The objective of this study was to develop Physics critical thinking skill test using computerized adaptive test (CAT) based on item response theory (IRT). This research was a development research using 4-D (define, design, develop, and disseminate). The content validity of the items was proven using Aiken's V. The test trial involved 252 students…

We investigated students' metacognitive experiences with regard to feelings of difficulty (FD), feelings of satisfaction (FS), and estimate of effort (EE), employing either computerized adaptive testing (CAT) or computerized fixed item testing (FIT). In an experimental approach, 174 students in grades 10 to 13 were tested either with a CAT or a…

This paper presents Programming Adaptive Testing (PAT), a Web-based adaptive testing system for assessing students' programming knowledge. PAT was used in two high school programming classes by 73 students. The question bank of PAT is composed of 443 questions. A question is classified in one out of three difficulty levels. In PAT, the levels of…
