The goal of this paper is to introduce the development and application of item response theory. First, the differences of item response theory and classical test theory are compared. Second, some useful and poplar item response models are mentioned, such as unidimensional one-parameter, two-parameter, three-parameter logistic models and multidimenstional models. Moreover, some recently proposed higer-order item response models are also described. Final part contains the applications of item response theory to the large scale education assessments and computerized adaptive tests. |
