摘要

本研究考察了东南区国家考试委员会(NECO)农业科学多项选择测试项目(2015-2017 年)的差异项目功能。研究采用了描述性调查研究设计和事后研究设计。研究中提出并检验了两个零假设。研究对象包括 10 194 名农业科学专业学生。从 72 所被选中的中学中按比例抽取了 728 名农业科学高中学生(SSS III)作为研究样本。研究采用了多阶段抽样技术。用于数据收集的工具是2015-2017年编制的NECO卷III试题。该工具经过了教育测量与评价和农业推广教育专家的再次验证。获得的数据使用 Kuder Richardson Formular 20 进行分析,信度指数为 0.76。研究数据采用 Scheuneman 修正的卡方统计法对所有研究问题进行分析,并采用卡方统计法对零假设进行检验。结果表明,2015-2017 年 NECO 农业科学选择题考试中使用的农业科学选择题考试项目中,有一些考试项目因性别不同而对考生产生显著的功能差异,在 2015-2017 年 NECO 农业科学选择题考试中,男女生在产生功能差异的项目百分比上没有显著差异。因此,除其他外,建议测试专家和开发人员在确定差异项目功能时考虑使用 Scheuneman 修正卡方。

ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENTIAL ITEM FUNCTIONING OF NATIONAL EXAMINATIONS COUNCIL AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE MULTIPLE CHOICE TEST ITEMS IN SOUTH EAST, NIGERIA
The study examined the differential item functioning of National Examinations Council (NECO) Agricultural Science multiple choice test items (2015-2017) in South East Zone. The study adopted descriptive survey research design and ex-Post-Facto research design. Two null hypotheses were formulated and test in the study. The population of the study consisted of 10, 194 Agricultural Science students. Sample size of 728 Agricultural Science Senior Secondary School students (SSS III) were proportionately drawn from the 72 selected secondary schools that constituted the sample size of the study. A multi-stage sampling technique was used for the study. The instrument used for data collection was NECO paper III questions constructed in 2015-2017.The instrument was re-validated by experts in Educational Measurement and Evaluation and Agricultural Extension Education. The data obtained was analysed using Kuder Richardson Formular 20 with reliability indices of 0.76. Data obtained for the study were analyzed using the Scheuneman modified Chi-square statistic to analyze all the research questions and chi-square statistic was employed in testing the null hypotheses. Results showed that that Agricultural Science multiple-choice test items used in NECO 2015-2017, contain test items that significantlyfunctioned differentially for testees on the basis of gender and that there was no significant difference between male and female students on the percentage of items which functioned differentially in the 2015-2017 NECO Agricultural Science multiple choice test examination. It was thus recommended among others that test experts and developers should consider the use of Scheuneman modified chi-square in determining differential item functioning.
