Abstract: Multiple matrices sampling (MMS) technique is an approach that can be used in educational research, test measurement and evaluation. The effectiveness of MMS can be tested by sampling items and examinees. Multiple-choice items were developed in the subject area of Christian Religious Studies, using multiple matrices sampling technique. Five research questions guided the study, and two null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.5 alpha level. An instrumentation research design was used. A sample of 200 Upper Basic III students drawn from one of the public secondary schools in Enugu Education Zone formed the subjects for the study for the final administration of the instrument. A total of 160 Christian Religious Studies multiple-choice items (CRSMCI) were developed, validated and matrixed into four sets through genuine multiple matrix sampling technique for the initial administration (trial testing) to ascertain the reliability of the instrument. Kuder-Richardson 20 (KR-20) was used to establish the reliability of the four sets of CRSMCI at 0.66, 0.67, 0.75, and 0.71 respectively. Item analysis of the four sets were carried out to establish the item difficulty, discrimination and distracter indices. One hundred and four (104) items survived the item analysis. The 104 items were matrixed into four sets of 276 items, using partial multiple matrix sampling technique. The final administration of the test was done. Content validation was done using the Chi-square test of the Goodness-of-fit at an alpha level of 0.05. The data generated from the study were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The result of the study showed that; the items that formed the CRS multiple-choice item packages did not deviate from the specifications of the test blueprint, there was an appreciable level of internal consistency of 0.93, 0.88, 0.84, 0.97 for the four sets of CRSMCI, and the validity coefficient of 0.98. There was a positive correlation among the sets of CRSMCI at 0.98, 0.94, 0.97, 0.97, and the mean performance of examinees who were tested with the sets of CRSMCI were relatively equal. The implications of the findings showed that, the use of multiple matrices sampling technique improved broad content coverage of curriculum and reduced the testing time given to examinees. The study recommended among others that, test blueprint should be used by CRS teachers and test developers to write CRS multiple-choice items before adopting it as an instrument. Also, multiple matrices sampling technique should be used by schools, CRS teachers and test developers to enhance content coverage and reduce testing time yet maintaining standard.
