Khunkrai, Naruemon; Sawangboon, Tatsirin; Ketchatturat, Jatuphum – Educational Research and Reviews, 2015
The aim of this research is to study the accurate prediction of comparing test information and evaluation result by multidimensional computerized adaptive scholastic aptitude test program used for grade 9 students under different reviewing test conditions. Grade 9 students of the Secondary Educational Service Area Office in the North-east of…

Olsen, James B. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 1990
Presents two studies applying computerized adaptive testing (CAT) in schools. Compared paper-administered, computer-administered, and CAT modes for administering school achievement and assessment tests. Then compared computerized adaptive aptitude test results with individually administered Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. Found…

Hankins, Janette A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1990
The effects of a fixed and variable entry procedure on bias and information of a Bayesian adaptive test were compared. Neither procedure produced biased ability estimates on the average. Bias at the distribution extremes, efficiency curves, item subsets generated for administration, and items required to reach termination are discussed. (TJH)

Gershon, Richard C. – 1989
Examinees (N=1,233) at the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation (JOCRF) were administered one of three test forms in which only item order differed. The study was undertaken to determine the validity of the assumption underlying item response theory (IRT) that there are fixed item parameters that can predict performance. The Rasch IRT model was…

De Ayala, R. J.; And Others – 1988
To date, the majority of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) systems for achievement and aptitude testing have been based on the dichotomous item response models. However, current research with polychotomous model-based CATs is yielding promising results. This study extends previous work on nominal response model-based CAT (NR CAT) and compares…

Reckase, Mark D. – 1977
Latent trait model calibration procedures were used on data obtained from a group testing program. The one-parameter model of Wright and Panchapakesan and the three-parameter logistic model of Wingersky, Wood, and Lord were selected for comparison. These models and their corresponding estimation procedures were compared, using actual and simulated…

Vale, C. David; Weiss, David J. – 1977
Twenty multiple-choice vocabulary items and 20 free-response vocabulary items were administered to 660 college students. The free-response items consisted of the stem words of the multiple-choice items. Testees were asked to respond to the free-response items with synonyms. A computer algorithm was developed to transform the numerous…
