Reflection
My experience in self- learning the lesson is very challenging yet fulfilling. Challenging because I'm
the one who will figure out what will do each of the time, but ofcourse our instructor is very much willing
to help if we have questions in mind. Then, every time I follow the instructions given on our lecture by
myself after determine the answer, it makes me more interested and gives me the feeling of fulfilment.
In the process, I'm slowly realizing the importance of what I'm doing. From checking the test
papers then arranging them from lowest to highest. Next ascertain the said to be upper group and lower
group following the steps of an item analysis. Honestly I’ve repeated the procedure because the “n” that
I’ve used was wrong. I thought the “n” will be from the 1/3 of the total test paper that I have for the item
analysis. But I’ve realized that the test papers that I have was already a portion to the whole test papers
we have as a group on our past past activity.So,I did the item analysis again.
I did not do the option analysis because there's no item to be revised and they are mostly rejected
on the decision table. This decision was based on the discrimination and difficulty index of an item. I
supposed, in order to have an effective test questionairre there should be more retainable/ acceptable
items than other decisions. Where an item will be concluded as retain or accept if the difficulty index are
easy, moderately difficult, and difficult with a discrimination index of high discriminating. I've learned that
difficulty index determines the proportion of students who answer an item correctly. While the
discrimination index calculates the difference between those students who score well and those who score
poorly. This means, the two should be balanced to have a good item. I believe, if a lot of students will
miss an item then the teacher should review it's content to the class. And discarding or improving bad
items based on the item analysis may make the scores of the students more reliable and valid.
I guess, this type of learning is not that bad. But ofcourse it may be more effective if it is taught
personally by our instructor but due to our current situation which I understand is very risky to do so.
Because of this I've researched and read a lot. I hope I will not forget this analysis, because as a future
educator it will surely ameliorate my skills on designing an effective test paper. I surmise, improving the
items on a test questionnaire will improve the overall quality of the test. So, learning from your mistakes
