The Compatibility between the Classical Test Theory and the two Parameter Logistic models in Item Stratification of Criterion-Referenced Test in Provisions of Recitation and Tajweed

This study aimed at detecting the compatibility between the classical test theory and the two parameter logistic model in item stratification of criterion-referenced test in provisions of recitation and tajweed. To achieve the aim of the study a 4-multiple choice item criterion-referenced test about the provisions of recitation and tajweed was constructed, and applied on random-stratified of 404 students chosen from 16 quaranic centers (9 for males and 7 for females) in  the jordanian capital Amman, during the scholastic year 2011/2012. The results of the study indicated that 40 items fit the classical test theory, 39 items fit the two parameter logistic model, and 39 items fit both classical theory and two-parameter logistic model. The results also indicated that the test reliability coefficient according to the classical test theory was (0.927), while it was (0.943) according to the two-parameter logistic model. Furthermore, the criterion related validity according to the classical test theory was (0.66), while it was (0.65) according to the two-parameter logistic model.
