중등영어 읽기능력 평가문항 난이도 예측 변인 연구

초록

This study explored the variables that affect the difficulty of English reading test items within the English Proficiency Test for middle school students. The variables in this study were hypothesized on the basis of the previous literature and the item development framework of the English Proficiency Test. Correlation analysis was conducted to arrive at variables that could predict the difficulty of test items. Six variables from the 12 hypothesized ones were found to be correlated with the proportion of correct responses to the reading questions in the English Proficiency Test. Regression analysis of the six variables showed that those six variables explained 93% of the difficult questions within the English Reading Proficiency Test.
