The study aims to reveal the effect of Items order in Estimation of Persons And Items Parameters using the Five Parameter Logistic Model, using the descriptive survey methodology, the study population consisted of all secondary students in the scientific stream in Ein Albash region, which numbered approximately (1940) male and female students, and the study sample consisted of 580),(270) male and (290) female by using Intentional sample (The study instrument consisted of three experimental models, and verified the validity of the content, construction and consistency by internal consistency.

Results were obtained for matching individuals and items to the Five Parameter Logistic Model using matching indicators. Estimation of Persons And Items Parameters and standers error were estimated in the Classical Test Theory (difficulty, discrimination) and item response theory (difficulty, discrimination, guessing, Upper Asymptote and asymmetrical), and assumptions were achieved (Unidimesionality, Monotone Homogeneity, Item Characteristic Curve, test and Item Information Function).

The results in the classical theory have found differences between the mean parameters (discrimination) of the two ways order logical difficulty and random difficulty, in the favor for logical difficulty , and also found differences between the mean parameters(difficulty in the Classical Test Theory, Discrimination in Item Response Theory ) of the two ways order(Sequence of subject content, logical difficulty)on one hand and random difficulty on the other, in the favor for (Sequence of subject content and logical difficulty).

 

Key words: Items order, Estimation of Persons And Items Parameters , Five Parameter Logistic Model.
