| Abstraksi | : | Item difficulty on tests administered to 25 undergraduate students in an introductory statistics course was systematically varied by manipulating the item content using a multiple-reversal, mixed within-between design. The hypothesis that test questions containing examples that are easier to relate to will produce higher scores than those that are abstract was not supported. In fact, the relationship between intended and empirical item difficulty was found to be paradoxical (students tended to perform better on items intended to be more difficult) and influenced by several background variables. The findings of the present experiment argue for an empirical evaluation of even face-valid item writing principles. |
