- Item Analysis Sample Clauses

- Item Analysis. Since item analysis is the most objective method of identifying questionable items on promotional examinations, the Office of Human Resources will continue the process of bringing items so identified to the attention of the Item Review Board, which consists of departmental representatives as determined by the Fire Chief. The Association may designate an employee, of equal or higher rank than the exam being reviewed, to participate on the Item Review Board. Constructive input into the examination content will be a part of the Item Review Board process.

- Item Analysis. Smarter Balanced Assessments Analysis of the Smarter Balanced Assessment will be performed by the Smarter Balanced Consortium. ETS will fully cooperate with the development of appropriate reports, and ETS psychometricians will document relevant technical information to provide the CDE with additional information and analyses, as necessary, for the maintenance of the Smarter Balanced ELA and mathematics assessments. Continuing CAASPP Assessments CAASPP involves the administration of linear forms of current paper-pencil assessments. For each item on these forms, ETS will provide the following information: the proportion of examinees selecting the correct response the IRT difficulty parameter (b) point-biserial and biserial correlation coefficients used to measure item discrimination the test characteristic curve the IRT item fit classification for each item plots of item difficulties (as measured by the b parameter) estimated in prior administrations, and the b parameter estimated in the current population raw score to scale score conversion tables with frequencies and the associated conditional standard errors of measurement for each raw score New Assessments After ETS receives all of the student response data for the new assessments, implements scoring rules, checks the data files, and applies agreed-upon valid case criteria rules to the data, ETS will conduct item analyses. The item analyses compute important statistics for every item of the test. The statistics provide key information about the quality of each item from an empirical perspective. ETS will perform this analysis to evaluate item difficulty, item discrimination, and student raw score performance of selected response (SR) items and hand-scored constructed response (CR) items. These analyses help identify any items that might not have performed as expected. Summary Analyses ETS will provide the CDE with summary analyses at the end of each test administration. The purpose of the summary analyses is to provide the CDE with a preliminary summary of the statewide test results. Typical summary analyses include percent at proficient or above, mean scale scores, and comparisons to selected LEAs. By Xxx annually, ETS will work with the CDE to agree upon the summary analyses that will be provided.
