The aim of the study is to evaluate psychometric properties of the Chinese version of Caring Factor Survey-Caring of Manager (CFS-CM), which evaluated by using with classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT). CTT analyses evaluate include internal consistence reliability, test–retest reliability and construct validity. IRT analyses were conducted to test the unidimensionality, item fit, item difficulty, the reliability, and rating scale analysis. CTT showed good psychometric properties of the CFS-CM. However, IRT revealed some problems of category level. Taking the above issue into consideration, it could be beneficial to perfect the CFS-CM in the future.

Classical Test

Over the past few decades, there has been a revolution in the approach to scale development. Called item response theory (IRT), this approach challenges the notion that scales must be long in order to be reliable, and that psychometric properties of a scale derived from one group of people cannot be applied to different groups. This chapter provides an introduction to IRT, and discusses how it can be used to develop scales and to shorten existing scales that have been developed using the more traditional approach of classical test theory. IRT also can result in scales that have interval-level properties, unlike those derived from classical test theory. Further, it allows people to be compared to one another, even though they may have completed different items, allowing for computer-adapted testing. The chapter concludes by discussing the advantages and disadvantages of IRT.

Classical Test

This study aimed to reveal: (1) the characteristics of items of Chemistry Test in National Examination by using the classical test theory and item response theory; (2) the amount of cheating which occured by using Angoff's B-index Method, Pair 1 Method, Pair 2 Method, Modified Error Similarity Analysis (MESA) Method, and G2 Method; (3) the methods that detect more cheating in the implementation of the Chemistry Test in National Examination for high schools in the year 2011/2012 in Maluku Province. The results of the analysis with the classical test theory approach show that 77.5% items have item difficulty functioning well, 55% items have discrimination yet qualified and 70% items have distractor that works well with the index reliability test of 0,772. The analysis using the item response theory approach shows that 14 (35%) items fit with the model, the maximum function information is 11,4069 at θ = -1,6, and the magnitude of the error of measurement is 2,296. The number of pairs who are suspected of cheating is as follows: 13 pairs according to Angoff's B-index Method, 212 pairs according to Pair 1 Method, 444 pairs according to Pair 2 Method, 7 pairs according to MESA Method, and 102 pairs according to G2 Method. The most widely detecting cheating in a row is a   Pair 2, Pair 1, G2, Angoff's B-index, and MESA.

This research aimes to describe the characteristic of UAS items theme 1 at the fourth grade of Primary School in Paramasan bawah village according to the item difficulties and discrimination. The sample of this research was 37 students who took the final examination year academic 2018/2019. The objects of this research were question items and the answer sheet of the final exam that obtained from 3 different schools in Paramasan Bawah village. The data analysis technique used in this research was empirical analysis helped by Bilog  and Iteman program application. This analysis used to know the characteristic of items based on the Item Response Theory and Classical Test Theory. The result of this research showed the characteristic of UAS items, according to item response theory, 30 items had a good discrimination and 33 items had a good item difficulty, while according to Classical Test Theory: 15 items had a good discrimination and 27 items had a good item difficulty.Keywords: Characteristics of items, item difficulties, discrimination
