TEST DISCRIMINATION

DISCRIMINATION INDEX
DISCRIMINATING MODERATELY DISCRIMINATING VERY DISCRIMINATING
TEST ITEM NUMBERS 2,3,4,5,6,8,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17 1,7,9,25,43, 18,28,34,50

33,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,44,45,46
47,48,49
(41) (5) (4)

Based on the table shown, there are 41 test items classified as discriminating which means even the low performing students more likely to get these
items correctly.
While there are 4 items classified as very discriminating which means questions should be carefully analyzed and probably changed. Categorizing questions
based on the Bloom’s taxonomy addresses Level 1 and those Level 2 will test the learning abilities of the students. Majority of the questions that demand
higher level thinking skills are too difficult or do not discriminate well. We should concentrate on improving those question and focus in instructional
strategies on higher level skills.

For slight revision example test item number 5. In using different ingredients in preparing stocks which one don’t belong?
A. Bones B. Scraps & left overs C. Mirepoix D. Margarine
To:” Which one is not an ingredient in preparing stocks?”
Choices: A. Bones B. Scraps & left overs C. Mirepoix D. Margarine
My general impression to the test items is most of the test item questions are accepted with minor revision. Test items must be appropriate for the
learning outcome to be measured. Test items should measure all types of instructional objectives and the whole content area. Test items should be
free from ambiguity and should be of appropriate difficulty level.
