CED 106 MIDTERM

What is the primary purpose of item analysis?

• To grade tests

• To evaluate individual test items for effectiveness

• To create new test items

• To establish a grading scale

Which type of validity ensures that a test covers the relevant content domains?

• Construct validity

• Criterion-related validity

• Content validity

• Predictive validity

What does reliability refer to in educational assessment?

• The average score on a test

• The consistency of test scores across time and forms

• The difficulty level of test items

• The amount of content covered

Test-retest reliability measures:

• The variability in scores from different raters

• The stability of test scores over time

• The consistency across different forms of a test

• The alignment with learning objectives

An item with a difficulty index greater than 80% is considered:

• Difficult

• Moderate

• Easy

• Irrelevant

The discrimination index helps to determine:

• The total number of test items

• How well an item differentiates between high and low performers

• The clarity of test instructions

• The grading scale for the test

Which of the following types of validity assesses how well one measure predicts an outcome based on another measure?

• Content validity

• Construct validity

• Criterion-related validity

• Internal validity

High internal consistency is typically measured by:

• Test-Retest method

• Cronbach's Alpha

• Pearson correlation

• Content analysis

A low discrimination index indicates that:

• The item effectively differentiates between groups

• High performers are less likely to answer correctly

• The item does not effectively differentiate between test-takers

• The test is too easy for all test-takers

The first step in evaluating test items for validity and reliability is:

• Grading the tests

• Aligning items with learning objectives

• Calculating scores

• Writing new test items
