Automatic distractor generation in multiple-choice questions: a systematic literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are one of the most used assessment formats. However, creating MCQs is a challenging task, particularly when formulating the distractor. Numerous studies have proposed automatic distractor generation. However, there has been no literature review to summarize and present the current state of research in this field. This study aims to perform a systematic literature review to identify trends and the state of the art of automatic distractor generation studies.

Methodology

We conducted a systematic literature following the Kitchenham framework. The relevant literature was retrieved from the ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, and Scopus databases.

Results

A total of 60 relevant studies from 2009 to 2024 were identi
