| Research Abstract |
In this study, I analyzed the educational data set with the hierarchical structure of the sample. First, a data analysis of the test with the information of each item's opportunity-to-learn was conducted, using the model which took both the data structure and the information into account. The results suggested that the item difficulty differed according to the information in many items. Second, a data analysis on English test in elementary schools was conducted, assuming this hierarchy and the school-level variability of each item's difficulty. The results showed that the model mentioned above with predictors fitted the data better.
