Investigating Item Bias in a CS1 Exam with Differential Item Functioning [PDF]

open access: possibleProceedings of the 52nd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2021
Reliable and valid exams are a crucial part of both sound research design and trustworthy assessment of student knowledge. Assessing and addressing item bias is a crucial step in building a validity argument for any assessment instrument. Despite calls for valid assessment tools in CS, item bias is rarely investigated.

AN ITERATIVE ITEM BIAS DETECTION METHOD

Journal of Educational Measurement, 1984
Two strategies for assessing item bias are discussed: methods that compare (transformed) item difficulties unconditional on ability level and methods that compare the probabilities of correct response conditional on ability level. In the present study, the logit model was used to compare the probabilities of correct response to an item by members of ...

Item bias detection: Modern approaches

2005
A general definition of differential item functioning (DIF) is presented. The definition is specified for DIF between two groups and a test (questionnaire) that measures one latent trait. Methods for DIF detection are described for dichotomous, ordinal-polytomous, and continuous item responses under unidimensional item response theory (IRT) models.

Detecting Item BIAS in Affective Scales

Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1987
The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the use of confirmatory factor analysis to investigate the existence of item bias in an affective scale measuring self-concept. The data were collected from three ethnic groups (Black, Hispanic, and White) in grade eight (N = 1264). The factor structure and item uniqueness were simultaneously compared across

Contingency Table Models for Assessing Item Bias

Journal of Educational Statistics, 1982
Two strategies for assessing item bias are discussed: Methods based on Item x Group interaction and methods that compare the probabilities of a correct response for different groups conditional on ability level. In latent trait models, correct response probabilties are compared conditional on latent ability; in Scheuneman’s (1979) method these ...
