Mimi Ismail; Ahmed Al - Badri; Said Al - Senaidi – Journal of Education and e-Learning Research, 2025
This study aimed to reveal the differences in individuals' abilities, their standard errors, and the psychometric properties of the test according to the two methods of applying the test (electronic and paper). The descriptive approach was used to achieve the study's objectives. The study sample consisted of 74 male and female students at the…

Ghio, Fernanda Belén; Bruzzone, Manuel; Rojas-Torres, Luis; Cupani, Marcos – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
In the last decades, the development of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) has allowed more precise measurements with a smaller number of items. In this study, we develop an item bank (IB) to generate the adaptive algorithm and simulate the functioning of CAT to assess the domains of mathematical knowledge in Argentinian university students…

Huang, Heng-Tsung Danny; Hung, Shao-Ting Alan; Chao, Hsiu-Yi; Chen, Jyun-Hong; Lin, Tsui-Peng; Shih, Ching-Lin – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2022
Prompted by Taiwanese university students' increasing demand for English proficiency assessment, the absence of a test designed specifically for this demographic subgroup, and the lack of a localized and freely-accessible proficiency measure, this project set out to develop and validate a computerized adaptive English proficiency testing (E-CAT)…

Sahin, Murat Dogan; Gelbal, Selahattin – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2020
The purpose of this study was to conduct a real-time multidimensional computerized adaptive test (MCAT) using data from a previous paper-pencil test (PPT) regarding the grammar and vocabulary dimensions of an end-of-term proficiency exam conducted on students in a preparatory class at a university. An item pool was established through four…

Yasuda, Jun-ichiro; Mae, Naohiro; Hull, Michael M.; Taniguchi, Masa-aki – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
As a method to shorten the test time of the Force Concept Inventory (FCI), we suggest the use of computerized adaptive testing (CAT). CAT is the process of administering a test on a computer, with items (i.e., questions) selected based upon the responses of the examinee to prior items. In so doing, the test length can be significantly shortened.…

He, Tung-hsien – SAGE Open, 2019
This study employed a mixed-design approach and the Many-Facet Rasch Measurement (MFRM) framework to investigate whether rater bias occurred between the onscreen scoring (OSS) mode and the paper-based scoring (PBS) mode. Nine human raters analytically marked scanned scripts and paper scripts using a six-category (i.e., six-criterion) rating…

Lee, Senyung; Shin, Sun-Young – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2021
Multiple test tasks are available for assessing L2 collocation knowledge. However, few studies have investigated the characteristics of a variety of recognition and recall tasks of collocation simultaneously, and most research on L2 collocations has focused on verb-noun and adjective-noun collocations. This study investigates (1) the relative…

Behmke, Derek A.; Atwood, Charles H. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2013
To a first approximation, human memory is divided into two parts, short-term and long-term. Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) attempts to minimize the short-term memory load while maximizing the memory available for transferring knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. According to CLT there are three types of load, intrinsic, extraneous, and…

Claesgens, Jennifer; Scalise, Kathleen; Wilson, Mark; Stacy, Angelica – Science Education, 2009
Preliminary pilot studies and a field study show how a generalizable conceptual framework calibrated with item response modeling can be used to describe the development of student conceptual understanding in chemistry. ChemQuery is an assessment system that uses a framework of the key ideas in the discipline, called the Perspectives of Chemists,…

Boyer, Kristy Elizabeth, Ed.; Yudelson, Michael, Ed. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
The 11th International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2018) is held under the auspices of the International Educational Data Mining Society at the Templeton Landing in Buffalo, New York. This year's EDM conference was highly competitive, with 145 long and short paper submissions. Of these, 23 were accepted as full papers and 37…

Hol, A. Michiel; Vorst, Harrie C. M.; Mellenbergh, Gideon J. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2007
In a randomized experiment (n = 515), a computerized and a computerized adaptive test (CAT) are compared. The item pool consists of 24 polytomous motivation items. Although items are carefully selected, calibration data show that Samejima's graded response model did not fit the data optimally. A simulation study is done to assess possible…

Verguts, Tom; De Boeck, Paul – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2000
Developed an extension of the Rasch model from a Bayesian point of view and used the model to study whether learning occurred throughout a computer-administered intelligence test. Results from 137 college students indicate that learning did occur and that there might be individual differences in learning rate. (SLD)

Halkitis, Perry N. – Journal of Outcome Measurement, 1998
The precision of a computerized adaptive test (CAT) with a limited item pool was measured using test results from 4,494 nursing students. Regardless of the item pool size, CAT provides greater precision in measurement with a smaller number of items administered even when the choice of items is limited, but CAT fails to achieve equiprecision along…

Scherbaum, Charles A.; Cohen-Charash, Yochi; Kern, Michael J. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
General self-efficacy (GSE), individuals' belief in their ability to perform well in a variety of situations, has been the subject of increasing research attention. However, the psychometric properties (e.g., reliability, validity) associated with the scores on GSE measures have been criticized, which has hindered efforts to further establish the…

Koch, William R.; And Others – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 1990
Implemented computerized adaptive testing (CAT) to measure students' attitudes toward alcohol. Administered a paper-and-pencil version and a CAT version of an attitudes toward alcohol scale to 113 undergraduates enrolled in health education classes. Findings showed a high correlation between scores from the CAT and the paper-and-pencil versions.…
