Wang, Fei; Huang, Zhenya; Liu, Qi; Chen, Enhong; Yin, Yu; Ma, Jianhui; Wang, Shijin – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
To provide personalized support on educational platforms, it is crucial to model the evolution of students' knowledge states. Knowledge tracing is one of the most popular technologies for this purpose, and deep learning-based methods have achieved state-of-the-art performance. Compared to classical models, such as Bayesian knowledge tracing, which…

Dumas, Denis; McNeish, Daniel; Greene, Jeffrey A. – Educational Psychologist, 2020
Scholars have lamented that current methods of assessing student performance do not align with contemporary views of learning as situated within students, contexts, and time. Here, we introduce and describe one theoretical--psychometric paradigm--termed "dynamic measurement"--designed to provide a valid representation of the way students…

Kevin Whiteacre – Intersection: A Journal at the Intersection of Assessment and Learning, 2024
High quality student outcome measures provide the foundation for effective learning assessment. These outcomes can be organized into different categories, such as skills or habits of mind, and evidence types, such as direct or indirect. Prevailing models of assessment, however, focus only on the distinction between direct and indirect evidence…

de Klerk, Sebastiaan; Kato, Pamela M. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2017
Game-based assessments will most likely be an increasing part of testing programs in future generations because they provide promising possibilities for more valid and reliable measurement of students' skills as compared to the traditional methods of assessment like paper-and-pencil tests or performance-based assessments. The current status of…
