Abstract

This study examined the degree of comparability between two versions of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study s 1999 mathematics test results from the United States of America and Turkey. Measurement invariance was assessed between the two language versions of tests using differential item functioning analyses and exploratory factor analyses. The impact of the differences on the score scale comparability was also examined by comparing the test characteristic curves. Approximately 23% of the items were identified as differentially functioning for the two countries. The factor analyses indicated differences in the structure of the two tests. However, the effect of these differences on score scale comparability was minimal as was demonstrated by very similar test characteristic curves for the two language versions.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Amerika ve Türkiyede elde edilen 1999 Uluslararası Matematik ve Fen Eğilimleri Araştırması matematik test sonuçlarının ne ölçüde karşılaştırılabilir olduğu ele alınmıştır. Ölçme değişmezliği farklı işleyen madde analizleri ve açıklayıcı faktör analizleriyle incelenmiştir. Bu düzeyde görülen farklılıkların puanlama ölçeğine etkisi ise test karakteristik eğrileri karşılaştırılarak incelenmiştir. Matematik testindeki maddelerin yaklaşık %23ünün bu iki ülke arasında farklı işlediği belirlenmiştir. Diğer yandan faktör analiz sonuçları testlerin yapıları arasında da farklılık olduğunu göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte, iki farklı dildeki testlere ait test karakteristik eğrileri incelendiğinde bu farklılıkların puanlama ölçeğine etkisinin oldukça düşük olduğu görülmüştür.
