Experiences in the Application of Item Response Theory in Test Construction.
Green, Donald Ross; And Others – 1988
Potential benefits of using item response theory in test construction are evaluated, based on the experience and evidence accumulated during 9 years of using a three-parameter model in the construction of major achievement batteries. Specific benefits covered include obtaining sample-free item calibrations and item-free person measurement,…
