This research aims to analyze the trends in item analysis research with a focus on the background, parameters used, and the utilization of assisting applications. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative, using a literature review approach involving data collection through documentation methods from Arabic language item analysis studies conducted in the last five years. Data analysis was conducted through qualitative analysis, examining each study and making small notes that were subsequently summarized. The research findings indicate that the background of item analysis research in Arabic language in Indonesia includes the absence of item analysis in schools, the presence of items that are either too easy or too difficult for students, and the desire to improve the quality of items. Commonly used parameters in item analysis include difficulty level and discrimination power, while distractor effectiveness is only used in a small number of studies. Furthermore, the research also shows that commonly used applications include Microsoft Excel, SPSS, and Anates. Therefore, future item analysis research is recommended to focus on the use of more advanced analysis methods and parameter measurements, as well as to utilize a wider range of applications.
