Validation of a measure of knowledge about human papillomavirus (HPV) using item response theory and classical test theory.
OBJECTIVE Public understanding of HPV is important to ensure informed participation in cervical cancer prevention programmes. While many studies have measured HPV knowledge, none has developed a validated measure for use across countries. We aimed to develop and validate such a measure. METHOD Items tapping knowledge of HPV, HPV testing and HPV vaccination were developed from previous literat...

متن کاملPsychometric Properties of the Brief Form of Professor-Students Rapport Scale-based on Classical Test Theory and Item-Response Theory
Introduction: In order to improve the quality of the teaching process, it is necessary to review the professor-student rapport. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the factor structure and item-response parameters of Professor-Students Rapport Scale-Brief (PSRS-B). Methods: In a descriptive-correlation study, 497 students from Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences were ...
متن کاملItem response theory and classical test theory: an empirical comparison
Despite theoretical differences between item response theory (IRT) and classical test theory (CTT), there is a lack of empirical knowledge about how, and to what extent, the IRTand CTT-based item and person statistics behave differently. This study empirically examined the behaviors of the item and person statistics derived from these two measurement frameworks. The study focused on two issues:...
متن کاملComparison of classical test theory and item response theory in terms of item parameters
There are two currently popular statistical frameworks for addressing measurement problems namely Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT). This study is aimed empirically to examine the similarities and differences in the parameters estimated using these two frameworks. For this purpose, firstly the model assumptions and the goodness of fit analyses were checked for IRT. The ...
