item analysics
This document discusses item analysis, which is the process of evaluating the effectiveness of individual multiple choice questions (MCQs) on a test. Item analysis has several objectives, including selecting appropriate questions, determining question difficulty, and ensuring questions can differentiate between more and less capable test takers. It involves arranging test scores and separating respondents into high- and low-scoring groups. Key metrics calculated through item analysis are the difficulty index, which indicates how hard a question is, and the discrimination index, which shows how well a question distinguishes between strong and weak test takers. Item analysis provides useful information for improving test questions and guiding students.
Item and Distracter Analysis
The document discusses item analysis, which is the process of examining test responses to evaluate the quality of individual test items and the test itself. It aims to improve the effectiveness of items used on future tests. Key aspects covered include item difficulty index, item discrimination, and analyzing items based on how well they measure the effects of instruction. The document provides examples and interpretations for calculating various metrics used in item analysis.

The document also defines standardized tests, explores why testing is viewed as a science, and examines concepts like central tendency, dispersion, reliability, and ways to calculate reliability such as using correlations and item analysis.
Fulcher standardized testing
Standardized testing can take two forms: norm-referenced which compares test takers to each other, and criterion-referenced which determines if an individual has achieved a specified standard. Norm-referenced testing aims to discriminate between test takers in order to distribute scarce resources like university places. It became popular during WWI when psychological testing was used to contribute to the war effort. Proponents viewed testing as a scientific process of quantifying and measuring abilities. However, others argue that defining and measuring constructs like traits is problematic. Test scores are distributed along a normal curve and take on meaning based on their position within that distribution compared to other test takers. Reliability ensures test scores are consistent over time without instruction.
Ch05 instrumentation
This chapter discusses selecting and using measuring instruments in educational research. It covers key terminology related to data collection and measurement, different types of instruments including cognitive, achievement, aptitude and affective tests. The chapter also addresses important technical issues in using instruments, specifically validity which refers to the appropriateness of interpretations from test scores, and reliability which refers to a test's consistency. It describes different aspects of validity and reliability and factors that can influence them. Finally, the chapter outlines six common reliability coefficients and considerations for selecting a suitable test.
Developing Classroom-based Assessment Tools
The document discusses developing and improving classroom-based assessments. It provides definitions of assessment and classroom-based assessment, noting that assessment is an integral part of instruction that enhances student learning. Various types of assessment tools are described, including tests, performance assessments, portfolios, observations, and self-reports. Guidelines are provided for planning assessments, selecting test items, constructing different item types like multiple choice and essay, and improving assessments through analysis and collaboration with colleagues.
Standardized assessments
This document provides an overview of standardized assessments, including their purpose, types, administration, scoring, and accommodations. It defines key terms like norm-referenced vs. criterion-referenced tests and explains how to evaluate reliability and validity. Scoring methods like raw scores, standard scores, percentiles, and grade equivalents are outlined. The concept of a normal distribution curve is introduced to show how scores are distributed. Accommodations for students are described to ensure abilities are assessed rather than disabilities.
Computer adaptive testing
- Traditional tests have fixed forms with all examinees answering the same items, which is inefficient and leads to differences in precision.
- Computer adaptive testing (CAT) tailors the difficulty and number of items to each examinee based on their responses to previous questions. CAT aims to maximize precision by selecting subsequent questions based on the examinee's estimated ability level.
- CAT requires fewer items than traditional tests to arrive at equally accurate scores while providing a more personalized experience for each examinee.
Characteristics of a good test
Reliability refers to the consistency of test scores. A reliable test will produce similar results over multiple test administrations. There are several methods for determining reliability, including internal consistency, test-retest reliability, inter-rater reliability, and split-half reliability. Validity refers to how well a test measures what it intends to measure. Validity can be established through face validity, construct validity, content validity, and criterion validity. Both reliability and validity are important for a high quality test, as a test can be reliable without being valid.

