  1. Performance based analysis for profiling skills and competencies for progress files Carol Collins Research Fellow in Teaching and Learning

  2. Introduction • Exploratory item analysis into student performance on computer-based assessment (CBA) tests • Do stronger or weaker students perform better or worse on different question types. • Multiple-choice, Multiple Response, Hotspots and Selections • Profiling of students’ performance on CBA tests for PDP portfolios

  3. Example of Multiple Response

  4. Example of Hot Spot

  5. Example of Selection Question

  6. Methodology • 3 Examinations • Two Personal development planning (PDP) • One Scheme Module • Cohort totalling 325 students • Top 20% taken and put into 2 groups for each of the examinations • Question analysis taking: • Average score • Facility • Discrimination

  7. Results • The HOT SPOT questions discriminates the most (1.04 difference in score per question) • The Multiple-choice is second (0.97) • Multiple Response (0.59) • Selection (0.34)

  8. Results Cont: The three following slides show the facility score for the question types

  9. CONCLUSION • Stronger students perform better on hot spots than weaker students • Multiple-choice questions are effective at discriminating between students • Question types that have variable ratios between correct and incorrect responses should be constructed with caution so they are not to easy or too hard • Item analysis can inform practitioner on best ways of improving performance • Students can use feedback on performance to help improve practice

  10. RECOMMENDATIONS • Further investigation into performance of stronger weaker students on item types • Sharing and pooling of resources (test items) • Build calibrated item banks for testing PDP skills and competencies that are interdisciplinary • Practitioner to use data to inform practice • Students to use test transcripts for PDP • Students to use data from item analysis reports for reflective practice and evaluation for PDP portfolio
