Abstract

The Item Response Theory (IRT) model contains one or more parameters in the model. These parameters are unknown, so it is necessary to predict them. This paper aims (1) to determine the sample size (N) on the stability of the item parameter (2) to determine the length (n) test on the stability of the estimate parameter examinee (3) to determine the effect of the model on the stability of the item and the parameter to examine (4) to find out Effect of sample size and test length on item stability and examinee parameter estimates (5) Effect of sample size, test length, and model on item stability and examinee parameter estimates. This paper is a simulation study in which the latent trait (q) sample simulation is derived from a standard normal population of ~ N (0.1), with a specific Sample Size (N) and test length (n) with the 1PL, 2PL and 3PL models using Wingen. Item analysis was carried out using the classical theory test approach and modern test theory. Item Response Theory and data were analyzed through software R with the ltm package. The results showed that the larger the sample size (N), the more stable the estimated parameter. For the length test, which is the greater the test length (n), the more stable the estimated parameter (q).
