A trainer notices that a particular test question has a difficulty index of 0.95. What does this indicate?

Accepted Answer

The question is very easy and almost all learners answered it correctly

Answer

A difficulty index (p-value) near 1.0 means nearly all respondents answered the item correctly, indicating a very easy question.

Question 5

Which evaluation design provides the STRONGEST evidence that training caused observed performance improvements?
