parameter estimates. This also showed that the p-values of CTT and b-values of IRT were comparable and also the a-values of CTT were comparable with the a-values of IRT. It can then be concluded that both the item parameter estimates of CTT and IRT could be used independently to estimate the test items parameters,which revealed that the parameter estimates of the two measurement frameworks were comparable. These findings seemed to be consistent with the previous studies (e.g Fan (1998)) who indicated that CTT testitems parameter estimates were comparable to IRT (3PLM) test items parameter estimates. Other studies, like Stage (1999) and MacDonald and Paunonen (2002), also indicated that CTT and IRT measurement theories often produce quite similar results in computing for test items parameter estimates. It can be concluded from this study that CTT test items parameter estimates are quite similar and comparable to IRT (3PLM) test items parameter estimates. There is a further need to investigate or assess the comparability of CTT with IRT(1PLM) and IRT (2PLM) in estimating test items parameters.
