Developing the Philip Carter Mental Ability test using the One Parametric Mode for university students

Abstract

Education represents a special place since ancient times in the lives of societies and individuals, as education plays an important role in preserving the heritage of society, and it is a tool that presents this heritage and develops and enriches it. Through education, the most important elements of community development and progress are prepared and it is the trained and qualified human force. Therefore, the educational process should be launched From the philosophy of society and its goals and moving towards the future, seeking to achieve its aspirations.

There is no doubt that mental abilities are one of the most important characteristics in the human personality, and psychologists have focused great efforts to study them and develop tests and measures to measure them. Among the most important characteristics of learning is the existence of a kind of good communication between researchers so that the researcher can compare his results with those of his colleagues who deal with the same problems in study and in psychology. Researchers can achieve this communication through conducting the development process, and therefore the objectives of the current research are determined in the following:

_ Developing the Flip Carter test according to the modern theory

To achieve the goals of the current research, the researcher translated the test instructions and its paragraphs from English into Arabic, and the translation was translated again from Arabic into English, then presented to a group of specialists in English and made some adjustments in the light of their observations (Then he presented the test instructions and its paragraphs to a group of experts specialized in educational and psychological sciences to ensure the availability of the appropriate characteristics of these paragraphs and their alternatives in terms of form and content. Valid when the value of (Kay square) is a function at the level of (05,0) and it corresponds to (80%) of the number of experts, and all test items were logically valid to measure what was put in order to measure it, and after that the test instructions and its paragraphs were presented to a jurisdiction in Arabic language to make sure the language is safe, and some infringement was conducted Linguistic woes in the light of their modifications, then I prepared the test items for the exploratory application which includes (test questions question booklet, a separate answer sheet, the answer key

The test was applied to an exploratory sample of (60) male and female students randomly chosen from Wasit University students. A discussion took place with the members of the sample after completing the answer to the test. The amount of (80) minutes.

Then the test was applied to a sample of (500) male and female students who were chosen in the random class method. This researcher said that the Rush model (one of the inherent traits models) as a model for analyzing the test paragraphs, and to verify the model's assumptions, as is the Bilog-m3 program and to achieve Model assumptions the researcher followed the following:

This is from a one-dimensional hypothesis. The researcher subjected the test to the global analysis using the basic elements method, so obtaining one meaningful factor for each test and adopting the factor interpretation at the minimum bounds of "gitman", which is the statistically significant factor when the latent root that can be explained is equal to or more than (1) ), And approve the saturation percentage (0.30) to accept saturation of each of the test items by the general factor. , And the second indicator is the relation of the paragraph to the overall degree of one-dimensional.

Likewise, the matching of paragraphs to the Rush model is evidence that the paragraphs measure a one-dimensional feature. This is due to the value of the square of Kai with a level of significance (0.05) and as calculated by the program, because it is a function according to the value of the square of Kai, and the deletion of paragraphs that exceeded its difficulty (- 2.5) to (+ 2.5), and accordingly excluding (6) paragraphs and verification of the validity of the tests By (descriptive honesty, functional sincerity, behavioral range selection validity), and stability of the tests by means of the contrast ratio index to estimate the stability of the test.
