EDU108-AOL-IRT Activity

How does a traditional test typically determine a student's score?

• By considering the difficulty of each question answered correctly.

• By assigning a score based solely on the number of correct answers.

• By comparing the student's performance to a national average.

• By adapting the test difficulty based on the student's responses.

What does Item Response Theory (IRT) consider when determining a student's score?

• Only the total number of correct answers.

• The properties of the test items, including their difficulty.

• The student's effort and time spent on the test.

• The student's previous test scores.

In the context of the Item Response Theory model used by Renaissance, what does "unidimensional" imply about the items?

• They measure multiple abilities simultaneously.

• They are designed to be equally difficult for all students.

• They measure only one specific ability.

• They can be scored in various ways.

What does it mean for items to be "dichotomously scored" in Item Response Theory?

• Students receive partial credit for answers.

• Items have multiple correct answers.

• A student either gets the item completely right or completely wrong.

• The scoring depends on the student's overall performance.

Which of the following is a benefit of using Item Response Theory models?

• They simplify test creation by removing the need for item analysis.

• They allow direct comparison of student scores even when students answer different questions.

• They only provide a raw score, making interpretation straightforward.

• They are less complex than traditional scoring methods.
