Abstract

Assessment is a crucial step in learning evaluation since it reflects the improvement of the quality of education. Thus, educators are always challenged while analyzing the performance of their students. The study aims to evaluate the quality of written exams set for under graduated students (2017-2019) in the biology department of the high school of health science and technologies. We used the item analysis tools: difficulty index, discrimination index and for the reliability the Cronbach alpha assessing available data during the study period (2017-2019). The study involved 2960 copies related to 104 tests including 1367 questions. We found that 5.3% of the questions were difficult, 44.18% were easy 49.52% with moderate difficulties, 19.38% with excellent discrimination, 10.53% with good discrimination. The test reliability was good in only 10.5% of the tests. Our research objectively analyzed the quality of questions, yet it revealed the presence of some deficiencies suggesting the improvement of the quality of assessment.
