ABSTRACT011

Developing, field testing and calibrating a measure of

word analysis skill was the central concern of the present study.

Using the logistic Rasch model for mental tests, the investi-

gators calibrated a carefully developed 431-item diagnostic

inventory of word analysis skill field tested on 78 students

ages 6 to 19. The analysis indicated a well-defined word analysis

variable, consisting of 247 items across 13 objective-referenced

subscales, and three contant subgroups labelled "Consonants."

"Vowels," and "Word Structure." Parallel forms .A and B, each

containing 137 items, were calibrated and constitute the, Emory

Word Analysis Skill Inventory (EWASI), Forms A and B.

STATEMENT 9F THE PROBLEM

For several years, students and faculty alike, in the Read -

frig Program of the Division,

of Educational Studies, Emory Univer-

sity, have been involved in the development of an Inventory of

Word Analysis Skill. The inventorwould provide a useful.diag-

nostic instrument for teachers who have neither time nor exper4

tise to construct their own test. The Inventory should aid themr

in analyzing student performance in t\erms of specific objectives

of knowledge, understanding, and skin of word analysis task's.

initial steps in building a useful test to suit the purp6ses of

the Emory Reading Center have taken place. These strips include

(1) the decision to build a measure which would ai'sess the mastery

of skills and knowledge of students who are ildstructed in the

Center, (2) an analysis of the curricula :of surrounding school

systems, (3) the formation of broad behavioral objectives for

the students in the Center, '(4) the writing of a number of items

by graduate students, and (5) the sequencing of the items.accor-

ding to experts in the field of content, i.e. 14 teachers of

reading in the Metropolitan Atlanta area and two professors of

Reading at Emcky University.I

Since word analysis skill is a complex variable delineating

a wide range 4if characteristic trais, the Inventory sampled numer-

ous items acrlass the range of possible content skills. A central' i

problem of the present research was to define the "word analysis

skill" variable by mapping its structure. Subsequent to solving

the measurement problem, the Emory Word Analysis Skill Inventory

would have!great clinical importance in diagnosing individual

reading problems.

/IDeveloping, field testing, calibrating and implyenting the

Inventory suggest far reaching importance to both thf Emory Univer-

sity Reading Center and to any instructional progra4 interested

in measuring and diagnosing word analysis skill.

THEORETICAL CONCERNS

In order to develop a test that measures a variable, like

word analysis skill, care must be taken to assure' that all reason-;

able traits along the variable are measured, and that the measure-.

ment instrument is sufficiently wide to measure the population

for which it was calibrated. For example, if one were interested

in measuring a football field, a bent twig would hardly be the

appropriate measurement instrument! In terms of word analysis

skill, the central task was to define the domain or universe of

traits delineating the variable and to test their validity or

"fit" to the family of word analysis skill items. Until such

items are calibrated, a valid person measurement would be impos-

sible. The word analysis skill variable graphically would look

somethinglike this:

easy xitems

t

hard

d'r 4 dtitems

3 4 5

Some items (di) are easier and some are harder-because the,0

complexity of skill required by some items are more difficult than

others. Consider the difference between two likely candidates:

1)"cat"; 2)"anatomical." In turn, it is commonly held that people

also vary in their ability or "mastery" of word analysis skill.

This domain could be illustrated by:

Some people (bn) are low in word analysis skill and some are

high. John has trouble with "thin" while Mary can read "philanthro-

pist." In essence, both word analysis skill items and person

ability or mastery of word analySis skill have their own distri-

bution in abstraction. There does, however, appear to be an

ordering, or "latent structure" to these abstract variables. The

concern in calibrating items and measuring persons'is to repre-

sent the relationship of items and persons and to map the dynamics

a the marriage:

When June (b1) is asked to read "cat" (d1), she should get it

a probability of success which exceeds 50%. However, June would

be very vnikely to read "anatomical" or even "earthquake," since

fi

she is less able than the items require. In this case, her prob-

able success is less than 50%. The "critical point," the point

at which a person's ability or \trord analysis skill equals the item

difficulty {when bn=di) would indicate a 50% chance of success onO

the item. An example of this, can be seen with Jill (b3) responding

to "earthquake." In this case, Jill is just as likely as not 1

to read "earthquake" correctly, since the item is centered on her\

word analysis skill. Notice the independence of the interpretation.

