Test questions measure recall; matching concepts with their definitions measures recognition.
Explanation:
According to Psychology our brain remembers everything what we learn but the understanding and remembering the right answer for the right question needs training and understanding ability. So in order to enhance the ability of recalling and recognizing among the students, the concept of test questions and matching with definitions are used in curricular activities.
As the students will be learning different terms, definitions, methods and different subjects, they should be able to distinguish among different definitions as well as they should recall the things they have learnt. So the answers for the test questions will help to recall the topics learnt by the students while the matching concept will help the students to recognize each definition with their terms.
