Top answer

Hi, what is the best source to choose a contextualized stem? The problem with sources is that you don't have space to quote, for example, a whole paragraph, so the context tends to get lost. The student ends up trying to create his own mental context, which may not be the one that you were thinking of when you created the test.

  • Another problem with sources is you need to find situations that are part of the student's cultural background.
  • For example, questions dealing with cars may not be appropriate in a country where few people actually have cars.
