Research Abstract

This research reports on the development of item banking of Japanese language tests. The report begins with a brief introduction to the current situation of item development and test administration of Japanese colleges and universities. The main part of the research describes the necessities of item banking and introduces classical test theory and item response theory for the item analysis. An item bank is a collection of test items administered and analyzed for use with an intended population. The bank also contains information about the items and links them to a common difficulty scales using latent trait measurement procedures. Item banks are commonly used (1) for the construction of equivalent or alternate forms of frequently administered standardized tests; and (2) as the basis for computer adaptive tests. The requirements for an item bank are an adequate pool of test items, an inventory of the abilities and content which each item purports to measure, and statistical data indicating the characteristics of each item as evidenced in test trialling, and a theory of ability which enables the meaning of scores on any test which may be constructed from the banked items to be interpreted.
