Özet

In this research, multistage adaptive tests (MST) were compared according to sample size, panel pattern and module length for top -down and bottom -up test assembly methods. Within the scope of the research, data from PISA 2015 were used and simulation studies were conducted according to the parameters estimated from these data. Analysis results for each condition were compared in terms of mean RMSE and bias. According to the results obtained from the MST simulation based on the top -down test assembly method, mean RMSE values reduced when the module length increased and when the panel pattern changed from 1-2 to 1-2-2 and 1-2-3 for MST applied to small and large samples. Within the scope of the research, data from PISA 2015 were used and simulation studies were conducted using the parameters estimated from these data. Analysis results for each condition were compared in terms of mean RMSE and bias.
