Abstract

This study aimed at determining the quality of the English Paper 1 (EP1) items of UPSR trial examination for six graders in terms of its reliability, validity and items characteristics. It also sought to determine the difficulty levels of 40 multiple-choice items consisting five constructs of vocabulary, language and social expression, grammar, cloze-comprehension and reading comprehension. A number of 525 primary schools students were randomly selected from 3876 students in Kuala Selangor, Malaysia. Using the Rasch measurement model, the validity evidences were shown through the results of Principle Component Analysis (PCA), fit statistics and item distractor analysis. The results from PCA analysis showed the absence of second dimension in the test, which met the assumption of modern testing theory. Fit statistics analyses have identified seven misfit items that are beyond the acceptable range (0.7 - 1.3 logit). Item distractor analysis has identified five problematic items whereby three of them are also misfit items. Summary statistics shows that the reliability indices of Cronbach’s Alpha were greater than 0.80 and separation indices were greater than 2. This study would benefit teachers in improving existing assessment practice by spreading out the importance of item analysis in schools, particularly in language testing.

Abstract

E-learning practices and the competency in assessment should facilitate one's academic performance. The main purpose of this study is to explore the degree of influence of e-learning practices and competency in assessment on academic achievement of students. This study is a quantitative approach using survey method involving the process of data collection through the administration of constructed instruments. The population of the study involves student teachers from the three selected universities in Selangor and Perak. Sample selection is drawn using random sampling technique. A total of 460 student teachers are selected. The questionnaire for e-learning practices is adapted from OLES (Renee, 2011) and the competency in assessment comes from Zahari (2018). The structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis is used to test the hypothesized relationship. The results show that e-learning practices, knowledge in assessment, skills in assessing, and attitude in assessment significantly influence students' academic achievement. E-learning practices emerge as the strongest predictor of student achievement, with a significant standardized regression coefficient of 0.39. This is followed by skills in assessing (0.27), knowledge in assessment (0.09), and lastly attitude in assessment (0.08). The core findings of the study have some implications for higher education and practice, measurement and theory development, and future research.
