Application of SPSS in Theoretical Mechanics Education

Abstract:

Theoretical mechanics education played an important role in developing undergraduates’ knowledge and ability. Test is a main method to measure undergraduates’ theoretical mechanics learning outcomes. Test analysis mainly consists of score analysis and test quality. When judging the quality of a test, item difficulty, item discrimination, reliability and validity should be calculated and analyzed. The test paper of theoretical mechanics was analyzed by SPSS for Windows. The statistic results demonstrated that students have good learning outcomes and the test paper has good quality.
