Abstract | The National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) investigates the development of competencies across the life span and develops tests for the assessment of different competence domains. In order to evaluate the quality of the competence tests a range of analyses based on item response theory (IRT) were performed. This paper describes the data and scaling procedures for the reading competence test in grade 4 of starting cohort 2 (Kindergarten). The reading competence test contained 33 items with different response formats representing different cognitive requirements and text functions. The test was administered to 6,710 students. Their responses were scaled using the partial credit model. Item fit statistics, differential item functioning, Rasch-homogeneity, the test's dimensionality, and local item independence were evaluated to ensure the quality of the test. These analyses showed that the test exhibited an acceptable reliability and that most items fitted the model in a satisfactory way. Furthermore, test fairness could be confirmed for different subgroups. Limitations of the test were the large number of items targeted toward a lower reading ability as well as the large percentage of items at the end of the test that were not reached due to time limits. There was also some evidence of multi dimensionality related to different text functions and cognitive requirements. Overall, the reading test had acceptable psychometric properties that allowed for an estimation of reliable reading competence scores. Besides the scaling results, this paper also describes the data available in the scientific use file and presents the ConQuest syntax for scaling the data (Orig.). |
