Didactic analysis of the items proposed in the competition test of entry to the CRMEF of the graduate professors qualifying option "physical chemistry" session 2015-2016 and determining factors in the choice of good future teacher
ABSTRACT: The Regional Centers of Education and Training (CRMEF) in Morocco are responsible for recruiting and training candidates for the teaching of schools. Admission to the CRMEF is done first of all by a pre-selection on file. The selected candidates will then pass a written test in chemistry physics of duration of 4 hours. The written examination, in physics chemistry, written in the form of a multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ) is established by the examination center of the Minister of National Education, Morocco. It consists of two parts, one dealing with physics and the other with chemistry. Each part is made up of totally independent parts. It contains 57 items divided into 11 themes. The physical part comprises 31 items divided into 6 themes and the chemistry part includes 26 items divided into 5 themes. The analysis of items includes all the statistical processes whose purpose is to evaluate the quality of an examination and the items that compose it. The research work conducted here is not interested in the editorial aspects of the MCQ items. It focuses exclusively on the one hand to analyze the items of the written examination (MCQ) of the entrance examination to the CRMEF taking into account qualitative information via the statistical indicators of discrimination and difficulty and on the other hand to perceive If the structuring and the formulation of the MCQ items are decisive in the choice of good future teacher. To do this a detailed analysis of each item of the written exam (MCQ) was done.The results of this study show that among the 57 items in the written test (MCQ), there are 7% of the items to be revised and 10.5% to be rejected and consequently the proposed examination does not discriminate between applicants and did not allow an adequate choice of good future teacher.

A SURVEY OF EMPLOYERS’ NEEDS FOR TECHNICAL AND SOFT SKILLS AMONG NEW GRADUATESijcseit
ABSTRACT
Motivated by concern about the ability of graduates to succeed in the workforce, universities frequently conduct surveys of local and regional employers, to understand those companies’ expectations. These can uncover specific needs not being addressed. Following a similar line of inquiry, prior research at Oregon State University interviewed employers, with the aim of identifying skills of concern. The current paper takes this research another step further by presenting a survey-based study aimed at quantifying the prevalence and level of employers’ desire for workers who have these identified skills. Although all skills were rated as moderately useful or better, most soft skills scored higher than most technical skills. Nonetheless, three technical skills (source code versioning, testing and agile methods) scored approximately as well as the soft skills; these three technical skills, like soft skills, were cross-cutting and applicable to more than one software development context. Further survey questions revealed that employers preferred that, to the extent that students focus on building technical skill, these learning experiences ideally should involve creating software that students can use as evidence of their qualifications.
A Mamdani Fuzzy Model to Choose Eligible Student EntryTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This paper presented about study that have been created a new student choosing system by
using fuzzy mamdani inference systems method. Fuzzy mamdani is used because it has characteristics
such as human perceptions on choosing of students with some specified criteria. The choosing students
who want entry to the school have been difficult if it is manually process. With the fuzzy mamdani, the
process can be possible completed execute and can be reduced the time of choose. To accomplish the
process, the fuzzy variable is created by the national final exam scores, report grade, general competency
test, physical test, interview and psychological test. Based on testing 270 data, the fuzzy mamdani has
been reached 75.63% accuracy.
UNDERSTANDING CUSTOMERS' EVALUATIONS THROUGH MINING AIRLINE REVIEWSIJDKP
Data mining can be evaluated as a strategic tool to determine the customer profiles in order to learn
customer expectations and requirements. Airline customers have different characteristics and if passenger
reviews about their trip experiences are correctly analyzed, companies can increase customer satisfaction
by improving provided services. In this study, we investigate customer review data for in-flight services of
airline companies and draw customer models with respect to such data. In this sense, we apply two
approaches as feature-based and clustering-based modelling. In feature-based modelling, customers are
grouped into categories based on features such as cabin flown types, experienced airline companies. In
clustering-based modelling, customers are first clustered via k-means clustering and then modeled. We
apply multivariate regression analysis to model customer groups in both cases. During this, we try to
understand how customers evaluate the given services and what dominant characteristics of in-flight
services can be from the customer viewpoint.
INTEGRATION OF IMPORTANCEPERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND FUZZY DEMATELijcsit
The traditional Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) assumes that quality attributes are independent variables, and presupposes that explicit customers’ response data is used for assessing the importance and performance of quality attributes. Under this supposition, when the quality attribute has explicit causation data, the traditional IPA cannot correctly provide importance and priority of improvement. Moreover, the
influential degree of the traditional quality attributes is emphasized as maximum degree. This study employs regression analysis and the fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), which consider the fuzziness of human thinking, to calculate the causal relationship and the influential degree among each quality attribute, and then proposes a new methodology of decision analysis, which
modifies the traditional IPA and obtains the accurate importance and the improvement the quality attributes. In this study, a Taiwanese bank is an empirical case study, which illustrates the application and the effectiveness of integrating fuzzy DEMATEL and IPA.

