The purpose of this study was to develop criterion-referenced measurement items for improvement of the initiative problem-solving ability in PE in high school. The questionnaire test was used to measure the initiative problem-solving ability in PE of 651 male high school students. The causal structure model of the improvement process of the initiative problem-solving ability in PE was hypothesized to be a cyclic causal loop consisting of 4 major domains of intrinsic motivation, initiative action, achievement satisfaction, and self-recognition.The item and the test characteristics of 38 criterion-referenced measurement items were statistically analyzed using item response theory with 2-parameter logistic model (2PLM) . In conclusions, the criterion-referenced measurement items of the improvement of the initiative problem-solving ability in PE have uni-dimensionality and goodness-of-fit of the items, invariance of estimates of 2PLM, and reliability, validity and goodness-of-fit of the test.
