This study investigated the extent of agreement between MicroPROUST, a prototype microcomputer-based expert scoring system, and human readers for two Advanced Placement Computer Science free-response items. To assess agreement, a balanced incomplete block design was used with 2 groups of 4 readers grading 43 student solutions to the first problem…

The relationship of an expert-system-scored constrained free-response item type to multiple-choice and free-response items was studied using data for 614 students on the College Board's Advanced Placement Computer Science (APCS) Examination. Implications for testing and the APCS test are discussed. (SLD)

Braun, Henry I.; And Others – 1989
The use of constructed response items in large scale standardized testing has been hampered by the costs and difficulties associated with obtaining reliable scores. The advent of expert systems may signal the eventual removal of this impediment. This study investigated the accuracy with which expert systems could score a new, non-multiple choice…

Peer reviewedBraun, Henry I.; And Others – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1990
The accuracy with which expert systems (ESs) score a new nonmultiple-choice free-response test item was investigated, using 734 high school students who were administered an advanced-placement computer science examination. ESs produced scores for 82 percent to 95 percent of the responses and displayed high agreement with a human reader on the…
