Analyzing the Results

The statistics in the Analytics tab helps you understand how well the students performed and how well the test questions performed.

Written by Christa Plumley

Akindi provides Instructors with various reports for each assessment to help the instructor understand:

1) How well the students performed

2) How well the test performed

How well the students performed

Akindi combines analytics across all versions and displays it with the question content. You can quickly understand what the question is and how students across all versions performed.

Question analysis

The 'Question analysis' tab breaks down each individual question's responses and provides a discriminatory score for each question.

The discriminatory score measures the correlation between how the students performed on the test as a whole and whether they answered that question correctly vs incorrectly.

Answer Breakdown

The 'Answer Breakdown' tab highlights the number of students that:

  • Answered the question correctly (green)

  • Answered the question incorrectly (red)

  • Answered the question partially correctly (light-red)

  • left the question blank (yellow)

Selected answer breakdown for further analysis

Selecting a bar will display a breakdown of the number of students that selected each response.

Points biserial

Akindi uses the discriminatory score/ point biserial to help you understand to provide a statistical analysis of the best performing questions. Akindi is not analyzing the question content.

Akindi uses the point-biserial correlation coefficient (rpb) to calculate a discriminatory score for each question in your assessment, and for your assessment as a whole.
