Joemari Olea; Kevin Carl Santos – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Although the generalized deterministic inputs, noisy "and" gate model (G-DINA; de la Torre, 2011) is a general cognitive diagnosis model (CDM), it does not account for the heterogeneity that is rooted from the existing latent groups in the population of examinees. To address this, this study proposes the mixture G-DINA model, a CDM that…

Jihong Zhang; Jonathan Templin; Xinya Liang – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2024
Recently, Bayesian diagnostic classification modeling has been becoming popular in health psychology, education, and sociology. Typically information criteria are used for model selection when researchers want to choose the best model among alternative models. In Bayesian estimation, posterior predictive checking is a flexible Bayesian model…

David Arthur; Hua-Hua Chang – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) are the assessment tools that provide valuable formative feedback about skill mastery at both the individual and population level. Recent work has explored the performance of CDMs with small sample sizes but has focused solely on the estimates of individual profiles. The current research focuses on obtaining…

Daoxuan Fu; Chunying Qin; Zhaosheng Luo; Yujun Li; Xiaofeng Yu; Ziyu Ye – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2025
One of the central components of cognitive diagnostic assessment is the Q-matrix, which is an essential loading indicator matrix and is typically constructed by subject matter experts. Nonetheless, to a large extent, the construction of Q-matrix remains a subjective process and might lead to misspecifications. Many researchers have recognized the…

Lientje Maas; Matthew J. Madison; Matthieu J. S. Brinkhuis – Grantee Submission, 2024
Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) are psychometric models that yield probabilistic classifications of respondents according to a set of discrete latent variables. The current study examines the recently introduced one-parameter log-linear cognitive diagnosis model (1-PLCDM), which has increased interpretability compared with general DCMs due…

Madeline A. Schellman; Matthew J. Madison – Grantee Submission, 2024
Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) have grown in popularity as stakeholders increasingly desire actionable information related to students' skill competencies. Longitudinal DCMs offer a psychometric framework for providing estimates of students' proficiency status transitions over time. For both cross-sectional and longitudinal DCMs, it is…

Xiangzi Ouyang; Xiao Zhang; Qiusi Zhang; Jimmy de la Torre; Shirong Min – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
This study aims to classify subtypes of mathematics disability (MD) using a novel classification method, cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs), and examine whether domain-general skills, namely, linguistic, working memory, and spatial skills, were related to the identification of the subtypes. Participants were 454 children (246 boys; age: M ± SD =…

Youn Seon Lim – Applied Measurement in Education, 2024
Educational testing has been criticized for its disconnect from modern cognitive science and its limited role in improving instruction and student learning. Reform efforts emphasize the need for testing to provide specific diagnostic insights into students' skills and knowledge. Cognitive diagnosis (CD), an emerging paradigm in educational…

Youn Seon Lim; Catherine Bangeranye – International Journal of Testing, 2024
Feedback is a powerful instructional tool for motivating learning. But effective feedback, requires that instructors have accurate information about their students' current knowledge status and their learning progress. In modern educational measurement, two major theoretical perspectives on student ability and proficiency can be distinguished.…

Marzieh Haghayeghi; Ali Moghadamzadeh; Hamdollah Ravand; Mohamad Javadipour; Hossein Kareshki – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2025
This study aimed to address the need for a comprehensive assessment tool to evaluate the mathematical abilities of first-grade students through cognitive diagnostic assessment (CDA). The primary challenge involved in this endeavor was to delineate the specific cognitive skills and sub-skills pertinent to first-grade mathematics (FG-M) and to…

Manuel B. Garcia – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
The global shortage of skilled programmers remains a persistent challenge. High dropout rates in introductory programming courses pose a significant obstacle to graduation. Previous studies highlighted learning difficulties in programming students, but their specific weaknesses remained unclear. This gap exists due to the predominant focus on the…
