Abstract

Bu araştırmada iki kategorili Madde
Tepki Kuramı modelleri, farklı yetenek kestirim yöntemleri bağlamında
incelenmiştir. Araştırma 2015-2016 yılında 8. Sınıf öğrencilerin TEOG sınavının
matematik alt testinde yer alan 20 maddeye verdikleri yanıtlar ışığında
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu verilerden seçkisiz olarak seçilen 4000 yanıtlayıcı,
çalışma grubunu oluşturmaktadır. Veriler üzerinden yetenek kestirimleri ve bu
kestirimlere ait standart hata değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Bu kestirimler
tekrarlı ölçümler için iki faktörlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) kullanılarak
karşılaştırılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları 4PL modelin daha iyi uyum gösterdiğini
ortaya çıkartmıştır. WLE yetenek kestirim yönteminin doğruluğu MAP ve EAP
yetenek kestirim yönteminin doğruluğundan daha yüksektir. 4PL modele göre WLE,
3PL modele göre MAP yetenek kestirim modelinin standart hata değeri daha
düşüktür. En yüksek marjinal güvenirlik katsayı değeri 3PL model için MAP, 4PL
model için WLE yöntemine göre gerçekleştirilen kestirimlerden hesaplanmıştır.
Araştırma bulgularına dayalı olarak 4 PL model altında WLE kestirim yöntemine
göre gerçekleştirilen yetenek puanlarının doğruluğunun yüksek olduğu sonucuna
ulaşılmıştır.

Comparison of Different Ability Estimation Methods Based on 3 and 4PL Item Response Theory

Abstract

This research analyzed the two-category Item
Response Theory (IRT) models as part of different ability estimation methods.
The research was carried out in consideration of responses to 20 items under
the Mathematics subtest of TEOG (National Transition from Primary to Secondary
Education) exam by the 8th-grade students in 2015-2016. The study group
consisted of 400 students who were randomly selected from the students
participated in the TEOG exam. Ability estimations and standard error values
for these estimations were calculated based on the data. These estimations were
compared by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measurements
According to the research findings; it was revealed that the four-parameter
logistic (4PL) item model fit better. In terms of ability estimation methods,
the accuracy of Weighted Likelihood Estimation (WLE) was higher than Maximum A
Posteriori (MAP) and Expected A Posteriori (EAP). WLE and MAP ability estimation
model gave lower standard error values compared to the 4PL and 3PL model,
respectively. The highest marginal reliability coefficient value for the 3PL
model was calculated using estimations made according to MAP while estimations
made according to WLE were used for the 4PL model. According to the research
findings, it was concluded that the accuracy of ability scores obtained by the
WLE estimation method under the 4PL model was higher
