Timofte, Laura Siminiciuc  \nAbstract: The scope this article was to develop an instrument to measure Chemistry students’ ability regarding‘physical bonding’ and to validate it. A number of 24 items were developed by mapping items to cognitive levels described by the Marzano taxonomy. A number of N=73 students were evaluated. Four items exhibited a MNSQ >1.3 and were eliminated from the final data analysis. At the final data analysis, the item difficulty measures were in normal ranges, as well as item separation and item reliability values. Person separation and person reliability values were showing that the number of items must be increased, since the instrument may not be sensitive enough to differentiate between low and high performers. Nevertheless, it was proven that the utilisation of Marzano’s taxonomy in the development of items was successful in the sense that the items had difficulty measures in normal ranges and that the items had different levels of difficulty.  \nKey words: Rasch model, Marzano taxonomy, assessment, physical bonding, Chemistry students  \n1. Introduction  \nItem Response Theory (IRT) is used for the validation of instruments and to provide data regarding the item difficulty and person ability. Many studies focused on the comparison between Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory (for example, Hambleton & Jones, 1993; Wiberg, 2004) .  \nThe two most used IRT models are the 1-and 2-parameter logistic (1PL & 2 PL) . The probability for student i to respond correct at question / item j is calculated after the following equation (Equation 1):  \nEquation 1. Probability for student i to respond correct to to item j-The 1PL Model  \nWhere  is student’s ability and bj is the difficulty of task j (Rasch, 1960, Boone et al, 2014) . High  \nvalues for  indicate a high ability level and high values for b indicate difficult items. The values of item difficulty or person ability are normally in the range [-3, 3] logit. Values outside this range show that there is a problem with the measured items.  \nInformation regarding how well a particular item discriminates between students with different abilities can be also obtained. The discrimination parameter, aj, could be added, forming the 2PL model (Equation 2):  \nEquation 2. Probability for student i to respond correct to to item j-The 2PL Model  \nwhere and bj have the same meaning like in the 1PL model, and aj represents discrimination of item j. The values for aj are normally in the range [0, 2], and the higher values indicate items which differentiate better students’ ability (Sudol & Struder, 2010) . Altrough the 1PL model is sometimes associated with the Rasch model, there are differences between the Rasch model and the 1PL model (Linacre, 2005) .  \nThe Rasch model was elaborated by the Danish mathematician George Rasch in 1960. This model was developed in order to overcome the problems which appear when using classical test theory in analysis of instruments (Boone, 2016, Jackson et al, 2002) . More exactly, because the items have different difficulty levels, the raw scores obtained by summing up the correct answers can not be used to compare students ‘ability. Furthermore, Rasch technique can be used to transform the non-linear raw data in linear scales, which can then be evaluated by the utilization of statistical parametric tests.  \nSome of the parameters considered when analyzing an instrument using the Rasch model are: item fit, item separation and reliability, person separation and reliability, Wright map, discrimination (Linacre & Wright, 2000) . Assessment of item fit is reported in two ways: INFIT and OUTFIT (Linacre & Wright, 2000, Jackson et al, 2002) . INFIT shows unexpected behavior observed at the responses near the person’s ability level. OUTFIT shows if unexpected responses or outliers are found, taken in ","cbCaii5vjsfD3ogJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii5vjsfD3ogJ","pdf",535498,"English","# 1.
