Relationships between Psychometric Dimensions of Item Quality and Student Ratings of Item Relevancy and Ambiguity
Green, Samuel B.; Halpin, Gerald
Research in Higher Education, 7, 3, 281-6, 77
Students rated the quality of the items on a classroom test taken previously and psychometric items were calculated. Results showed that student ratings were related to item difficulty and that better students rated items as less ambiguous. Ambiguity ratings were more highly related to the item-test correlations for better students. (Author/LBH)
