The Accuracy of Expert-System Diagnoses of Mathematical Problem Solutions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bennett, Randy Elliot; Sebrechts, Marc M. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1996
Four human judges agreed highly among themselves about the presence of errors committed by 60 adults solving algebra word problems, but were in less agreement about categorizing faults. An expert system agreed with judges about correctness of answers, but was in even less agreement about categorizing the faults. (SLD)

The Relationship of Expert-System Scored Constrained Free-Response Items to Multiple-Choice and Open-Ended Items.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bennett, Randy Elliot; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1990
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)

Bennett, Randy Elliot; Sebrechts, Marc M. – 1994
This study evaluated expert system diagnoses of examinees' solutions to complex constructed-response algebra word problems. Problems were presented to three samples (30 college students each), each of which had taken the Graduate Record Examinations General Test. One sample took the problems in paper-and-pencil form and the other two on computer.…
