If our learners learned what we taught,
we would never need to assess

Which topics are
students struggling
with?
Is a particular
question as difficult,
complex, or rigorous
as you intend it to be
Do students really know
the answer or just
applying the test taking
strategies to eliminate
the wrong answers
Which items should be
eliminated or revised
before use in subsequent
test administration?
Does the item do an
excellent job of separating
students who know the
content from those who
may guess the correct
answer?
How can we
determine correct
and faulty test items?
How do we ensure
test effectiveness
and fairness?
How can we
improve the quality
of our test?
One way to
increase visibility
into student

item analysis
What is Item
Analysis?
Item Analysis
is a statistical technique
which is used for selecting
& rejecting the items of the
test on basis of their
difficulty value &
discriminated power
An item analysis
provides three kinds
of important
information about the
quality of test items.
It reveals;
1. Item
difficulty:
A measure of
whether an item was
too easy or too hard.
2 Item
discrimination:
A measure of whether an item

discriminated between students who

knew the material well and students who

did not
3. Effectiveness of
alternatives:
Determination of whether distractors

(incorrect but plausible answers) appear

to be identified by the less able students

and not by the more able students.


How to Determine if an Item Is Easy
or Difficult

An item is difficult if majority


of learners are unable to provide
the correct answer.
How to Determine if an Item Is Easy
or Difficult

The item is easy if majority

of the learners are able to

answer correctly
How to Determine if an Item Is Easy
or Difficult

An item can discriminate if the

examinees who score high in the test can

answer more items correctly than

examinees who got low scores


STEPS
in

ITEM ANALYSIS
and

VALIDATION
STEPS IN ITEM ANALYSIS AND
VALIDATION
1. Score the test
2. Arrange the test papers from highest to lowest
3. Identify the upper and lower limits
4. Prepare a tally sheets
5. Convert the frequency to proportion
6. Compute for the difficulty index
7. Compute for the discrimination Index
8. Decide whether to retain, revise or reject the item
Large scale testing answer sheets are usually
scanned by a machine to capture test takers
item responses.

Manual scoring are often done for classroom


test where learner’s answers are checked
against prepared scoring key. They are
considered correct from multiple choice item
that match the scoring key and obtain
1 point credit.
Place the highest
score on top and the
lowest score must be
at the bottom.

Test papers with the


same scores need not
to be arrange
1. Get the scores of each learner and
arrange scores from highest to lowest.
27% is used because it has
shown that this value will
maximize differences in
normal distributions while
providing enough cases for
analysis ( Wiersma and Jurs (1990)
Difficulty Index
The percentage of students taking
the test who answered the items
correctly.
The larger the percentage of
getting an item right, the easier the
item.
The higher the difficulty index, the
easier the item is understood. ( wood 1960)

it!
Discrimination Index
Is a measure of how well an item
is able to distinguish between
examinees who are knowledgeable
and those who are not