Once representative persons (i.e. those who have characteristics

typical of the population beibg measured) are given representative

items of the variable oeing investigated, such persons and items

can be removed from further considerations of the test and "norm

group." This principle of sample free measurement and test free

item calibration is the essence of Rasch measurement models as

described by Wright (1977) and Wright and Stone (1979). The present

paper illustrates a fascinating application of the Rasch model

for mental tests.

PROCEDURE,. RESULTS

Development

In order to define the domain or universe of items that de--.

lineate the word analysis skill variable, objectives were written

for each of 22 general areas or subscales. in Appendix A, the

original Inventory is piesented with corresponding objectives for

each subscale. The objectives, which focus'on content and hierar-

chical levels of diffi ty, were identified by reading teachers,

University professors, and graduate students. Also, other well

known inventories and authorities in the field were consulted

(Triggs, 1979; Rosewell & Chall, 1978; Miller, 1974; Potter &

Rae, 1973). In addition, content validity was affirmed by the

Director, the Coordinator of Services, and the Test Administrator

of the Emory University Reading Center.',, The test was designed

so that a minimum of five items measured each objective (Noll,

Scannell, & Craig, 1979).

Field Testing

Seventy-eight students enrolled in the Emory University

Reading Center were given the original form of the Inventory. The,

sample represented all students enrolled in the clinical regling

program during the past year (December, 1978 to December, 1979).

The demographic breakdown for grade and age is given below. There

were 57 boys and 21 girls.

The students were enrolled in an individualized tutorial reading

program initiated by parents. The subjects were referred to the

program because of various reading disabilities, i.e. they had

serious discrepancies between their reading ability and their

reading achievement. No control over demographic characteristics

was therefore possible. The children were, however, represents-

, tive of the clientele served by the clinical reading program over

the course of 'one year.

The test was individually administered by teachers who had

been given special instructions for the administration of the

Inventory, such as: 1) record the child's &ncorrect response

noting the nature of the mistake; 2). do not correct or show

obvious approval of- the child's responses; .10 provide ddequate

time for the test administratjon- do not speed responses. Each

item was scored dichotomously (right =l, wrong=0) and a summative

raw score Vts tabulated for the entire 431-item original Inventory.

Item Calibration and Measurement of Persons

Analyzing a test with the length (431 items) and structure

(22 subscales) of the Emory Word Analysis Skill Inventory was a

formidable task. The foundation, of the task was the Rasch model,

for mental tests where the categories of responses are dichoto-

mous: 1 0

where: Xni is response X' (0 or 1). of person n on item i, Bni is

the person ability (estimated by bn) of person n on item i,

and di is the item difficulty (estimated by di) of item i.

The Rasch model is logistic in nature and is calculated hi

estimating the ratio of the probability of a right answer (numera-

tor of the equation) to the probability of a wrong answer (the

The initial procedure of the analysis was to examine the 22

original subscales individually. 'Since the BICAL program automati-

cally edits misfitting persons (those with Fit T's: -2.0>Ta2.0),

only bad items (those with Fit T's: -2.0)T)2.0) needed to be de-

leted for subsequent investigation. In most cases, at least 80

per cent of the subscale items fit their content (objective-

referenced) definition; however, the first seven subscales (Upper

Case Letters to Short Vowel Sounds) were far too easy for any

accurate definition. along the word analysis skill variable. -Also,

subscale -igh Patterns contained only five items and was also too

easy. Hence, eight complete subscales were deleted. It also

appeared that subscales "L and N Patterns" and\"C and G Patterns"

A second round of analysis was conducted on the three subgroups

using only those items which fit their respective subscales (N=299).

Only 24 items (about 8%) misfit their respective subgroups. The

structure of the Inventory appeared well-defined with 275 items in

three. subgroups and 13 subscales. In addition, Table 1 illustrates

that the subscales, subgroups and complete Inventory measure wide

ranges of word analysis skill. Precision of estimation (reliability)

appeared strong, as is evidenced by small standard errors of esti-

mation of item difficlilties.

