ITEM DIFFICULTY AND DISCRIMINATION AS A FUNCTION OF STEM COMPLETENESS
Psychological Reports, 1991The effects on item difficulty and discrimination of stem completeness (complete stem or incomplete stem) for multiple-choice items were studied experimentally. Subjects (166 junior education students) were classified into three achievement groups (low, medium, high) and one of two forms of a multiple-choice test was randomly assigned to each subject ...

Rubrics for assessment item difficulty in engineering courses
2015 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE), 2015A course in Engineering programs is designed and conducted to facilitate students to acquire a set of competencies to meet a subset of Program Outcomes(Graduate Attributes) identified by the accreditation agency. Formative and summative assessments, if in alignment with the competencies, enable the instructor to guide the students to learn well, and to

Cognitive Processing and Item Difficulty
1991In Chapter 2 we reviewed some of the models that have been proposed for the solution of analogy items. One family of models emphasizes the process for solving an analogy. The other emphasizes the knowledge or data structures and their contents needed to solve the problem.

Predicting the difficulty of automatic item generators on exams from their difficulty on homeworks
Proceedings of the Sixth (2019) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale, 2019To design good assessments, it is useful to have an estimate of the difficulty of a novel exam question before running an exam. In this paper, we study a collection of a few hundred automatic item generators (short computer programs that generate a variety of unique item instances) and show that their exam difficulty can be roughly predicted from ...

One-Trial Learning with Control of Item-Difficulty
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1968Ratings of difficulty were obtained for each of 2,500 letter-number pairs. The ratings were used to construct three pools of items: Homogeneous Easy, Homogeneous Difficult, and Heterogeneous. Rock's (1957) experiment was conducted thrice, once with each pool of rated items. Each replication used 30 subjects.

Summarizing Item Difficulty Variation with Parcel Scores
Journal of Educational Measurement, 2008A new method for analyzing differential item functioning is proposed to investigate the relative strengths and weaknesses of multiple groups of examinees. Accordingly, the notion of a conditional measure of difference between two groups (Reference and Focal) is generalized to a conditional variance.

An Item-Difficulty Based Speech Discrimination Test
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1971In an attempt to improve the differentiating ability of monosyllabic speech discrimination tests, two equivalent, 25-word test recordings with rectilinear distributions of item difficulty were constructed from W-22 Hirsh recordings. These lists and selected half lists of the standard W-22 recordings were then presented to 40 ears of listeners with ...

Realistic Simulation of Item Difficulties
Simulation studies are commonly used to improve understanding of psychometric models. For many common models, an essential feature of the simulation is the relative (to variation in person parameters) variation in item difficulties. A common practice has been to generate both item difficulty parameters and person parameters directly from a standard ...Lijin Zhang +5 more

Effects of Item Characteristics on Multiple-Choice Item Difficulty
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984MULTIPLE-choice test item responses may be influenced by a number of factors other than knowledge of content. Two factors, language difficulty and option set convergence, were experimentally manipulated and their effects on item difficulty assessed.
