Developing an Item Bank for Progress Tests and Application of Computerized Adaptive Testing by Simulation in Medical Education
Öz: Progress Test (PT) is a form of assessment that simultaneouslymeasures ability levels of all students in a certain educational program and theirprogress over time by providing them with same questions and repeating theprocess at regular intervals with parallel tests. Our objective was to generatean item bank for the PT and to examine the possible fit of CAT for PTapplication. This study is a descriptive study. 1206 medical studentsparticipated. During the analysis of the psychometric properties of PT itembank, “the Rasch model for dichotomous items was used”. Several CATsimulations were performed by applying various stopping rules of differentstandard errors. CAT simulation estimates were compared with the estimatesgenerated from the original calibration of the Rasch model where all itemswere included. After Rasch analysis, a unidimensional PT item bank consistingof 103 items was obtained. The item bank reliability was calculated as 0.77with Person Separation Index (PSI) and Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR-20). A high correlation between θ estimations obtained from paper-and-pencil(θRM) and CAT applications (θCAT) was detected for simulation conditions([N(0,1)] and [N(0,3)]) at the end of our analysis. In CAT, estimation can bemade with an average of 14 questions (reduced 86,4%) and 17 questions(reduced 83,4%) [for N(0,1) and [N(0,3) respectively] with reliability of 0,75.This study reveals that it is possible to develop an appropriate item bank forthe PT, and the difficulty of administering large number of items in PT can bescaled down by incorporating CAT application.
