What is certainty based marking?

Certainty based marking is a method used in evaluating assessments or tests that allows respondents to indicate their level of certainty in their chosen answer. Instead of simply providing a single response, respondents are given the option to select a level of certainty for each answer choice. This approach acknowledges that individuals may have different levels of confidence in their answers, capturing the gray areas of knowledge and providing a more nuanced view of their understanding. By incorporating certainty based marking, educators and evaluators can gain insights into the reliability and accuracy of respondents' knowledge, enhancing the overall validity and effectiveness of assessments.