Collecting the 275 items which demonstrated validity (fit)

to their respective subscales and subgroups, the analysis focused

on the complete Inventory. The results of this analysis provided

the necessary information to calibrate final forms of the Inven-

tory. Table 2 presents a summary of the relevant information

used to revise the Inventory. In the panel labelled "Fit Order,'

column labelled "T-Tests Total;' the fit statistics are presented

for each item. Also, Appendix B summarizes the results of this

analysis, indicating the items along with their final status in

the analysis. Note that the "ITEM NAME" column in Table 2

corresponds to the "ITEM NAME" column in Appendix B (i.e. V001

denotes "shard"). Of the 275 items analyzed, only 28 (about 10%)

misfit (-2.(DT)2.0) the word analysis-skill-vartable; ss-measured

by the complete Emory Word Analysis Skill Inventory. Thus, the

247 fitting items from the computer analysis presented in Table 2

define the word analysis skill variable:

one item from each distinct levei of item difficulty frOm each

subscale. The number of such distinct levels of item difficulty

defih ,the width of each subscale along the word analysis skill

variable. In all, 137 items remained calibrated on the Inventory.

The properties of these items (i.e. fit, difficulty, and standard

error) remained stable, since all items were selected from the

previous analysis of fitting items (see Table 2). In addition,

Page 14: DOCUMENT RESUME TM BOO 611 - ERIC · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 193 296 TM BOO 611 AUTHOR Avant, Glen R.: O'Brien, Michael L. TITLE Developing, Field Testing and Calibrating a Word. Analysis

each subscale was reanalyzed with their respective items fitting

the entire Inventory. In each case, all items fit their respective

subscales. Thus, both subscales and the total Inventory are

additive measures (as well as subgroups, though- they were not

specifically defined for that purpose).

As a final check on the validity of the Inventory, the 137

items in Form A were reanalyzed to insure their fit. From Table

3, it is seen that 134 its clearly fit (987) the test. Since

this result was within reasonable statistical boundaries with

respect to a valid scale, the 137 items were calibrated for

future use.

Psychometric Properties

From Table 1 (see Table 1 above), it is seen that the width

of the Complete Inventory is 8.12 logits with mean 0.07 and

standard deviation 1.66. The width of the Emory Word Analysis

Skill Inventory is indicative of an optimal survey measure (Wright

& Stone, 1979). The Inventory is also highly precise, as evidenced

by the small standard error (0.11) of item calibration. Further

support for the reliability of the Inventory was a person separa-

bility index (equivalent to KR -20) of 0.97. The subgroups showed

similar positive qualities- about 5.5 logits wide and small standard

errors (0.20) of calibration. While the subscales were rather

narrow (about 3 logits wide), this appeared logical since they were

based on objectiveswitharelatively narrow range of difficulty.

-12-

The subscales were also highly precise, with small standard errors

(0.25) of calibration. Validity is evident throughout the struc-

ture of the Inventory, as evidenced by the fit. statistics for

both items and persons (see Table 2 and Appendix B).

Mapping the Emory Word Analysis Skill Inventory

Appendices C and D present parallel forms A and B of the

Emory Word Analysis Skill Inventory (EWASI) along with instructions

for administration. 'Keeping in mind that all items, subscales,

and subgroups were calibrated on the same logit scale, any given

raw score/tkplies performance on specific test items and groups

of items. For example, if Mary gets a total score of 127, she

had at least a 50 per cent chance of answering correctly any

item on any subscale (or subgroup) that falls to the left of the

vertical line that could be drawn down the page at total raw

score= 127, indicated on the bottom line labelled "Raw ,Score."

Looking at the EWASI Form A in Appendix C, this would mean that

Mary with a total raw score of 127 had better than a 50 per cent

chance of answering correctly all items to the left of "quagmire

and probably missed all items to the right of "quagmire." This

is Mary's most valid response pattern, and under these circumstances,

the test administrator would feel confident about the validity of

the measurement of Mary's word analysis skill. If, however, Mary

answered correctly the five items above her ability, clinical

investigation would be indicated. For example, if Mary answered

four of the five items above her ability correctly (i.e. she got

four of the hardest words correct), but missed all four items in

"Compound Words" (Subscale 9), this pattern would suggest a serious

1 L7fJ

-13-

deficiency in compound words mastery. The test administrator in

this case should verify the deficiency by asking Mary these items

a second time to assure she was attentive and does indeed have

such a deficiency in reading compound words. This investigation

of a response validity is unique to the Rasch model and demonstrates

an empirical indicator of process peculiarities., Diagnosis, which

had been strictly evaluation and acsesvment concerns, is now pos-

sible using the logistic Rasch model for sample free measurement

and test free item calibration.

