Video Summary

In the video, the speaker introduces Bloom's Taxonomy, a hierarchy of learning, and emphasizes the importance of writing test questions that assess higher levels of learning. They discuss the need for questions to be clinically relevant and not focus on recalling small details. The three cornerstone concepts of test item writing are fairness, validity, and value. Fairness means questions should not be confusing or designed to trick students. Validity concerns avoiding questions where someone can guess the answer based on wording. Value refers to testing information that is worth testing and discriminating among test takers. The speaker concludes by highlighting the importance of both discrimination and value in test questions. No credits are granted.
