英文摘要 |
Based on the integrated cognitive assessment model proposed by Lin and Liu (1997a) and the research findings of Lin, Liu and Liang (1997b), this study aims to investigate the following questions: (1) whether adding subjects coming from lower age levels may increase the degree of model fit of LLTM, and (2) whether the response patterns, due to the new subjects, may enhance the stability of the weights of the LLTM components. Hence, unlike Lin, Liu and Liang (1997b) whose samples were college students only, this study includes additional samples from 8th grader to 11th grader students.Compared with Lin, Liu and Liang (1997b), this study shows two significance difference. First, the data from the overall samples does not well fit the Rasch Model, in stead fits 3 pl model: the data from the high school subjects, however, fits the Rasch Model. The result suggests consistency within the same age groups but diversity between different age groups. Second, the LLTM analysis of the two age groups reveals different ranking of component weights. The difference results in constructing two difference item generation algorithms. Some discussions and suggestions are also given in the study. |
