| Abstract | The Gates-MacGinitie Reading Comprehension Test, fourth edition (GMRT-4) and the ACT Reading Tests (ACT-R) were administered to 423 high school students in order to explore the similarities and dissimilarities of data produced through classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT) analysis. Despite the many advantages of IRT demonstrated in simulation studies comparing CTT and IRT, it is still necessary to study the practical application of IRT to the measurement of reading comprehension assessment using actual test data in order to determine whether IRT's significant advantages persist. Accordingly, the following research questions were addressed: (a) To what degree does IRT offer a significant advantage over CTT when evaluating student reading comprehension ability? and (b) Which IRT model provides the best fit for the data? Results revealed that IRT's ability to provide more accurate information about item-level properties combined with independent trait calibration minimizing measurement error afforded significant advantages over CTT, thereby strengthening test design. It was determined that the 3-parameter logistic (3-PL) model provided better fit than did the 1-parameter (1-PL) and 2-paramenter (2-PL) models. (As Provided). |