This study applies the research of perception gap analysis to supply chain integration and develops a generic model, the 3-Level Gaps Model, with the goal of contributing to harmonization and integration in the supply chain. The model suggests that significant perception gaps may exist among supply chain members with regards to the importance of different performance criteria. The concept of the model is conceived through an empirical and inductive approach, combining the research discipline of supply chain relationship and perception gap analysis. First hand data has been collected through a survey across a key buyer in the motor insurance industry and its eight suppliers. Rigorous statistical analysis testified the research hypotheses, which in turn verified the validity and relevance of the developed 3-Level Gaps Model. The research reveals the significant existence of supply chain perception gaps at all three levels as defined, which could be the root-causes to underperformed supply chain.
Multi Criteria Decision Making Methodology on Selection of a Student for All ...ijtsrd
Selecting a student for all round excellent award is based on a complex, elaborate combination of abilities and skills. A multi criteria Decision Making method, AHP is used to help in making decision consistently by doing a pairwise comparison matrix process between criteria based on selected alternatives and determining the priority order of criteria and alternatives used. The results of these calculations are used to determine the outstanding student receiving a scholarship based on the final results of the AHP method calculation. The results demonstrated that the student ranking is more likely influenced by the relative importance of management, leadership and motivation by sub criteria, education, cooperation, innovation, disciplinary, attendance, knowledge, sports activity, social activity and awards.

The application of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) model may integrate one information system to others. Also, SOA can handle the complexity of hardware platforms, software, and other services development in the college. There are many services systems exist in the university, for instance student satisfaction system by questionnaire. Student satisfaction is very important to be used as an evaluation of the college. Student satisfaction was analyzed using Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) by using quadrants for each competency. This study discusses the application of SOA and IPA model to analyze student satisfaction towards the course. Student satisfaction data was taken using questionnaires sent to the student satisfaction information system for 70 respondents for each course. It is found that sending the data using SOA and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is very efficient with the average value of page generation time for 1,5414 seconds. In addition, the analysis of student satisfaction towards each course is ranged from 3,72 to 4,09 with a satisfaction scale of 1 - 5. Therefore, the level of student satisfaction at the course is categorized in the satisfactory scale.

A Literature Survey: Fuzzy Logic and Qualitative Performance Evaluation of Su...theijes
Fuzzy logic can be a powerful tool for managers to use instead of traditional mathematical models when evaluating the performance of supply chains. The flexibility of the model allows the decision maker to introduce vagueness, uncertainty, and subjectivity into the evaluation system. In this paper we survey an alternative method of the performance evaluation system as opposed to the traditional quantitative methods. Performance evaluations represent a critically important decision that often involves subjective information. Models and heuristic techniques that focus on the use of different types of information are available; however, with few exceptions, the models are not robust enough to be applied in a practical, managerially useful manner. Fuzzy logic models provide a reasonable solution to these common decision situations. After extensive exploration of the literature, we recommend an outcome of exploring Fuzzy logic approach in evaluating qualitative aspects of performance of supply chain management. In this paper we survey fuzzy logic as a robust and easy understanding method to evaluate qualitative aspects of performance of supply chains.

The study aims to identify factors affecting enterprises satisfaction with the training quality of universities in the Mekong Delta. The study uses Cronbachs alpha to test the scale reliability, exploratory factor analysis EFA , and multivariate linear regression. Research data were collected from 92 enterprises whose employees graduated from universities in the Mekong Delta. The research result has pointed out five factors affecting the satisfaction of enterprises with the quality of training. They include work attitude, work knowledge, personal personality, professional competence, and operational skill. In particular, work attitude has the strongest impact on the satisfaction of enterprises with the university training quality.

