Abstract

In this study, the relationship between subtest and total test was investigated by using hierarchical item response theory models in order to contribute to reliable subtest and total test score estimates. The RMSE and reliability of the total test score and subtest scores estimated by the Higher Order, Bi-factor and hierarchical MIRT models in the study were compared under the conditions of the size of the correlations between the subtests, subtest length and number of subtests. In addition, the performance of three models used in the research was examined on TEOG 2015 data. As a result of the study, in almost all conditions, when the correlation between the subtest and the subtest length increased, the RMSE of the ability parameters decreased and the reliability increased for the total test score obtained from the three estimation models. Under all conditions, the lowest RMSE values and the highest reliability values were yielded from Hierarchical MIRT model for subtest score recovery and from Hierarchical MIRT model for total test score recovery. In addition, all models estimated RMSE and reliability values close to each other at 0.8 level of correlation for total test score recovery. The RMSE values of the ability parameters for the subtest scores in two and three dimensional data were found to be not affected by the correlation level between the subtests while the subtest length decreased in the Hierarchical MIRT model; were found to decrease as the correlation between subtest and subtest length in the Higher Order model and were found to decrease as the subtest length increased, but significantly increased as the correlation between the subtests increased in the Bi-factor model.

Özet

Bu araştırmada güvenilir alt test ve toplam test puanı kestirimleri konusuna katkı sağlamak amacıyla alt test ve toplam test arasındaki ilişki hiyerarşik madde tepki kuramı modelleri ile araştırılmak istenmiştir. Çalışmada Üst Düzey Sıralı (Higher Order), İki Faktör (Bi-factor) ve hiyerarşik çok boyutlu madde tepki kuramı (ÇBMTK) modelleri ile kestirilen toplam test puanının ve alt test puanlarının RMSE ve güvenirlik değerleri alt test sayısı, alt test uzunluğu ve alt testler arasındaki korelasyonların büyüklüğü koşulları altında karşılaştırılmıştır. Ayrıca TEOG 2015 verileri üzerinde araştırmada kullanılan üç kestirim modelinin performansı incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda iki ve üç boyutlu verilerde hemen hemen tüm koşullarda alt test uzunluğu ve alt testler arasındaki korelasyonun arttıkça üç kestirim modelinden elde edilen toplam test puanı için yetenek parametreleri kestirim hatasının azaldığı, kestirim güvenirliğinin ise arttığı bulunmuştur. Toplam test puanları için Hiyerarşik ÇBMTK model ile tüm koşullarda en düşük RMSE değeri ve en yüksek güvenirlik değeri elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca korelasyonun 0.8 düzeyinde toplam test puanı için tüm modeller birbirine yakın RMSE ve güvenirlik değerleri ile kestirim yapmıştır. İki ve üç boyutlu verilerde alt test puanı için kestirilen yetenek parametrelerinin RMSE değerleri, Hiyerarşik ÇBMTK modelde alt test uzunluğu arttıkça azalırken alt testler arasındaki korelasyon düzeyinden etkilenmediği; Üst Düzey Sıralı modelde alt test uzunluğu ve alt testler arasındaki korelasyon arttıkça azaldığı; İki Faktör modelde ise alt test uzunluğu arttıkça azalırken alt testler arasındaki korelasyon arttıkça önemli düzeyde arttığı bulunmuştur.
