Analysis of Validity of Test Forms of Knowledge Control
Abstract
Purpose: The goal is to develop a technique for statistical analysis of validity of the test form of knowledge control which would differ from the available approaches by having a rule for cut-off score calculation according to the empirical data of the exam scores. Methods: A statistical-probabilistic approach was proposed for test validity control as a method of selective analysis which allows you to make judgements according to the specified level of significance. Results: A technique has been developed for test validity evaluation. It includes correlation analysis of the test results and exam scores, verification of the hypothesis of the test results distribution law and the construction of the rule of calculating cut-off scores based on the empirical frequency of the exam scores. Practical relevance: The developed technique promotes scientifically grounded introduction of test forms into the educational process. The article demonstrates the successful usage of this technique for the evaluation of test validity in the course ‘Didactics and Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language’.Published