Influence of Table of Specification on the Construction of Ordinary Level Phy...ijtsrd
A table of specification is fundamental in a test construction. The use of table of specifications when construction a teacher made achievement test and standardized test is very essential, because it will make the test valid and reliable. Unfortunately, because of lack of inadequate training on its use, it is usually not used by many teachers when constructing a test. The results from these types of assessments are likely not to be valid and reliable. In this situation, some topics that the teacher spent little time in teaching may carry more weighting leading to students’ poor performance in the subject Physics . Most teachers and administrators are still relatively blank as far as skills in test construction and interpretation are concerned. Classroom test provides teachers with essential information that they can use to make decisions about instructions, students learning and student grades. This paper is centred on the following meaning of weighting, table of specification, the purpose of the table of specification, the benefits of a table of specification in test construction, what should be taken into account when building a TOS, a practical example of TOS, Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives and item analysis. The importance of table of specifications and the inherent dangers of not using it are highlighted and recommendations to ameliorate the situation are proffered.

In this work, we highlight the impact of formative assessment on the learning and the unreliability of
the mark for the summative evaluation process. To achieve this study, we distributed to 250 students of the
common core sciences, a questionnaire to the representations of the students acquired during their learning
situations. The questionnaire covers the main concepts of the courses that have been taught, namely, electric
current; electric voltage; quantity of material and molar concentration. After collecting all the answers to the
questionnaire, we corrected them. We looked through the summative evaluation for the acquisition of concepts
by students and the effect of adjustment of representations on their marks. We put in question the reliability of
the marks that we can allocate. Therefore, we distributed photocopies of 50 copies before their correction to 20
secondary school teachers, in order to have more information on systematic errors of the marks, their limit and
their reliability. On the light of these results, we can say:
- Formative assessment can help teachers to anticipate in advance treating the gaps of the students and
changing these methods, if necessary, in the learning process.
- Summative assessment may not reflect the level of acquisition of the taught concepts.
Therefore, the revision of assessment methods of the concepts among learners is required.
These evaluation methods are unable to properly assess the level of acquisitions of students, as they differ from
one teacher to another

ABSTRACT
This paper demonstrates how Excel’s Pivot Table Function can be used to visually examine
electronic exam results. Pivot tables allow users to visually analyze data such as exam results
effectively and efficiently. The paper provides a short discussion of Classical Test Theory statistics
such as Item Difficulty and Item Discrimination. Examples are then presented where exam
questions seemed to perform poorly when analyzed using only the statistical measurements. When
the same examples are explored using visual analysis from Excel’s Pivot Table as a supplement to
the statistical methods the results are better understand.
Keywords: Item Analysis, Assessment, Pivot-Table, Item Discrimination, Item Difficulty,
Classical Test Theory
INTRODUCTION
In this paper a graphical method of analyzing exam question results using Excel’s Pivot
Table function is proposed. We argue that visual analysis of exam data should be used as a
supplement to the traditional statistical approaches of item analysis. Performing detailed item
analyses on exam question responses allows instructors to understand not only how well students
are grasping the material on the exam as a whole but also to understand how well each question is
measuring the student’s knowledge. However, as Crisp & Palmer (2007) and Vyas & Supe (2008)
point out, many instructors are not specialists in educational theory or the discipline of assessment
and are limited in the statistical training needed to analyze assessment results. Therefore, it is
common practice for many instructors to create an exam, grade it, report the students’ scores and
then give the exam no further thought. In other words, validation of exams and their results tend
to be based around ‘academic acumen rather than quantitative evidence’ (Crisp & Palmer, 2007;
Knight, 2006; Price, 2005). Even when exam item analyses are conducted often times the

measures may be misunderstood. Course management systems such as Blackboard now offer exam
item analysis measures such as Item Discrimination and Item Difficulty. These measures can easily
be misinterpreted if instructors are not aware of how they are calculated and their sensitivity to the
data being measured.
Graphically analyzing electronic exam results.
The Empirical Analysis of Curriculum Quality Evaluation Based on Students Eva...ijtsrd
The data of curriculum quality evaluation based on students evaluation of teaching contains learners perception of curriculum quality is helpful to provide reference for the improvement of curriculum quality. The evaluation system of curriculum quality should be built around ten evaluation dimensions, such as teaching objectives, subject frontier, case teaching, teacher literacy, classroom discussion, teaching methods, teaching courseware, information technology, teachers Q and A, curriculum ideological and political. Taking the students of school of physics and electronic information of Nanchang Normal University as the research object, and the sample size of curriculum quality evaluation is 5443, the Pearson correlation analysis is carried out on ten evaluation dimensions, and the correlation coefficient is 0.770, which indicates strong positive correlation. A regression model with ten evaluation dimensions as independent variables and curriculum satisfaction as dependent variables is established. The resolution of the model is 77.4 , which can predict curriculum satisfaction, and which has theoretical support for teachers to pay attention to the curriculum quality and improve the curriculum quality. It emphasizes that teaching department should pay attention to the effect of evaluation results on the continuous improvement of curriculum quality. It is suggested that a substantial and effective mechanism for continuous improvement should be established.

