    1. The document describes procedures for reviewing and improving test items, including having teachers examine items for alignment, review multiple choice alternatives, and obtain discrimination indices. 2. Data is provided to calculate quality indices for test items to identify items needing revision, including looking at performance of upper and lower groups. 3. A distracter analysis table is given to obtain item statistics and evaluate the difficulty, discriminating power, plausibility of options, and ambiguity for an item.

    CLASSIFYING ITEM-IMPROVEMENT APPROACH 

    Below are descriptions of procedures done to review and improve items. On the  space
    provided, write J if a judgemental approach is used and E if empirically-based. 

    J 1. The Math Coordinator of Grade VII classes examined the periodical tests  prepared
    by the Math teachers to see if their items are aligned to the target  outcomes for the
    first quarter. 

    J 2. The alternatives of the multiple-choice items of the Social Studies test were 
    reviewed to discover if they have only one correct answer. 

    E 3. To determine if the items are efficiently discriminating between the more able 
    students from the less able ones, a Biology teacher obtained the  discrimination index
    (D) of the items. 

    E 4. A Technology Education teacher was interested to see if the criterion referenced test
    has devised shows a difference in the items’ post-test and  pre-test p-values. 

    J 5. An English teacher conducted a session with his students to find out if there are 
    other responses acceptable in their literature test. He encouraged them to  rationalize
    their answers.

    LM 8 – Activity 2
    Method Selection 

    This component will test your ability to apply empirical procedures for item
    improvement. 

    1. A final test in Science was administered to a Grade IV class of 50. The teacher wants to 
    improve further the items for next year’s use. Calculate a quality index that can be used 
    using the given data and indicate the possible revision needed by some items. 
    Item Number   Index  Revision needed to be done
    getting item
    correct

    1  34  0.68 Very good item

    2  18  0.36 Reasonably good item, but possibly subject to


    improvement

    3  10  0.2 Poor item, to be rejected or improved by


    revision

    4  46  0.92 Very good item

    5  8  0.16 Poor item, to be rejected or improved by


    revision

    2. Below are additional data collected for the same items. Calculate another quality index 
    and indicate what needs to be improved with the obtained index as a basis.
    Item  Upper   Lower Index  Revision needed to be done
    Group Group 

    1  25  9  0.32 Reasonably good item, but possibly subject


    to improvement

    2  9  9  0 Poor item, to be rejected or improved by


    revision

    3  2  8  -0.12 Poor item, to be rejected or improved by


    revision

    4  38  8  0.6 Poor item, to be rejected or improved by


    revision
    5  1  7  -0.12 Poor item, to be rejected or improved by
    revision

    3. A distracter analysis table is given for a test item given to a class of 60. Obtain the 
    necessary item statistics using the given data. 
    Item  Difficulty  Discriminati Group Alternatives
    Index (p)
    N = 30 on Index (D)
    A  B  *C  D  Omit

    1  0.42 0.007 Upper  2  18  5  0

    Lower  0  10  20  0

    Write your evaluation on the following aspects of the item:


    a. Difficulty of the item –
    The item is difficult for the upper class but was correctly answered by lower group

    b. Discriminating power of the item –


    It has a high discriminating index

    c. Plausibility of options –
    distractor ‘D’ is not working at all, because no one selected it.

    d. Ambiguity of the answer –


    Low percentage of ambiguity
