Evaluating Secondary Students’ Scientific Reasoning in Genetics Using a Two‐Tier Diagnostic Instrument (2010, background): “However, multiple-choice questions may not always indicate student understanding or detect student misunderstanding for a particular concept (Griffard & Wandersee, 2001).”
Pupils' Understanding of Photosynthesis: A questionnaire for the simultaneous assessment of all aspects (2006, background): “It is remarkable that, according to Griffard and Wandersee (2001), students regard the second tier as a distinct multiple-choice task and thus finalize their choice on the basis of whether it logically follows their response to the first tier.”
A Review and Comparison of Diagnostic Instruments to Identify Students' Misconceptions in Science. (2015, methodology): “The study which criticized two-tier tests was done by Griffard and Wandersee (2001) in the discipline of biology.”
A Three-Tier Diagnostic Test to Assess Pre-Service Teachers’ Misconceptions about Global Warming, Greenhouse Effect, Ozone Layer Depletion, and Acid Rain (2012, methodology): “The reason for this situation might be that the subjects tend to regard the second-tier question as a distinct multiplechoice task (Griffard & Wandersee, 2001).”
Development and application of a four-tier test to assess pre-service physics teachers’ misconceptions about geometrical optics (2017, background): “…and Swackhamer 1992), and multiple-tier tests with two-tiers (Adadan and Savasci 2012; Chen, Lin, and Lin 2002; Fetherstonhaugh and Treagust 1992; Griffard and Wandersee 2001; Tsui and Treagust 2010), three-tiers (Arslan, Cigdemoglu, and Moseley 2012; Caleon and Subramaniam 2010a; Eryılmaz 2010;…”
Development of a Three-Tier Test to Assess Misconceptions About Simple Electric Circuits (2010, background): “The first tier of a twotier test is a typical multiple-choice question, whereas the second tier forces students to select a reason for the first-tier response (Chen, Lin, & Lin, 2002; Griffard & Wandersee, 2001; Odom & Barrow, 1995; Tan et al.).”