Rural Livelihood and Food Security: Insights from Srilanka Tapu of Sunsari Di...journal ijrtem
Food security is the foremost need of every human society. It is a fundamental right and
government responsibility but still food insecurity is prevalent in rural areas of least developed nations. To cope
with food insecurity, undertaking diverse income generating activities is common as well as key strategy adopted
by rural people. The objective of this study is to assess rural livelihood and food security status of a remote island
named Srilanka Tapu of Sunsari district. A random sampling technique was used to collect primary data from 40
rural household heads using semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive methods were used for analyzing. The
findings revealed that the food security situation of the Tapu is insecure. Most basic infrastructures and social
services needed for people livelihood such as road, electricity sufficient food availability, education, healthcare,
sanitation, etc. were found to be extremely poor. Most of the households are small scale farmers involving
themselves in diverse livelihood activities which are mostly temporary, low-skilled and low paying. However,
people are fulfilling their food needs at every cost but are highly vulnerable to food insecurity. Also, their lives
security is equally vulnerable because of disastrous Koshi River flooding which occurs every year in the Tapu.
The findings therefore critically suggest that food security of remote and vulnerable human settlements should be
at top priority in policy formulation and implementation level. The study also recommends a need for an in-depth
research for making evidence based policy interventions for improvement of diversify rural livelihood along with
sustainable environment
Augmented Tourism: Definitions and Design Principlesjournal ijrtem
After designing and implementing several iterations of implantations of augmented reality(AR) in
tourism, this paper takes a deep look into design principles and implementation strategies of using AR at
destination tourism settings. The study looks to define augmented tourism from past implementations as well as
several cases uses designed and implemented for tourism. The discussion leads to formation of frameworks and
best practices for AR as well as virtual reality(VR) to be used in tourism settings. Some main affordances include
guest autonomy, customized experiences, visitor data collection and increased electronic word-of-mouth
generation for promotion purposes. Some challenges found include the need for high levels of technology
infrastructure, low adoption rates or ‘buy-in’ rates, high levels of calibration and customization, and the need for
maintenance and support services. Some suggestions are given as to how to leverage the affordances and meet
the challenges to implementing AR for tourism
A study on financial aspect of supply chain management journal ijrtem
The more common approaches used in the SCM consider only the physical logistic operations
and ignore the financial aspects of the supply chain. The main objective to incorporate financial aspects in
supply chain management is to strengthen managerial decisions concerning financial flows in supply chains,
while empirical knowledge about financial supply chain management (FSCM) is in its early stages. This paper
presents a model for FSCM which financial planning in addition to operation planning is decided in it. The
main contribution of this paper is to define two approaches for Financial Supply Chain Management and to
compare them. This financial approaches are: Traditional financial approach and new financial approach.
Traditional financial approach integrates physical goods flows and financial flows. New financial approach
considers in making decisions other financial indicators such as market to book value, liquidity ratios, capital
structure ratios, and return on equity, sales margin, turnover ratios and stock security ratios, among others.
Moreover, the new approach applies the change in equity instead of the traditional approach measures of profit
as the objective function to be maximized in the presented model. To show the attributes of the presented
approaches, the results of the new approach and the traditional approach is compared. The findings indicate
that the traditional approach leads to lower change in equity compared to the financial approach. Also, the
results clearly reveal the better improvement of using the new approach over the traditional approach, and
convince the decision makers to take advantage of the new approach

This paper concerns a new kind of fractional q-differential equation of arbitrary order by
combining a multi-point boundary condition with an integral boundary condition. By solving the equation which
is equivalent to the problem we are going to investigate, the Green’s functions are obtained. By defining a
continuous operator on a Banach space and taking advantage of the cone theory and some fixed-point theorems,
the existence of multiple positive solutions for the BVPs is proved based on some properties of Green’s functions
and under the circumstance that the continuous functions f satisfy certain hypothesis. Finally, examples are
provided to illustrate the results.

