Gurdil Ege, Hatice; Demir, Ergul – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2020
Purpose: The present study aims to evaluate how the reliabilities computed using a, Stratified a, Angoff-Feldt, and Feldt-Raju estimators may differ when sample size (500, 1000, and 2000) and item type ratio of dichotomous to polytomous items (2:1; 1:1, 1:2) included in the scale are varied. Research Methods: In this study, Cronbach's a,…

Slepkov, A. D.; Van Bussel, M. L.; Fitze, K. M.; Burr, W. S. – SAGE Open, 2021
There is a broad literature in multiple-choice test development, both in terms of item-writing guidelines, and psychometric functionality as a measurement tool. However, most of the published literature concerns multiple-choice testing in the context of expert-designed high-stakes standardized assessments, with little attention being paid to the…

Zijlmans, Eva A. O.; Tijmstra, Jesper; van der Ark, L. Andries; Sijtsma, Klaas – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2018
Reliability is usually estimated for a total score, but it can also be estimated for item scores. Item-score reliability can be useful to assess the repeatability of an individual item score in a group. Three methods to estimate item-score reliability are discussed, known as method MS, method [lambda][subscript 6], and method CA. The item-score…
