Comparison of the psychometric parameters of three and four-option tests measuring English language proficiency in the Czech military

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In the context of language testing, the use of multiple choice items has become very common, especially in their four-choice form. However, specialist literature has cast doubt on the universal correctness of the practice. Therefore the authors have decided to conduct a study comparing analytical findings from three-choice items with those of four-choice items. The main research question focuses on finding out whether there are significant differences between these two types in terms of test reliability, individual and average item difficulty, and individual and average discrimination index. The methodology of the study will be based on comparing two parallel forms of the same reading test in such a way that these two test versions will consist of thesame number of items containing both three- and four-choice items. The presently existing test, already analysed by common statistical methods, will be used for the study. To create three-choice items, the existing four-choice items will
