Advanced Test Development Morning Item Writing.
Good item writing speaks to the important issue of measurement validity.
It reflects on the overall credibility of the examination process and the capabilities of the test-maker. This analysis provides a summary of important item statistics, such as the proportion of individuals who answer the item correctly, the distribution of individuals who chose each of the incorrect answers, and the relationship of success on the total test and success on an individual item. In this interactive session, we ll explain how to read and interpret these valuable data, using items written as part of an earlier EPA workshop. This session focuses more on cultures of people of Hispanic descent, with emphasis on the experience of the National Catholic Institute for Pastoral Leadership and Language Studies.
