Exam blueprinting achieves valid assessment of students by defining exactly what is intended to be measured in which learning domain and defines what level of competence is required. We aimed to detect the impact of newly applied method for blueprinting that depends on total course credit hours and relate the results with item analysis reports for students' performance.
A new method for blueprint construction was created. This method utilizes course credit hours for blueprint creation. Survey analysis was conducted for two groups of students (n=80); one utilized our new method (credit hours based) for blueprinting and the other used traditional method depending on exam duration and time for individual test items.
Results of both methods were related to item analysis of students' achievements. No significant difference was found between both groups in terms related to test difficulty, discrimination, or reliability indices. Both achieved close degrees of test validity and reliability measures.
We concluded that our method using credit hours system for blueprinting could be considered easy and feasible and may eventually be utilized for blueprint construction and implementation.
考试蓝图设计通过明确在哪个学习领域要测量什么以及规定所需的能力水平，实现对学生的有效评估。我们旨在检测新应用的依赖于课程总学分的蓝图设计方法的影响，并将结果与学生成绩的项目分析报告相关联。
创建了一种新的蓝图构建方法。该方法利用课程学分来创建蓝图。对两组学生（n = 80）进行了调查分析；一组使用我们基于学分的新方法进行蓝图设计，另一组使用基于考试时长和单个测试项目时间的传统方法。
两种方法的结果都与学生成绩的项目分析相关。两组在与测试难度、区分度或信度指标相关的方面均未发现显著差异。两者都达到了相近程度的测试效度和信度指标。
我们得出结论，我们使用学分制进行蓝图设计的方法可以被认为是简便可行的，最终可能用于蓝图的构建与实施。