Technical expertise on the cause of engine failure of the Mitsubishi Pajero S...journal ijrtem
The article concerns the case of the damage to the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport engine and the
methodology a technical expert applied to identify a direct cause of failure. The engine failure occurred while a
vehicle was being repaired to eliminate air conditioning malfunction and engine overheating. When repairing, it
was necessary to replace a cylinder head and the pistons were checked removing the pully from a crank shaft.
After the repair had been completed and after 16-day vehicle operation, engine timing belts got damaged. To
eliminate this malfunction, damaged belts were replaced. Thirty (30) days after the vehicle had been put into
operation, emergency engine failure occurred, and a technical expert was called upon to assess the quality of the
repairs having been performed. The article describes the procedures and methodology a technical expert applied.
In the conclusion, the findings are stated. To determine the cause, a vehicle was on the car service station
premises, where a technical expert was present and according to his instructions, diagnostic and subsequent
disassembly works have been done. The procedure of evaluating the key characteristics on individual parts, their
display, and the resulting evaluation are described.
Clustering based Time Slot Assignment Protocol for Improving Performance in U...journal ijrtem
Recently, numerous approaches have been proposed for designing medium access control (MAC)
in underwater acoustic networks (UANs). Some of those works tried to adapt MAC protocols proposed for
terrestrial networks. However, unique environmental characteristics of UANs make the MAC protocols hard to be
used in the UANs and degrade network performance. In order to improve network performance, COD-TS MAC
protocol was proposed. COD-TS focuses on both single hop and multi-hop mode and utilizes CDMA for
exchanging schedule information between cluster heads. COD-TS has shortcomings such as collisions, additional
energy consumption by exchanging schedule information and near-far effect of CDMA. To overcome above
shortcomings, we propose a clustering-based time slot assignment protocol. In the proposed protocol, nodes are
clustered, and each cluster head performs two-hop neighbor cluster discovery operation. And then, a cluster head
obtains its own relative position information. Finally, the cluster head assigns its own time slot for data
transmission based on the information. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol has always better
performance compared to the COD-TS.

Assessment of the Water Quality of Lake Sidi Boughaba (Ramsar Site 1980) Keni...journal ijrtem
Sidi Boughaba Lake, part of a wetland complex of Morocco (Ramsar site in 1980) is located on
the Atlantic coast of northwestern Morocco, oriented NNE - SSW and located in an interdunal depression. The
existence of this body of water is due to the fact that the topographic surface is at a lower cost than that of the
piezometric surface of the coastal water table, rainwater and runoff water. The objective of this study is to
determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the waters of this lake. Thus, several water samples were
taken monthly in the period 2016-2017. Parameters such as: temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC),
chloride (Cl-
), turbidity (NTU), calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+). The results obtained show that the
distribution of the analyzed elements in Lake waters is quite variable between seasons, as well as between stations.
However, the analysis showed that the studied waters are very mineralized, with an EC between 7 g/l and 14.8
g/l. This mineralization is essentially evaporitic and is controlled by various processes, such as evaporation and
marine influence by aerosol.
The case of a cyclist and tractor traffic accident journal ijrtem
When assessing the cause of a traffic accident, it is also necessary for the technical expert to
take into account the real influences that affect individual participants. This is especially important for accidents
in which one of the participants is cyclist. Technical expert must consider all the circumstances necessary to
assess the cyclist´s behavior. Negligible is not even the age of a cyclist, since in the case of a child or an old man
the driver overtaking bicycle should take this into consideration. The article deals with case of traffic accident
between tractor with the trailer and a bicycle which was riding by cyclist at the age of 80. Apart from the described
procedure by expert in the calculations, the influences on participants' behavior are also discussed
: This paper is aimed at designing a density based dynamic traffic signal system where the timing
of signal will change automatically on sensing the traffic density at any junction using the IoT technology. Traffic
congestion is a severe problem in most cities across the world and therefore it is time to shift more manual mode
or fixed timer mode to an automated system with decision making capabilities. To optimize this problem, we have
made a framework for an intelligent traffic control system. Sometimes higher traffic density at one side of the
junction demands longer green time as compared to standard allotted time. We therefore propose here a
mechanism in which the time period of green light and red light is assigned on the basis of the density of the
traffic present at the time. This is achieved by using LIDAR sensors.

