Which technique is described when brackets are widely separated and tests tend to be more general in nature?

• A. Information Funnelling
• B. Bracketing
• C. Sequential Testing
• D. Random Sampling

Answer: (A)

Information funnelling uses wide gaps between brackets and generally broad questions at the start to gather a wide view of a learner’s abilities. This approach casts a wide net, capturing broad information before narrowing down, which matches the idea of widely separated brackets and more general testing. It’s about starting broad and then focusing in as needed, rather than probing with tightly spaced levels, following a fixed sequence, or sampling items at random.
