Musa Adekunle Ayanwale; Mdutshekelwa Ndlovu – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on high-stakes testing, including the national benchmark tests in South Africa. Current linear testing formats have been criticized for their limitations, leading to a shift towards Computerized Adaptive Testing [CAT]. Assessments with CAT are more precise and take less time. Evaluation of CAT…

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…

Giada Spaccapanico Proietti; Mariagiulia Matteucci; Stefania Mignani; Bernard P. Veldkamp – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Classical automated test assembly (ATA) methods assume fixed and known coefficients for the constraints and the objective function. This hypothesis is not true for the estimates of item response theory parameters, which are crucial elements in test assembly classical models. To account for uncertainty in ATA, we propose a chance-constrained…

Jing Lu; Chun Wang; Jiwei Zhang; Xue Wang – Grantee Submission, 2023
Changepoints are abrupt variations in a sequence of data in statistical inference. In educational and psychological assessments, it is pivotal to properly differentiate examinees' aberrant behaviors from solution behavior to ensure test reliability and validity. In this paper, we propose a sequential Bayesian changepoint detection algorithm to…

Tsaousis, Ioannis; Sideridis, Georgios D.; AlGhamdi, Hannan M. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2021
This study evaluated the psychometric quality of a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) version of the general cognitive ability test (GCAT), using a simulation study protocol put forth by Han, K. T. (2018a). For the needs of the analysis, three different sets of items were generated, providing an item pool of 165 items. Before evaluating the…

Cui, Ying; Guo, Qi; Leighton, Jacqueline P.; Chu, Man-Wai – International Journal of Testing, 2020
This study explores the use of the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), a neuro-fuzzy approach, to analyze the log data of technology-based assessments to extract relevant features of student problem-solving processes, and develop and refine a set of fuzzy logic rules that could be used to interpret student performance. The log data that…

Cikrikci, Nukhet; Yalcin, Seher; Kalender, Ilker; Gul, Emrah; Ayan, Cansu; Uyumaz, Gizem; Sahin-Kursad, Merve; Kamis, Omer – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2020
This study tested the applicability of the theoretical Examination for Candidates of Driving License (ECODL) in Turkey as a computerized adaptive test (CAT). Firstly, various simulation conditions were tested for the live CAT through an item response theory-based calibrated item bank. The application of the simulated CAT was based on data from…

Teig, Nani; Scherer, Ronny; Kjaernsli, Marit – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
Previous research has demonstrated the potential of examining log-file data from computer-based assessments to understand student interactions with complex inquiry tasks. Rather than solely providing information about what has been achieved or the accuracy of student responses ("product data"), students' log files offer additional…

Burton, John Dylan – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2020
An assumption underlying speaking tests is that scores reflect the ability to produce online, non-rehearsed speech. Speech produced in testing situations may, however, be less spontaneous if extensive test preparation takes place, resulting in memorized or rehearsed responses. If raters detect these patterns, they may conceptualize speech as…

Kalender, Ilker; Berberoglu, Giray – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2017
Admission into university in Turkey is very competitive and features a number of practical problems regarding not only the test administration process itself, but also concerning the psychometric properties of test scores. Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is seen as a possible alternative approach to solve these problems. In the first phase of…

Song, Yanjie; Kong, Siu-Cheung – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2017
The study aims at investigating university students' acceptance of a statistics learning platform to support the learning of statistics in a blended learning context. Three kinds of digital resources, which are simulations, online videos, and online quizzes, were provided on the platform. Premised on the technology acceptance model, we adopted a…

Ishii, Takatoshi; Songmuang, Pokpong; Ueno, Maomi – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2014
Educational assessments occasionally require uniform test forms for which each test form comprises a different set of items, but the forms meet equivalent test specifications (i.e., qualities indicated by test information functions based on item response theory). We propose two maximum clique algorithms (MCA) for uniform test form assembly. The…

Kuo, Bor-Chen; Daud, Muslem; Yang, Chih-Wei – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2015
This paper describes a curriculum-based multidimensional computerized adaptive test that was developed for Indonesia junior high school Biology. In adherence to the Indonesian curriculum of different Biology dimensions, 300 items was constructed, and then tested to 2238 students. A multidimensional random coefficients multinomial logit model was…

Yen, Yung-Chin; Ho, Rong-Guey; Liao, Wen-Wei; Chen, Li-Ju – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
In a test, the testing score would be closer to examinee's actual ability when careless mistakes were corrected. In CAT, however, changing the answer of one item in CAT might cause the following items no longer appropriate for estimating the examinee's ability. These inappropriate items in a reviewable CAT might in turn introduce bias in ability…
