Modeling Local Item Dependence in Cloze and Reading Comprehension Test Items Using Testlet Response Theory
In this study the magnitudes of local dependence generated by cloze test items and reading comprehension items were compared and their impact on parameter estimates and test precision was investigated. An advanced English as a foreign language reading comprehension test containing three reading passages and a cloze test was analyzed with a two-parameter logistic testlet response model and a two-parameter logistic item response model. Results showed that the cloze test [...]