ABSTRACT: The Regional Centers of Education and Training (CRMEF) in Morocco are responsible for recruiting and training
candidates for the teaching of schools. Admission to the CRMEF is done first of all by a pre-selection on file. The selected candidates
will then pass a written test in chemistry physics of duration of 4 hours. The written examination, in physics chemistry, written in the
form of a multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ) is established by the examination center of the Minister of National Education,
Morocco. It consists of two parts, one dealing with physics and the other with chemistry. Each part is made up of totally independent
parts. It contains 57 items divided into 11 themes. The physical part comprises 31 items divided into 6 themes and the chemistry part
includes 26 items divided into 5 themes. The analysis of items includes all the statistical processes whose purpose is to evaluate the
quality of an examination and the items that compose it.
The research work conducted here is not interested in the editorial aspects of the MCQ items. It focuses exclusively on the one hand to
analyze the items of the written examination (MCQ) of the entrance examination to the CRMEF taking into account qualitative
information via the statistical indicators of discrimination and difficulty and on the other hand to perceive If the structuring and the
formulation of the MCQ items are decisive in the choice of good future teacher. To do this a detailed analysis of each item of the
written exam (MCQ) was done.The results of this study show that among the 57 items in the written test (MCQ), there are 7% of the
items to be revised and 10.5% to be rejected and consequently the proposed examination does not discriminate between applicants
and did not allow an adequate choice of good future teacher.
KEYWORDS: Competition - Regional Center for Education and Training Trade (CRMEF) - - Item Analysis - School Teachers - Recruitment -

INTRODUCTION
Studies show that pupils receiving high-performance teachers will progress on average three times faster than those entrusted to
inferior teachers [1,2]. Teachers must therefore be provided with the professional skills quality education and this requires professional
development, in other words, through initial and in-service training for teachers[3].
CRMEF is primarily responsible for this performance by choosing future teachers and then qualifying them during the initial training
they make available to them.
Similarly to other countries, the Minister of National Education in Morocco organizes, at the beginning of each school year, a
competition for the recruitment of candidates holding abachelor's degree, master's degree, professional degree in education science, or
other diplomas equivalent to the regional centers of the trades of education and training (CRMEF)[4,5,6]. This is part of the training
framework for teachers in the secondary school qualifying and collegiate in physical chemistry.
In this study, the method of evaluating the written test seems to us to be a crucial and decisive factor in the choice of good future
teachers. However, detailed item-by-item analysis of the entire written test has shown that such a test does not further discriminate
candidates and does not allow an adequate choice of a good future teacher.
RESEARCH CONTEXT
Given the importance of the evaluation process in the field of recruitment, of future teachers, we proceeded to a counting of the notes
associated with each item of the written test (MCQ). A careful analysis of these notes suggests that two-thirds of the candidates who
passed the written test found it very difficult to approach the examination as a whole and did not average. This observation allowed us
to hypothesize: To what extent the quality of the items (good and/or bad discrimination) proposed in the written test of the entrance
examination to the CRMEF is decisive in the choice of good future Teacher (tie-breaker).

To verify our initial hypothesis we carried out a detailed analysis of each item of the written test (MCQ) in analogy with the
quantitative norms P and ID. An estimate of the mean difficulty index and the average discriminatory power of the entire written test
was made.
THEORETICAL FRAME
The item analysis is the set of statistical processes whose purpose is to evaluate the quality of an examination and the items (ie the
questions) that compose it.This type of analysis has several advantages:
Obtain guidance on the accuracy and reliability of the results observed.
"Validate" a review by removing gaps where necessary.
Calibrate future exams.
Create an "item bank".
Improve wording of questions.
The three-item analysis reports [7]that are "the test analysis report", "item analysis report" and "item advice report" are used to identify
issues that are problematic, they would merit revision or replacement for a forthcoming review session. They also help identify the
"best" questions, which should be inspired when writing new questions (item analysis report, item advice report).
These last two reports are based on two important indicators: Difficulty / Facility Index (Pi), Discrimination index (ID).
Pi: Item Difficulty / Facility Index (ranging from 0 to 1) is the proportion of students who have just answered an item i. An item is all
the easier because it has a high index * P * and it is therefore to aim that the majority of items are neither too easy nor too difficult:
that their P is distributed around 0.5. How to value this value? McAlpine[8]considers that the answers are too difficult (P <0.15, when
less than 15% of respondents answered the question correctly), or too easy (P> 0.85, ie when at least 85% Have answered just) can be
excluded from the MCQ. The first are "impossible", the second "trivial" and therefore neither allows the effective measurement of the
skills of people passing the MCQ. (Fig.1, 2).
ID: Discrimination Index (ID) is a variant of the Pearson correlation coefficient and is called r a ripple point (rpbis)[9]. It varies, like
any correlation coefficient, between -1 and 1, and corresponds to the correlation coefficient between an item and the total score on the
test. It is then important to see to what extent a given question in itself contributes to selecting "good" or "less good" candidates.
Figures 1 and 2 below give the range of variation of the quantitative norms P and ID.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The number of candidates enrolled in the entrance examination to the CRMEF for the 2015 - 2016 school year is 1286 and of what are
selected to pass the written test is ninety. The written exam in the form of multiple choice questionnaires (MCQ) comprises 57 items
divided into 11 themes six themes in physics and five themes in chemistry. The 6 physics themes contain 31 items and the 5 chemistry
themes encompass 26 items.
The sample used:
The current study was conducted on 30 pseudo-randomly selected copies of ninety copies of the candidates who passed the written test
of the CRMEF entry competition for the academic year 2015-2016.Using the results (correct and/or false) obtained in each copy of the
sample used, it was possible to assume the quantitative P and ID standards associated with each item (Table 1 and 2) of the written
test.
A careful and parallel examination of the quantitative standards P and ID indices (difficulty and discrimination) was carried out in
order to analyze finely the quality of the items proposed in the written test of the entrance examination to the CRMEF.The use of the
results (correct and/or false) obtained in each copy of the sample used allowed the P and ID standards associated with each item
(Table 1 and 2) to be assumed in the written test of the competition.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Detailed statistical analysis and discussion of each item in the written test
1.1. Physical:
Theme: mechanical :To verify our initial hypothesis, we carried out a detailed analysis of the different items of the written test A
careful and parallel examination of the last two indices (P and ID) (Table 1, Fig. a) allows a fine analysis of the quality of the
items. It is noted that items Q3 and Q4 have a very low difficulty / ease index equal to 0.1 and 0.03 respectively are both less than
0.15 ie less than 10% respectively 3% of the candidates answered just the question. The latter two percentages are very low,

