Abstract

The item hierarchy is essential for the categorization of the items into the level of difficulty. The development of a framework is very important for an educational programme. Many a time, the constructs are very broad and are not classified into their level of difficulties. This makes classification arbitrary and haphazard. Recent studies have indicated that the entrepreneurship skills framework for fostering the employability of Electrical Technology students in Colleges of Education in Nigeria is classified into electrical-specific skills and electrical mindset skills. The purpose of the study is to classify the variables into their levels of difficulty. Consequently, the Rasch Model Measurement was used to generate and classify the constructs from the framework into the four levels of item difficulty. The four-point scale of most important, moderately important, less important, and lowest important. The fit statistics of the eigenvalue and variable map are of great use. The difficult items are located at the upper region of the scale above the mean, while the less difficult or easy items are categorized at the bottom of the scale. The moderate item to endorse is located in the middle around the mean. This is essential for item categorization and ensuring that instruction flows from the less difficult to the most difficult.
