International Benchmarking with PISA 8 The international benchmarking with PISA was replicated in in 2010 in three states (Hawaii, Oregon and Delaware) in three subjects (reading, mathematics and science). The statistical linking with PISA was accomplished by embedding secure PISA items in the state assessment through a legally binding Memo of Understanding and Confidentiality Agreement between AIR and the OECD.
Common item Equating for PISA 9 About 30 items are embedded as field test items in the computer adaptive test in the state. The computer adaptive field test algorithm randomly administered the PISA items. Number items per student - If the state had F = 400 items for field testing, P = 30 PISA items, and the test length was L = 40, then the expected number of PISA items administered to each student was E( p ) = 1/F * L * P = 3. Number students per item - If the student population size was N = 10,000, then the expected sample size per PISA item was E( n ) = 1/F * L * N = 1,000. Number of items per student does not provide enough information per student to get estimates of PISA scores (i.e., distributions of PISA- plausible values). Number students per item provides enough information per item to get good state-based estimates of the PISA item parameters.
