Using The Andrich Rating Scale Model (ARSM) to build a Scale for the Academic Proficiency Among Cairo University Students Psychometric Study

Abstract

The current research aims to prepare a tool to measure the academic proficiency level of Cairo University students, so that it has acceptable psychometric properties, where the tool was applied to students of the Graduate Education -Faculty of Physiotherapy -Faculty of Commerce at Cairo University, according to Andrich's rating scale according to the first dimension of the response theory to the individual. Where it was applied to the number of 577 male and female students, where 100 students were deleted so that the number was 477, where the validity of the tool was confirmed through the traditional and modern method of measurement so that the tool in its final form consisted of 48 items distributed over five dimensions, and the R program and the program were used Winsteps in conducting analysis.

Psychometric Characteristics of the Kalam Cognitive Test (KCT): An Andrich Rating Scale Analysis

“…An important characteristic of the Andrich Rating Scale is that it provides a means of estimating the measurement stability of items within item thresholds and that a single parameter is established across a sample of individuals (i.e., parameter stability). In the current context, the consistent assessment provides a way to determine the extent to which item ratings or individual item parameters show changes in rating events (Youssef, 2022). In Indonesia, research that explores the psychometric characteristics of the science of Kalam cognitive test using the Andrich Rating Scale is quite difficult to find.…”