Another aspect of the map which is somewhat useful is the

"Grade Score" approximation along the bottom' line of Appendix C.

While grade norms are constantly changing as instructional techniques,

curricula, and similar variables are redesigned, the present grade

norms adequately represent the typical population of the Reading

Center (at least for now). Looking at the "Grade Score" line

along the bottom of Appendix C, it is seen that Mary's score of

127 (using the previous example) would suggest that she is similar

in word analysis skill to an eleventh grade student.

Consistent with theories of development, it appeared that

progression in school (and age) resulted in'higher word analysis

skill and that the most rapid change occurred between birth and

fourth grade (total raw score. from 0 to about 98). Recalling the

principle of person ability centering on item difficulty results

in 50 per cent chance of success, consider the following examples

of "50-50" items for students at various grade levels.

In each case, the item difficulty matches the mean word analysis

skill for students at each grade level, providing a diagnosis of

the position of typical students along the word analysis skill

variable. The ordering of both students and items seem logical,

indicating strong evidence of a valid measurement for students

across eleven grade levels!

Although the EWASI appeared too easy in general, the width of

the test compensated for much of this deficiency. However, pre-

cision would be improved by further item development to broaden

the width of easy subscales.

CONCLUSION

Attempting to develop, field test, and calibrate a test across

a wide range of ability (grades 2-12) is plagued by substantive and

empirical ambiguities. The investigators of the present study

completed such a task relatively unscathed. The Emory Word

Analysis Skill Inventory (EWASI), originally containing 431 items

in 22 subscales, was revised to Parallel Forms A and B (see Appen-

dices C and D), each containing 137 items in 13 subscales and

three subgroups labelled "Consonants," "Vowels'," and "Word Struc-

ture." Each form is identical in item difficulty, width, and precision.

Approximate grade norms were also calculated for the clinical

population which responded to the test (N=78).

The Word Analysis Skill Variable was well-defined by the

present Inventory and item ,..alibrations were quite precise. Future

research should, however, concentrate on writing harder items

consistent with some of the easier subscales, and easier items

for the Multisyllable Subgroup (Subgroup 13). Also, if "accurate"

age/grade norms are absolutely necessary, the test should be given

to a large number of students at various grade levels.

The analysis was facilitated by the Rasch model for mental tests,

a logistic measurement model fog sample free measurement and test

free item calibration. The Rasch model was valuable in defining

the word analysis skill variable and its family of additive sub-

scales.

Of particular importance is the diagnostic value of the Emory

Word Analysis Skill Inventory. Only through careful test develop-

ment and appropriate field testing and calibration techniques has

the EWASI achieved a diagnostic capacity to consider the process

(i.e. validity, clinical abnormalities, etc.) of the individual's

responses. Future efforts in..test development must be sensitive to

individuals and their response abnormalities if measurements are to have

validity on an individual level. This is of particular concern to

duals who require individualized diagnosis and instruction.

After the test has been administered, each pattern of responses should

be analyzed for their diagnosis of mastery and/or clinical implications

for instruction. Since each question on each subscale increases in

difficulty, the child's responses should reflect this trend. Also,

remember that as one moves vertically along the page from left to

right, difficulty increases along the same line- indicated on the

bottom line of the test map labelled "Grade Score/ Raw Score." It

should be possible to pinpoint the child's word analysis skill by

circling the total raw score and drawing a vertical line down the.map

. which crosses the corresponding total score.

After the test has been administered, each pattern of responses should

be analyzed for their diagnosis of mastery and/or clinical implications

for instruction. Since each question on each subscale increases in

difficulty, the child's responses should reflect this rend. Also,

remember that as one moves vertically along the page from left to

right, difficulty increases along the sane line- indicated on the

bottom line of the test map labelled "Grade Score/ Raw Score." It

should be possible to pinpoint the child's word analysis skill

by circling the total raw score and drawing a vertical line down

the map which crosses the corresponding total score.
