    ANALYZING THE TEST

    After administering and scoring the test, the teacher


    should also analyze the quality of each item in the test.
    Through this can identify the item that is good item that
    needs improvement or items to be removed from the test.
    But when do we consider that the test is good? How do we
    evaluate the quality of eachi tem in the test? Why is it
    necessary to evaluate each item in the test? Lewis Aiken
    (1997) an author of psychological and educational
    measurement pointed out that a ‘’postmortem’’ is just as
    necessary in classroom assessment as it us medicine.
    In this section ,we shall introduce the technique to help
    teachers of a test item known as item analysis .One of the
    purpose of item analysis is to improve the quality of the
    assessment tools .Through this process we can identify the
    item that is to retained ,revised or rejected and also the
    content of the lesson that is mastered or not.
    There are two kinds of item analysis ,quantitative item
    analysis and qualitative item analysis.(Kubiszyn and Borich ,
    2007)