The role of item analysis in detecting and improving faulty physics objective...
This document discusses using item analysis to detect and improve faulty physics test items. It summarizes the results of analyzing a 50-item physics test administered to 900 students using classical test theory and item response theory. The analysis identified several items as faulty based on their difficulty indices, discrimination indices, and information contributions. The document concludes public exam bodies should thoroughly analyze test items to identify faults and improve item quality.
Types of test items and principles for constructing test items
Types of test items and principles for constructing test items discusses various types of test items including oral tests, essay tests, short answer questions, and objective tests. It also outlines principles for constructing good test items such as ensuring validity, reliability, objectivity, comprehensiveness, and clarity. A good test should measure what it intends to measure, function consistently, yield objective scores, cover the entire syllabus, and have clear directions.
Advantages and limitations of subjective test items
In the world of test creation software and online exam makers, we often hear talk of objective and subjective questions and their differing effects on test takers. Take a look at our presentation for a quick overview.
Table of specification
The document provides guidance on developing and using a table of specifications (TOS) to help teachers construct valid classroom tests. A TOS helps ensure tests are aligned to instruction by mapping objectives, time spent on each objective, and cognitive level taught to the number and type of test items. It provides evidence that tests accurately measure the intended content and require similar levels of thinking to what was taught. The document explains how to create a sample TOS and use it to determine the proportion of test items devoted to each objective based on class time. An effective TOS can improve the validity of inferences made from classroom tests.
Sp110623
This document discusses perspectives on multiple choice question (MCQ) assessment. It provides general thoughts on how MCQs can be used formatively or summatively. It then describes processes for designing, establishing validity and reliability, and providing feedback for MCQs. Specific examples are given from the NCLEX-RN test plan to illustrate steps in writing MCQs, including selecting areas of focus, writing stems and keys/distractors. Case scenarios are also used to demonstrate how to write MCQs assessing different nursing concepts.
Root Cause Analysis
The document provides guidance on conducting a root cause analysis to identify the underlying factors that led to an undesirable outcome or problem in order to determine corrective actions. It outlines a 10-step process for defining the problem, gathering evidence, identifying contributing factors and root causes, determining solutions, and ensuring the effectiveness of implemented recommendations to prevent future recurrence. The goal of root cause analysis is to transform a reactive culture into a proactive one by solving problems before issues escalate.
Intro assessmentcmm
This document discusses assessment in ESL education. It defines assessment as an ongoing process to ensure course objectives are met, noting that a test is one form of assessment. The document outlines different types of assessment, including informal assessment through unplanned feedback and formal assessments like tests. It also discusses various assessment tools and their purposes, including diagnosing student needs, guiding instruction, and evaluating student achievement. Key principles for effective assessment are described, such as reliability, validity, practicality and authenticity.
Types of tests in measurement and evaluation
The document discusses various ways to classify educational tests. Tests can be classified based on the type of questions (essay vs. objective), administration (individual vs. group, oral vs. written), scoring method (qualitative vs. machine), traits measured (intelligence, achievement, personality), and other factors. The purpose of tests is to measure psychological traits, abilities, knowledge, or skills in a formal and systematic way.
E asttle
e-asTTle is an assessment tool that challenges traditional testing approaches. It aims to assess students based on their ability rather than age. Tests can be taken online or on paper. Questions adapt based on the student's responses to determine their ability level. The goal is to identify what students know and don't know to inform future learning, rather than solely providing a score. Results reports also analyze incorrect answers to guide next steps.
Test appraisal
The document discusses test appraisal systems and item analysis. It defines test appraisal as the process used by educational institutions to evaluate how effectively they have conducted and evaluated students. Item analysis is a statistical technique used to select and reject test items based on their difficulty and ability to discriminate between stronger and weaker students. Item analysis provides benefits such as improving test construction, identifying weaknesses, and enhancing teaching methods.
Subjective test (Essay)
Subjective tests are assessments that require students to provide open-ended answers like essays, explanations, or descriptions. This document discusses subjective tests, including their definition, strengths and limitations, and scoring methods. It provides examples of both extended and restricted response essay questions. The key strengths of subjective tests are that they encourage creative expression and opinion, while limitations include low reliability and validity. Scoring can be done analytically based on a rubric or holistically based on overall impression. Rubrics and anonymous grading are recommended to reduce subjective aspects.

Cognitive, personality and behavioural predictors of academic success in a la...
In recent years there has been growing interest in the use of e-learning tools that are able to adapt to suit the ability levels, needs, or preferences of individual learners. In this project we aim to test the utility of an adaptive e-learning study tool within the context of a large undergraduate Psychology course (approximately 700 students). The study tool and a number of associated summative tests are hosted on the course’s Blackboard Learning Management System. Pilot data indicates that students that use the tool perform significantly better on the summative tests compared to non-users (t[683] = 4.35, p <0.001). We examine the relationship in the context of 1) learning analytics data that can be obtained via Blackboard, and 2) a number of known psychological predictors of academic success.

Elearning Summit 2015 - BoSCO - Minneapolis
The disconnect between data collection and analysis across sectors of academic institutions makes it challenging to incorporate data into curricular design. Understanding the factors related to student persistence and success is unlikely to occur by focusing only on one sector at a time. Facilitating evidence-based course design might begin with the creation of a tool that allows real-time exploration of data across sectors for integration into the traditional course/curricular design. Our paper describes how data from institutional, learning, and what we call “developmental” analytics can be incorporated into course and curricular design by using a purposefully built analysis tool that permits the exploration of student and course objects. This Browser of Student and Course Objects (BoSCO) is being built in a faculty driven-process and can be used as a bridge between the analytics space and the course/curriculum design environments.
Xavier Prat-Resina has a PhD in Physical Chemistry. He is a faculty member at the “Center for Learning Innovation” in the UofM Rochester campus. His interests are the design of web materials to enhance student learning and to analyze student and course data to optimize the academic curriculum.
-It takes institutional, learning and developmental data to assess a curriculum.
-BoSCO is an agile tool that may encourage teachers to use analytics for course and curricular design.
-Evidence-based course design requires the involvement of many sectors of the academic institution.

Stephen Phillips - Implementing an inquiry based approach into our school
Presented at the SMEC & SAILS Conference “Thinking Assessment in Science & Mathematics” which was held on 24-25 June 2014 in the Dublin City University in Ireland.
Poster: Implementing an inquiry based approach into our school
We approached the use of inquiry in our school from two different perspectives: 1) How should we go about teaching inquiry at Wilson’s School? What topics shall we pilot teaching at Wilson’s teaching? What are the challenges faced by the teacher and by students? 2) What happens when we raise students’ self-awareness of their communication skills, using inquiry tasks? How will the staff and students feel towards inquiry-based lessons? Will they enjoy them? Will they trust them? Will they see the value in them and their relevance to the real world?

Approaching the why - Karen Sobel
This document provides an overview of the actor-oriented transfer (AOT) perspective and how it can be applied to understand students' information literacy processes. AOT examines students' decision-making and reasoning for using certain approaches over others. The presenter discusses how AOT differs from traditional views of transfer in focusing on students' perspectives and performance in authentic contexts. Examples of AOT research methodologies involving interviews and observations are provided. Key AOT terminology like "focusing phenomena" and "personal salience" are explained. The presenter's own AOT-based research exploring students' motivation for developing information literacy skills is summarized. The document concludes by guiding attendees in developing their own AOT-based research questions and methodology.