which means that questions Q3 and Q4 are difficult to reach by the candidates, and the latter also have negative indices of
discrimination (ID) (-0.23 and -0.16). Which means that it is the unsatisfactory candidates in general (on the whole
questionnaire) who succeed well in these items, which may suggest that these items are a weak predictor of knowledge or skill
measured in the test, And therefore we must consider its suppression, or that successful candidates in general succeed less well
with these items: it is appropriate in this case to ask why. This suggests that the items Q3 and Q4 are non-discriminating and
therefore to reject or reformulate or that the disciplinary level of candidates and very low. While the items, Q6 and Q5 have a
difficulty rating of 0.2 and 0.23 less than 0.3 (less than 30% of the candidates responded correctly) means that these questions are
difficult [10]. Is it normal that so many candidates have not met the objective measured by these questions? The difficulty index
of questions Q2, Q9 and Q10 (0, 37, 0.4 and 0.4) is distributed around 0.5: these items are neither too easy nor too difficult
(acceptable questions) [8]. The item Q8 with an index of difficulty 0.4 <P = 0.53 <0.6 a little more than 0.50 and discrimination
index 0.15 <ID = 0.18 <0.24: question Discriminates well [9]. The question Q7 at P = 0.23 with a negative discrimination
coefficient (ID <0) shows an inconsistency: the best candidates fail this question when the weak candidates succeed. This
question with ID must be withdrawn from the bank. The remaining item on this theme Q1 (60% of candidates answered just) has
a discrimination index of 0.36: excellent question [10].
Theme: electronic :This topic includes only two items Q11 and Q12 (Table 1, Fig. b) that have a difficulty index of 0.67 and 0.37
respectively (67% and 37% of the candidates responded correctly). The discrimination index of Q11 is ID = 0.47 and that of Q12
is ID = -0.13. This suggests that item Q11 is an issue that discriminates very well and that item Q12 is a non-issue Real interest in
a certification assessment [11].
Theme: magnetism :The items, Q13, Q14 and Q15 of the magnetism theme (Table 1, Fig. c) have a Difficulty / Facility Index (P)
which is in the range 0.4 <P <0.6 a little more than 0, 50 and a discrimination index (ID) (in absolute value) - 0.05 <ID <0.12:
these items are neither too easy nor too difficult (acceptable questions) [8]. While item Q17 has a difficulty / ease index (P = 0.13
<0.15) non-discriminatory question and therefore to reject or reformulate or that the disciplinary level of candidates and very
low and the item Q16 has a difficulty / ease index (P = 0.3) (30% of the candidates answered just) with an ID of - 0.19: difficult
question [10].
Theme: electrostatic: Question Q18, (Table 1, Fig. d), has a difficulty / ease index(P = 0.57 <0.6): this item is neither too easy nor
too difficult (an acceptable question) [8]. While item Q21 of difficulty / ease index (P = 0.07 <0.15): 7% of the candidates
answered just. This too difficult question does not discriminate so should be discarded from the MCQ. The items, Q19 and Q20
have a difficulty / ease index that is very close to 0.35 are classified as excellent questions (good discriminates). The remaining
item Q22 has an index P = 0.17 between 0.15 and 0.24: marginal issue: to be revised.
Theme: optics : In this theme the items (Table 1, Fig. e), Q23, Q24, Q25, Q26 and Q28 have an index P which is distributed around
0.5 which means that the majority of the items are neither too easy nor too Difficult. For item Q27 only 10% of respondents
answered just the given question, which proves that it is difficult (less discriminating).
Theme: wave: The difficulty / ease index of the two items Q29, and Q30 is less than 0.24: marginal questions: to be revised[8]. The
last question Q31 (P = 0.43: 43% answered just this question) is discriminating (Table 1, Fig.f).

