Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recently performance assessments are adopted as methods of evaluating complex-achievement such as higher-order thinking, problem solving and so on. But this type of methods relies on raters’ subjective judgement so that its reliability is not so high. This study tried to refer to the scales based on IRT in interpreting junior-high school students’ performance of science.
In practice, students answered objective test about science and a performance task about a unit of this subject which is called as “electric power”. Using the data, the items of objective test was carried out equating to position the first grade and second grade items on the common scale by a concurrent calibration method. And analyzing the results of the performance task with IRT scale scores, there was a tendency to increase the number of points of view of interest as the level of academic achievement increases.
