Abstract.

This study is aimed at analyzing the 50-item multiple choice test in engineering economy and subjecting it to test item analysis using the Table of Specifications. The substance of this research paper is derived from Bloom’s taxonomy of learning, which includes Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, respectively. The analysis of the 50-item test was centered on the TOS specifically: (1) the list of course objectives; (2) the topics covered in class; (3) the amount of time spent on those topics; (4) textbook chapter topics; and (5) the emphasis and space, respectively. The statistical tools used in this study are: metrics of central tendency that include the average and standard deviation of students’ scores after the final examination are subjected to graphical analysis of scores and hypothesis testing to determine if a significant difference exists between the academic performance in the final examination and the final grade of students. The hypothesis testing was done at a 5% level of significance relative to the numerical coefficient for degree of freedom. This study methodically employed a review of related studies and literature to categorize, describe, analyze, and interpret the borrowed materials from different authors both in the local and international domains, respectively. The end goal of this study was to develop a relevant and effective mechanism for a digital LMS intended for testing banking systems and metrics for the grading system. The study further employed CDAI (Categorizing. Describing, Analyzing, and Interpreting), a method that was originally developed by Johnny Saldana (2019). This study was conducted on Quezon City University’s main campus during the school year 2023-2024.
