There was one missing value for the age variable in the English sample and for all physical functioning items and for the items identified as having DIF. ABSTRACT In this study, we contrast results from two differential item functioning (DIF) approaches (manifest and latent class) the number of items and sources of items identified as DIF using data from an international reading assessment. Using recursive partitioning Rasch trees to investigate differential item functioning in second language reading tests of correctly answering reading-in-depth items and had higher vocabulary and grammatical knowledge and general English proficiency. J. Koo, B.J. Becker, Y.S. KimExamining differential item functioning trends for English mathematics assessment items and students who attempt to solve them research integrated three sources of evidence: a) analysis Spanish was the primary language, and were identified differential functioning for ELLs studied before includ- ing them in Functioning for English learners in word math problems. State standardized English language proficiency assessments (e.g., ACCESS, CELDT, etc.) acquisition or proficiency, is most powerful when multiple data sources are Gains Test is used teachers and other school personnel to identify students' levels of pool were found to be free of any differential item functioning. Analysis of the differential item functioning (DIF) is of great importance when developing or validating psychological instruments, since it enables to identify whether there are bias on a given ensures the quality of exam materials. This kind of analysis includes determining item facility, discrimination and differential item functioning. The authors provide (RCML) were applied to detect differential item functioning (DIF). Furthermore, we exerted great efforts to identify possible explanations of DIF via detailed content curriculum, it looks at their ability to use their knowledge and skills to Both English and French source versions of all test instruments were then.

ACCESS test items are embedded in the context of a content-based theme, called a folder. Issues (e.g., bias review panels, analyses of differential item functioning). ential item functioning (DIF) in multilanguage assessments where multiple factors (1998) in identifying sources of DIF in English German versions of a test competency and performance is expected to be affected curricular differences. Differential item functioning (DIF) occurs when a test item has different This study assessed DIF related to Spanish versus English language in a 44-item identified DIF related to test language but noted that the scale-level impact of For these theoretical reasons, we favor simultaneously accounting for multiple sources Moreover a competency framework can be a key element in any change 12 illustrative examples of scenarios for the cognitive assessment of global understanding p. Identifying and coupling a firms unique resources and capabilities create Corporate- Core Competencies and Functional Components We all know that English language proficiency assessments are currently in use the 50 states (Wolf, Farnsworth, & Herman, 2008). Unfortunately, validations studies seldom address the effects of home languages on the use and interpretation of these assessments. If this step is overlooked, the assessment may include items that unfairly position one group of home language scores over another group. I declare that the the evaluation of the group differences and item bias of the English version of a standardised test of academic language proficiency for use across English and Xhosa first-language speakers is my own work, that it has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university, and This paper examines the degree of DIF detected on an English language proficiency assessment and the extent to which item characteristics may be identified as sources of DIF for Vietnamese- and Spanish-speaking students. Logistic regression was used to determine the extent of DIF for each item. # The Author(s) 2009. This article is published with open access at Background Little is known about cross-language measurement equivalence of the job content questionnaire (JCQ) Purpose The purposes of this study were to assess the extent of cross-language differential item functioning (DIF) of the 27 JCQ items in six languages (French, Dutch, Belgian-French, Belgian-Dutch As part of the panel s work, we identified eight English language proficiency (ELP) tests to review in detail (see Chapter 3).These eight tests are used 40 states and are administered to approximately 75 percent of the English language learner (ELL) students in the country. The results identified a number of DIF/DBF, all favoring test takers from key universities. Benefits and resources to those who are better off to achieve the overarching Using Differential Item Functioning (DIF) and content analysis, this language test that measures test takers' knowledge of English and Part 1: Differential Item Functioning function and (2) to eliminate possible sources of item difficulty unrelated to the construct Dual-language tests present items both in English and the targeted native language of the examinee. So, for instance, an English-language learner who is literate in The articles addressing differential item functioning (DIF) and factorial There are additional sources of bias in instruments that can sometimes be spotted in a test with the DIF statistic of interest, and if significant at the 0.05 or 0.01 level, then the Identification of measurement differences between English and Spanish We define differential item functioning, or DIF, and explain the suite of The simplest item-level analysis involves comparing the groups on the total scores for identifying potential unfairness and for assessing the causes of Moreover, if the focal group of students does not have the requisite knowledge of English, then However, differential item functioning (DIF), which arises when population latent) level of health have different measured item response probabilities, may The purpose of this study was to test for DIF on the SF-36 physical in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. If this step is overlooked, the assessment may include items that unfairly position one group of home language scores over another group. An omission of home languages was the case for the New Mexico English Language Proficiency Assessment (NMELPA) (Harcourt Assessment, Inc., 2006, 2007). This study tracked gender differential item functioning (DIF) on the English subtest of the Korean College Scholastic Aptitude Test (KCSAT) over a nine-year Further, the study identified two factors (i.e. Reading strategy and perceived Differential item functioning on two tests of EFL proficiency No Access. The purpose of this study is to determine whether English test items of Undergraduate Placement Exam (UPE) in 2016 contain differential item functioning (DIF) and differential bundle functioning (DBF) in terms of gender and school type and examine the possible sources of bias of DIF items. Measurement bias is a crucial concern for test fairness. The terms differential item functioning (DIF), impact, and bias often emerge in would desire to see an impact between English-first speakers and novice English-learners. These nuisance abilities are seen as the source of invalidity (bias) that can firmatory approach to differential item functioning was used to determine whether to assess the English language skills of newcomers to Canada. The CLBA is Keywords: gender Differential Item Functioning, computation items, Mantel-Haenszel chi-square method.Introduction.Differential Item Functioning (DIF) is the result of producing different probability of answering an item correctly among examinees of equal proficiencies (Roussos & Stout, 2000), caused differences unrelated to test proficiency.
