Abstract

Introduction: The creation of a high-quality, valid, and reliable knowledge test for high school students will contribute to establishing dietary programs more conscious, for individuals and society. The aim of the study is to develop a valid and reliable nutrition knowledge test for high school students. Methodology: Data were collected from 346 high school students age from 14 to 18 years. Rasch modelling was used for validating the test. The expert group followed a five-step test developing process and developed 22 multiple-choice items. Results: Findings indicated that 20 of 22 test items showed high internal consistency and reliability for both test items and person participating in this study. The wright map indicated a well distributed item difficulties and relatively good person abilities. Conclusions: It is thought that the study findings obtained through the Rasch modelling and the knowledge test created will be a guiding tool in respect of multidimensionality, validity, and reliability for the concept, such as nutrition which is crucial in human life.

采用新颖研究设计的高中生营养知识测验的开发与验证:Rasch分析

前言:为高中生创建一个高质量、有效和可靠的知识测试将有助于为个人和社会建立更有意识的饮食计划。本研究旨在开发一套有效、可靠的高中生营养知识测验。方法:数据收集自346名14 - 18岁的高中生。采用Rasch模型对试验进行验证。专家小组遵循五步测试开发过程，开发了22个选择题。结果:22个测试项目中有20个对测试项目和参与者都具有较高的内部一致性和信度。赖特地图表明项目难度分布良好，个人能力相对较好。结论:我们认为，通过Rasch模型和创建的知识测试获得的研究结果将在多维度，效度和信度方面为概念提供指导工具，例如营养对人类生活至关重要。
