States are implementing statewide assessment programs that classify students into proficiency levels that reflect state-defined performance standards. In an effort to provide support for score interpretations, this study examined the consistency of classifications based on competing item response theory (IRT) models for data from a state assessment program. Classification of students into proficiency levels was compared based on a 1-parameter vs. a 3-parameter IRT model. Despite an overall high level of agreement between classifications based on the 2 models, systematic differences were observed. Under the 1-parameter model, proficiency was underestimated for low proficiency classifications but overestimated for upper proficiency classifications. This resulted in higher "Below Basic" and "Advanced" classifications under 1-parameter vs. 3-parameter IRT applications. Implications of these differences are discussed. |
