چکیده | ||
کارگرد دوگانه سوال (DIF) وقتی اتفاق می افتد که آزمون شوندگان با سطح توانایی برابر از سازه مورد سنجش، عملکرد متفاوتی در هر کدام از سوالات یک آزمون داشته باشند. مطالعه حاضر به بررسی DIF در سوالات خواندن و درک مفاهیم آزمون منحصرا زبان ورودی دانشگاه های ایران می باشد. علاوه بر این در مطالعه حاضر روش DIF مبتنی بر مدل های تشخیصی طبقه بندی و روش منتل هنزل پرداخته شده است. بدین منظور پاسخ 10000 نفر از داوطلبان آزمون مذکور با استفاده از بسته های CDM و difRدر نرم افزار R استفاده گردید. نتایج نشان داد که در روش تشخیصی طبقه بندی یک سوال و در روش سنتی منتل هنزل دو سوال دارای DIF متوسط شناخته شدند که به نظر می رسد تهدیدی برای روایی سازه آزمون مورد نظر محسوب نمیشود. همچنین میتوان نتیجه گرفت هنگامی که نیمرخ خصیصه ای به عنوان متغیر جور کردنی استفاده می شود تعداد سوالات کمتری به عنوان DIF شناخته می شود. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
The present study investigates )DIF) in the reading comprehension items of the university entrance examination for the applicants into the English programs at Iranian universities. A diagnostic classification (DCM)-based method of DIF detection was used. A comparison was also made between the DCM-based method and the traditional Mantel-Hanzel method in which the matching variable was total score. To this end item responses of 10000 test takers who took the test in 2014 were analyzed using the CDM and difR packages in R. based on the DCM approach 1 item and based on the Mantel-Hanzel approach 2 items were flagged for moderate DIF. As to the construct validity of the test under study, it can be concluded that the results are generalizable across gender. A methodological implication of the present study is that when the matching variable in DIF detection methods is total score, more items are likely to be flagged for DIF, as compared with when the attribute profiles of the test takers are used as the matching variable. | ||
