ملخص المقالة :
این پژوهش، کاربرد گزینه هیچ کدام از موارد بالا را به عنوان یکی از گزینه های سؤالات چندگزینه ای بررسی کرده است. هدف پژوهش، برآورد تناسب، ضریب دشواری، ضریب تمییز و عامل حدس در سؤالاتی با این گزینه و تخمین پایایی کل آزمون بوده است. محققان این طرح، پنج متن از آزمون کلیدی انگلیسی سال 2010 موسوم به کت را انتخاب و سؤالات آن را در دو شکل موازی بازسازی کردند. آزمون اول، گزینه هیچ کدام از موارد بالا را نداشت؛ اما، آزمون دوم که دو هفته بعد برگزار شد، شامل این گزینه بود. هر دو آزمون، مشتمل بر سی و دو سؤال بود و بر روی صد و چهل و دو دانش آموز سوم دبیرستان اجرا شد. نتایج آزمون ها - که با روش سه پارامتری نظریه پرسش- پاسخ (آی آر تی) بررسی شدند – نشان داد که سؤالات دارای هیچ کدام از موارد بالاآسان تر بودند. این گزینه به تناسب و ضریب تمییز سؤالات آسیب نزد. امّا عامل حدس را افزایش داد. این، به نوبه خود می تواند پایایی و روایی آزمون را کاهش دهد.
