Abstract:

Background: There are different types of exam formats for educational assessment. Multiple choice questions (MCQs) are frequently utilized assessment tools in health education. Considering the reliability and validity in developing MCQ items is vital. Educators often face the difficulty of developing credible distractors in MCQ items. Poorly constructed MCQ items make an exam easier or too difficult to be answered correctly by students as intended learning objectives. Checking the quality of MCQ items is overlooked and too little is known about it. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the qua

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to describe the use of Classical Test Theory (CTT) to investigate the quality of test items in measuring students' English competence. This study adopts a research method with a mixed methods approach. The results show that most items are within acceptable range of both indexes, with the exception of items in synonyms. Items that focus on vocabulary are more challenging. What is surprising is that the short answer items have an excellent item difficulty level and item discrimination index. General results from data analysis of items also support the hypothesis that

Abstract:

Item Analysis is used to determine the quality of test items, whether applicable or not applicable for the test takers’ ability assessment. Owing to that, our research attempts to measure the quality of personal fabricated English items for 8th grade students under the Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT) by Rasch models. We adopted reliability, item difficulty, discrimination power, and distractor effectivity, following to both theories. Overall, 30 items with multiple-choice format were handed out to 46 students. The items were analyzed quantitatively by deploying the Q

Objective To demonstrate the clinical application of the Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) using Rasch analysis. Methods A total of 276 patients with neurological disorders were assessed with the K-MBI in outpatient clinics. The Rasch partial-credit model was used to generate a keyform based on investigating the psychometric properties of the K-MBI, including dimensionality, precision (person strata and reliability), and hierarchical item difficulty. The Minimal Detectable Change (MDC) in item difficulty was used to establish right-challenging treatment goals and long-term t
