Commentary:
The questions were generally clear, especially from year 8 students. Only about
50 percent of questions from year 4 students were judged relevant, compared
to about 75 percent from year 8 students. However, a lower proportion of
year 8 than year 4 students generated questions judged likely to produce
a substantial amount of really useful information about the image. |
