REGION RELATED DIFFERENTIAL ITEM FUNCTIONING ON NUMERICAL REASONING TEST
Aye Aye Myint
Cherry Zin Oo
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the region related differential
item functioning (DIF) by the use of numerical reasoning test which was
adapted from the research of Aye Aye Myint (1997). To obtain the required data,
a total of 1802 students (905 students from selected eleven high schools from
Yangon city and 897 students from selected five high schools from Pathein city)
participated in this study by using the stratified random sampling technique.
Survey descriptive research method was used in this study. As a result of the
BILOG-MG 3 programme, it was found that Items 2, 5, 10, 13 and 22 show
uniform differential item functioning (DIF). So, the items may not be an
equivalent measure of the same latent variable for both groups. Among the three
categories of numerical reasoning ability, the inductive reasoning ability is the
highest for Myanmar high school students. The application in this study
provided good information not only for the differential item functioning (DIF)
analysis but also guided the direction of numerical reasoning ability test.
