education major normal university students to conduct the pre-test,and the test data of the pre-test project theory and Rasch model analysis,to judge the effectiveness and reliability of the pre-test assessment tool;Based on project difficulty,project differentiation and Rasch model,some questions were revised and replaced to form a formal evaluation tool containing 36 projects.This paper uses this formal assessment tool to assess information literacy of primary education major students in a university in Changchun.The Rasch model is used to analyze the evaluation data and draw three conclusions: 1.The project difficulty of the evaluation tool is basically corresponding to the level of the subjects,and the reliability and validity are good,which can accurately measure the information literacy of primary education major normal university students;2.The evaluation tool is one-dimensional,and the test item examines the information literacy of the subjects;3.The fitting degree between the actual data and the theoretical response model of the topic in the evaluation tool is good,the overall quality of the response items is good,and the reliability of the test items is high.Finally,based on the analysis of information literacy assessment data of primary education major normal university students,it is found that the overall performance of information literacy of
