| Abstract | The National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) investigates the development of competencies across the life span and develops tests for the assessment of different competence domains. In order to evaluate the quality of the competence tests, a range of analyses based on item response theory (IRT) were performed. This paper describes the data and scaling procedures for the reading competence test in grade 9 of starting cohort 3 (fifth grade). The reading competence test contained 30 and 32 items in the easy and difficult testlet, respectively. Different response formats represented different cognitive requirements and text functions. The test was administered to 4,590 students. Their responses were scaled using the partial credit model. Item fit statistics, differential item functioning, Rasch-homogeneity, the test’s dimensionality, and local item independence were evaluated to ensure the quality of the test. These analyses showed that the test exhibited an acceptable reliability and that the items fitted the model in a satisfactory way. Furthermore, test fairness could be confirmed for different subgroups. Limitations of the test were the reduced reliability for high-achieving participants as well as a large percentage of items at the end of the test that were not reached due to time limits. Further challenges related to the dimensionality analyses based on both text functions and cognitive requirements. Overall, the reading test had acceptable psychometric properties that allowed for an estimation of reliable reading competence scores. Besides the scaling results, this paper also describes the data available in the scientific use file and presents the ConQuest syntax for scaling the data (Orig.). |
