The Accuracy Of Estimating The Item Difficulty Parameter Of The One Parameter Logistic Model Using The Pairwise Method In Light Of Sample Size And Test Length Change, Mohammad Al-Yassin, Amal Al-Zoubi

Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series

This study aimed at investigating the accuracy of estimating the item difficulty parameter of the one parameter logistic model using the pairwise method in light of sample size and test length change. To achieve the study objective, the data of binary responses were generated by five different sample size (50, 100, 250, 500, 1000) examinee, and four different length test (20, 30, 40, 70) item using simra function in the pairwise package in R program by determining the level of the ability and difficulty parameter is between (-3, 3) normally distributed with a mean 0 and a standard deviation 1. …

Constructing A Criterion-Referenced Test In Psychometric Subjects According To Item Response Theory, Sami Al-Massarweh, Fatima Al-Qeyam, Ahmad Hani Al-Qatawneh

Journal of the Association of Arab Universities for Research in Higher Education (مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية (للبحوث في التعليم العالي

The article aimed to construct criterion-referenced in the psychometric subject based on item response theory. The sample consisted of (121) participants (54 male & 67 female) selected from the Department of Psychology at Isra University (Jordan) during the second semester of the academic year 2021/2022. The criterion-referenced test consisted of (36) items following a multiple-choice shape in which each item has 4 options. The results showed the assumptions of items response theory in the study data and matched the responses to (34) items. The results found that there were two items that did not match the model of item response …
