Choose the most correct option. The item discrimination index and the item-
total correlation are measures of …
differential item functioning
the frequency of choosing the correct response to an item
the predictive value of an item
the extent to which an item measures the same aspect as the total test
Refer to section 6.2.4.2 in the text book for a discussion on the discriminating
power of an item.
The correct answer is: the extent to which an item measures the same aspect as
the total test

Question 2
Correct

Foxcroft (2004) provides guidelines for the development of a multicultural test
(please see study note 3 under additional resources on myUnisa). She
distinguishes between three approaches, namely theory-based/rational, empirical
(criterion-keying), and criterion-referenced methods.
The Mathematical Proficiency Test (MPT11) is used to determine if a learner
who completed the Grade 11 Mathematics curriculum has attained a level of
proficiency that would enable the learner to complete the Grade 12 curriculum.
The content domain of the MPT11 was therefore defined by means of …
a theoretical review
a job analysis
an analysis of learning outcomes
contrasting groups
In section 6.2.1.3 of the prescribed book a theoretical review or theory-based
approach is described as “a thorough literature study of the main theoretical
viewpoints regarding the construct that is to be measured”. An analysis of
learning outcomes or the criterion-referenced approach is suitable in
educational contexts where “learning outcomes in specific learning areas,
subjects or programmes form the basis of the constructs to be tapped” and in
an organisational context the operational definition is based on “a job analysis
that identifies the competencies … needed to perform a job successfully…”.The
method of contrasting groups also called an empirical approach or criterion-
keying is described as follows: “If the measure needs to discriminate between
different groups of individuals … context-sensitive information will have to be
gathered about the aspects of the construct on which these groups usually
differ”.
In this scenario learning outcomes were used to define the content domain.
The correct answer is: an analysis of learning outcomes

(please see study note 3 under additional resources on myUnisa). She
distinguishes between three approaches, namely theory-based/rational, empirical
(criterion-keying), and criterion-referenced methods.
The Senior South African Individual Scale – Revised (SSAIS-R) was based on the
Wechsler model of intelligence and the test consists of a variety of tasks that
require intelligence. In combination these tasks measure a general factor of
intelligence consisting of two specific factors, namely verbal and non-verbal
intelligence. The content domain of the SSAIS-R was thus defined by means of …

construct to be measured applies to this scenario.