1.2. Chemistry
Theme: structure of matter :It consists of six items (Table 2, Fig. g), three of which are too easy "trivial", Q32, Q35 and Q36 with a
difficulty / ease (P) index of 0.9, 0.83 and 0,87 all greater than or equal to 0.85. These questions where all the candidates succeed
(P> 0.85) are not sufficiently informative because they do not discriminate candidates. Moreover, if the examination includes
only very easy or very difficult questions, it does not make it possible to discriminate two average candidates since both will
succeed all the easy questions and will fail to all the very difficult questions, so they will both same rating. These items should be
excluded from the MCQ [8]. Items Q33 and Q37 both have nearly the same difficulty / ease index equal to 0.6 (ie 60% of the
candidates answered just) discriminate well (excellent questions). The remaining item Q34 has an index P = 0.23 between 0.15
and 0.24: marginal question: to be revised.
Theme: chemical thermodynamics : Questions Q38, Q40, Q41 and Q42 of the chemical thermodynamic theme (Table 2, Fig. h) all
have a difficulty / Ease (P) index which is in the range 0.3 <P <0.7 and a Discrimination (ID) which is in the range 0.25 <ID
<0.34 which suggests that these items are acceptable (good questions). Item Q39 of difficulty / ease index P = 0.53 and
discrimination index ID> 0.35 is an excellent question [8].
Theme: reactions in aqueous media :The three items, Q43, Q44 and Q47 of the reactions in aqueous solution (Table 2, Fig. i)
contain a difficulty/facility (P) index that settles in the range 0.3 <P <0.7 and one Index of discrimination in the range 0.25 <ID
<0.34 which suggests that these items are acceptable (good questions). Items Q46 and Q48 are questions of average difficulty (P =
0.50), it will discriminate correctly the average subjects, but will not discriminate weak subjects among themselves (because they
will fail all questions) or (because they will succeed all the questions). The remaining item Q45 has a difficulty/ease index equal
to 0.13: question too difficult.
Theme: Chemical kinetics :The chemical kinetic theme (Table 2, Fig. j) contains five items. Items Q50 and Q52 both have a
Difficulty / Ease (P) index of less than 0.15 and therefore are too difficult. While the other three, Q49, Q51 and Q53 have an index
P in the range 0.3 <P <0.7 and a discrimination index (ID) that is in the range 0.25 <ID <0.34 which suggests that these items are
acceptable (good questions).
Theme: organic chemistry : The four items, Q54, Q55, Q56 and Q57, of the organic chemistry theme (Table 2, Fig. k) all have a
Difficulty / Facility Index (P) which intercalates on the interval 0.3 <P <0.7 And a discrimination index (ID) that finds in the
range 0.25 <ID <0.34 and therefore are good questions.

CONCLUSION
The careful analysis of the 57 items of the written test (MCQ) divided into 11 themes (6 themes in physics including 31 items and 5
themes in chemistry comprising 26 items) led us to conclude that:
The average difficulty index of the test was optimal, ie 0.41;
Items classified as good or excellent were moderately predominant, accounting for 52% of the total;
Difficult items accounted for 17.5% of the questions with wide variations within disciplines;
Average items accounted for 12.3% of total questions;
The percentage of questions to be revised (7%) and / or rejected (10.5%) is relatively large compared to all items.
The discriminating power of the whole test was average, an average discrimination index of 0.28. Discrimination issues
accounted for 17.5% of the total, 7% to be revised and 10.5% to be rejected. The best discrimination was found for difficult
disciplines ranging from 0.4 to 0.6.
The analysis of items showed that the test was of relatively acceptable internal consistency and of medium quality in terms of
difficulty and discrimination. They tended to be easy and discriminated mainly between middle students. Ongoing analysis will further
improve their quality.
The result thus obtained showed that the difficulties encountered by the candidates.
The written test are related not only to the disciplinary deficiencies but also to the way in which it is structured the written test (MCQ)
which suggests that this test is not decisive in the choice of good future teacher.
