Yoshioka, Sérgio R. I.; Ishitani, Lucila – Informatics in Education, 2018
Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) is now widely used. However, inserting new items into the question bank of a CAT requires a great effort that makes impractical the wide application of CAT in classroom teaching. One solution would be to use the tacit knowledge of the teachers or experts for a pre-classification and calibrate during the…

Fritts, Barbara E.; Marszalek, Jacob M. – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2010
This study compares the amount of test anxiety experienced on a computerized adaptive test (CAT) to a paper-and-pencil test (P&P), as well as the state test anxiety experienced between males and females. Ninety-four middle school CAT examinees were compared to 65 middle school P&P examinees on their responses to the State-Trait Anxiety…

Smith, Nancy J.; And Others – 1993
Results of administering a computerized adaptive version of the Grammar, Spelling, and Punctuation Test (GSP) to students in the College of Communication at the University of Texas, Austin were studied. The computerized adaptive version (CAT) was administered for the first time in June 1992 to 35 prospective students who participated in the…

Wise, Steven L. – 1997
The perspective of the examinee during the administration of a computerized adaptive test (CAT) is discussed, focusing on issues of test development. Item review is the first issue discussed. Virtually no CATs provide the opportunity for the examinee to go back and review, and possibly change, answers. There are arguments on either side of the…

Lilley, M.; Barker, T.; Britton, C. – Computers and Education, 2004
This paper presents ongoing research at the University of Hertfordshire on the use of computer-adaptive tests (CATs) in Higher Education. A software prototype based on Item Response Theory has been developed and is described here. This application was designed to estimate the level of proficiency in English for those students whose first language…

Wise, Steven L. – 1997
Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) has become increasingly common in large-scale testing programs. This paper considers relevant practical issues that are likely to be faced by the developers and managers of a CAT program. The first cluster of issues is that of item pool development and maintenance. It includes such considerations as item pool…
