Instructionally Sensitive Psychometrics: Application of a New IRT-Based Detection Technique to Mathematics Achievement Test Items.

Muthen, Bengt O.; And Others

Journal of Educational Measurement, v28 n1 p1-22 Spr 1991

A procedure is presented for examining the influence of instruction on responses to test items by extending item response theory to incorporate variables illustrating different amounts of opportunity to learn. Data from the Second International Mathematics Study (grade 8 scores for about 7,000 students) illustrate the discussion. (SLD)
