Professional and technical examination for registered nurse of universities and colleges with nursing students in special technology—study on scale of the linear transformation

摘要

Professional and Technical Examination for Registered Nurse over the years average pass rate exist large differences, The possible reasons may be affected by difficulty of item, This led to the adoption threshold varies annually, Unified set the passing score of 60 points for Registered Nursing subjects of Professional and Technical Examination. This situation has caused the subjects of fairness concerns. Therefore standardized set by the method to maintain the stability of the threshold of every subject is very necessary. Apply non-equivalent groups with anchor test design, to proceed the linking of horizontal equating with common items, Follows the equation of Mean/Mean ruler to compute the scale of the linear transformation from the two type assessment test papers. Discuss the parameters of items, parameters of linear transformation about two type assessment test papers. Estimate the above relation parameters and the results of horizontal equating. Finally, Use the method of Yes/No Angoff to construct the standardized set of threshold for registered nurse of entrance exam. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reference data about the threshold criteria and give a reliable threshold of Professional and Technical Examination for Registered Nurse.
