Hsieh, Mingchuan – Language Testing, 2013
When implementing standard setting procedures, there are two major concerns: variance between panelists and efficiency in conducting multiple rounds of judgments. With regard to the former, there is concern over the consistency of the cutoff scores made by different panelists. If the cut scores show an inordinately wide range then further rounds…

Huang, Tsai-Wei – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
The study compared the aberrance detection powers of the BW person-fit indices with other group-based indices (SCI, MCI, NCI, and Wc&Bs) and item response theory based (IRT-based) indices (OUTFITz, INFITz, ECI2z, ECI4z, and lz). Four kinds of comparative conditions, including content category (CC), types of aberrance (AT), severity of…

Chan, Wan-Hua; Leu, Yuh-Chyn; Chen, Chung-Ming – Journal of Experimental Education, 2007
Understanding students' conceptual deficiencies of fractions is an essential step toward effective teaching. The authors proposed a novel 2-component multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) model to analyze students' conceptual deficiencies of fractions in a group-wise fashion. They identified 5 latent classes for the 5th and 6th graders in…

Lai, Ah-Fur; Chen, Deng-Jyi; Chen, Shu-Ling – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2008
The IRT (Item Response Theory) has been studied and applied in computer-based test for decades. However, almost of all these existing studies evaluated focus merely on test questions with text-based (or static text/graphic) type of presentation form illustrated exclusively. In this paper, we present our study on test questions using both…
