Abstract
The present study aimed at Examining the Differential Distractors Functioning of Mathematics Test in the Jordanian National Assessment of Knowledge Economy according to Jender and School’s Location. For the purposes of the study, the data provided at the National Center for Developing Human Resources Development was used. The data include responses of 1558 fifth graders to 26 multiple-choice test items that measure basic skills in mathematics each with four distractors. Using the odds ratio method, fifteen distractors were detected to have differential functioning for sex. The differential distractors functioning is less attactive for females in nine distractors and for male in six distractors, and with effect size that is large in five distractors and moderate in seven items and small in two distractors. Fitheen distractors were detected to have differential functioning for school location. The differential distrac-tors functioning is less attractive of urban schools in nine distractors, and in six distractors of rural schools, and with effect size that is small in one distractor, moderate in teen distrators, and large in four distrators.

الملخص
هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى فحص الأداء التفاضلي لمموهات فقرات اختبار الرياضيات في التقييم الوطني لاقتصاد المعرفة وفقاً لجنس الطالب وموقع المدرسة. ولأغراض الدراسة تم استخدام استجابات 1558 طالباً وطالبة في الصف الخامس على 26 فقرة اختيار من متعدد تقيس مهارات أساسية في الرياضيات ولكل منها أربعة بدائل. وباستخدام طريقة نسبة الأرجحية تم الكشف عن 15 مموهاً ذا أداء تفاضلي للجنس أي ما نسبته 19% من المموهات. وكان الأداء التفاضلي للمموهات لصالح الإناث في تسعة مموهات ولصالح الذكور في ستة مموهات وبحجم تأثير كبير في خمسة مموهات ومعتدل في سبعة مموهات وصغير في مموهين. كما تم الكشف عن 15 مموهاً ذا أداء تفاضلي لموقع المدرسة أي ما نسبته 19% من المموهات. وكان الأداء التفاضلي للمموهات لصالح طلبة مدارس المدن في تسعة مموهات ولصالح طلبة مدارس الريف في ستة مموهات وبحجم تأثير كبير في أربعة مموهات ومعتدل في عشرة مموهات وصغير في مموه واحد.
