Evaluating students performance in advanced programming final exam questions
Students grade in a subject is determine mainly from the final examination marks. The final exam questions need to be reliable in order to measure the performance of students in the particular subject. Rasch model able to measure the reliability of an instrument, the final exam questions. A total of 60 students from the School of Information Technology sat for the Advanced Programming final examination. Marks were entered in excel and transferred as *prn format. Marks were analyzed against the Rasch model, WINSTEPS. The summary statistics for person, summary statistics for item, item dimensionality, item statistics, item distribution map and person distribution map are among the output being analyzed. Two items were identified as misfit items. The Advanced Programming exam questios was very reliable and able to give insight view of the questions. A corrective action is taken to review the misfit item and rephrase the item
EVALUATING THE RELIABILITY OF PRE-TEST DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS QUESTIONS USING RASCH MEASUREMENT MODEL
A good exam questions should be able to gauge student’s understanding and achievement related to Course Outcome (CO), Bloom’s Taxonomy level and Programme Outcome (PO). To achieve this, a set of pre-test questions were prepared to evaluate the pre achievement level among the students related to CO, PO and the Bloom’s Taxonomy level. In this study, a pre-test for
Differential Equations (KKKQ2123) was given to 100 second year students from the department of Electrical, Electronic and Systems Engineering. The level of Bloom’s Taxonomy measured consists of level 1 (knowledge) to level 6 (creation). Rasch Measurement Model was applied to analyse the reliability of the pre-test questions. The analysis revealed that all the pre-test questions were reliable and no questions were found unsuitable. Prior assessment (pre-test) is important in the preparation of final exam questions as it would indicate the level of student’s understanding in a particular topic that relates to the CO and PO of the programme
Evaluating performance of students in engineering statistics final exam questions
Engineering Statistics is one of Engineering Mathematics subject which is common for all the engineering courses besides Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations and Numerical Analysis. Students performance in Engineering Statistics subject can be evaluated examining through the final exam questions. Students need to understand the concept learn through a semester or 14 weeks of period and do necessary preparation to do the final exam questions. Rasch model is used to evaluate students performance in Engineering Statistics examination. A total of 114 engineering students sat for Engineering Statistics final examination. There are 5 Course Outcomes and 2 Programme Outcomes for Engineering Statistics subject. The final exam marks were entered in excel. Then the marks transferred to *prn format. Next Rasch model generate the output. The outputs are summary statistics for person, summary statistics for item, item map and person map. The summary statistics for person able to groups the students into 2 groups, namely high performers and low performers. On the other hand, the items can be group into 4 groups. They are difficult, mediocre, easy and very easy. The item map and the person map able to show those groups clearl
Evaluation of pilot test on improving students’ performance using rasch model
Poor performance of students in Engineering Mathematics can be overcome by introducing innovative way in teaching. Teaching Engineering Mathematics via lab has been proven to boost the students’ performance in Engineering Mathematics. Thus, the objective of this study is to conduct a pilot test to evaluate students’ knowledge prior to introducing lab session to engineering undergraduates. A pilot test was conducted on third semester students in engineering faculty. A total of 35 students from Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Chemical Engineering participated in the pilot test. Six course outcomes are chosen from Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra and Ordinary Differential Equations subjects. Six subjective questions were prepared and the questions were validated by three internal experts. The results of the test were analyzed against Rasch model. The item reliability 0.69 shows an average difficulty of spread of the pilot test questions. Furthermore, the summary statistics for item shows the questions can be separated into two different groups. The person-item distribution map shows that the distribution of questions categorized into difficult and easy groups. Question1 and question 2 fall into easy group. Question 3, question 4 and question 5 and question 6 fall into difficult group
