was rede ich denn Siri hör doch mal zu! Du bist also inzwischen auf deinem Turn durch Europa in Finnland gelandet wunderbar. Machst du über deine Touren auch mal Reise Videos? Finde ich wirklich toll oder wie man heute sagt, wie meine Tochter sagen würde: veryneis! Lach! Ich folge zwei Pärchen, die mit ihren Segelbooten unterwegs sind zum einen Anna und Marlene in einem Wort ohne , die zwei Jahre auf der Ostsee unterwegs waren oder fast drei. Und mittlerweile über Nordsee und Biskaya in Spanien angekommen sind und dann noch Blue Horizont, Englisch geschrieben natürlich. Da kommt dann richtig Sehnsucht auf. Ich bin zwar nur auf dem Ratzeburger See gesegelt, aber all diese Geräusche und die Handgriffe und so weiter sind mir natürlich vertraut. So, ich Grad schon wieder zu viel. Also ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn du Videos über deine Reise und über deine Erlebnisse machen würdest. Ich glaube, dass du das ganz toll kannst. Doch doch doch! so, Nightwish war mir in Hamburg zu teuer. Ich brauche eine Support Person. Und die Karten hätten mich 96 € × 2 gekostet. Meine Frau wollte gerne zum Depeche Mode Konzert. Wegen der neuen Platte. Sie kam aber wohl nicht nach Hamburg, sondern war nur in Berlin. Kartenpreise 120 €! Da würde ich also zwei von benötigen!. Nun hoffe ich, dass Band Maid nächstes Jahr nach Europa kommt. Und dass die Karten dann entsprechend billiger sind. Gut gehen! Weiterhin alles Gute auf deiner Fahrt, keine Ahnung, wo du jetzt noch hin willst. Aber ich bin sehr neugierig! Stay Safe and Halsey! Wenn

@@tasminoben686 Es war Floor die in Hamburg gespielt hatte.Das war auf ihrer Solo Tour. Nightwish habe ich jetzt in den letzten Tagen in Stockholm,Kitee und heute in Vaasa gesehen. Du bist bei mir wirklich nicht mehr auf dem neuesten Stand. Inzwischen bin ich offizielle Einwohnerin in Finnland,genauer gesagt im nord-westlichen Teil (Lappland). Hier habe ich mir eine Hütte im Nirgendwo gekauft und eigentlich sollte ich fleißig am umbauen sein. Hier wird dann meine Base und mein Studio sein. Mit den Reisevideos und YT ist dass so eine Sache - ich hatte es mir sogar einmal überlegt es zu machen um ein wenig zur Dieselkasse dazu zu verdienen. Andere You Tuber,die mich schon besser kennen,rieten mir aber davon ab,denn ich bin nicht der Typ der sich von irgendwem Regeln diktieren lässt. Was wiederum YT gar nicht gefallen würde. Vielleicht setze ich mich mal in der kommenden Polarnacht hin und schneide ein ein bis zwei Stunden Video zusammen und stelle es dann in Teilen rein - mal sehen wie es sich ergibt. Halt die Ohren steif und gib deiner Siri mal was anderes zu futtern.👋 cu soon

Hi, a single choice question for me is there is only one correct answer out of multiple answers to choose from. It always has been for me as a german. And a mutiple choice question is where one or more answers are correct. Also as you've said "all the answers that apply". (hopefully my english here is correct.) 😅 I don't know why but for some reason I do not get any notifications when you upload videos anymore. It has been a long time since I've watched your videos. I guess I'll have to catch up a lot of stuff now. greetings

I had never heard of "single choice" questions, before today, either. That being said, however, I did wonder if, perhaps, they would be the "choose the one correct answer from this list..." type of multiple choice.

Programmers/Coders call the field for a "single choice" as "Radio Button". They call "mutible choise" as "Checkbox". In German coding books the terms are normaly not translated. A few call the "Radio buttons" as "exclusive checkbox".

What you've expirienced is a common phenomenom: A word that is used differently in techical language than in every day language. An example in German would be "Lampe" in every day language a lightbulb is a "Glühbirne" and the device you screw it in is a "Lampe" in technical language a lightbulb is a "(Glüh)lampe" and the device you screw it in is a "Leuchte"

Living in Germany, I‘ve never heard the phrase „choose all that apply“. I think I‘ve heard or read „more than 1 answer possible“.

@user-sm3xq5ob5d Жыл бұрын

Never heard of it, too. I thought that single choice would be where the answer was yes/no or agree/not agree. So you had to choose between these two possibilities.

In teacher college training college in one course, the difference between multiple choice question and single choice questions were taught. I've never heard it before or ever since. BTW, it's like you've expected. SCQ you can only choose one answer; MCQ you can choose multiple answers.

I think the term „choice“ means selecting something. It does not refer to the options you select from. It is used incorrectly in the term „multiple choice question“, but, since everybody has been doing it for long in English-speaking countries, only non-native speakers notice

There are more words being used differently in an other language. For example the word "Conducteur" is in Dutch language the train guard. Exactly the same word in the French language is the train driver. A train guard in the French language is a controleur.

Instead of using the word, “choice” substitute “answer”. (zB: single “answer” question. Multiple “answer” question.) Does that help?

I have never heard before the word "single choice question", neigher in German, or in English, nor in French. It would make only sense to me if someone would ask me: What is the best youtube channel in the world? Then there would be only one choice: Wanted Adventure. Or, different example: Who looks with a haircut prettier than before, although this isn't possible, cause she was already super pretty? There is only one choice...

I'm German and (by now) know both terms, though during my own time at school no one used them but 'Ankreuzaufgabe' (as some other people mentioned before); there was a graphical distinction though, for the questions with multiple correct answers would have a square at the beginning of each option whereas those questions with only one correct answer would have a circle instead. Also like that, there wasn't any hint in the instruction how many answers were correct bc it was obvious due to the squares and circles. Entering university and starting my studies to become a teacher myself, I learned both terms - and many others in order to have a large variety of question types =D
