In these surveys, the reliable detection of item bias or differential item functioning (DIF) across student groups is a key component for ensuring fair representations of different student groups. In this paper, we describe several modeling approaches that can be useful for detecting DIF in educational surveys. We illustrate the key ideas by investigating the performance of six hierarchical generalized linear models (HGLMs) using a small simulation study and by applying them to real data from the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) study where we use them to investigate potential uniform gender DIF.複雜題本設計差別試題功能多階層廣義線性模式多階段抽樣設計complex booklet designDIFHGLMsmulti-stage sampling design
