Harold Doran; Testsuhiro Yamada; Ted Diaz; Emre Gonulates; Vanessa Culver – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2025
Computer adaptive testing (CAT) is an increasingly common mode of test administration offering improved test security, better measurement precision, and the potential for shorter testing experiences. This article presents a new item selection algorithm based on a generalized objective function to support multiple types of testing conditions and…

Jyun-Hong Chen; Hsiu-Yi Chao – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
To solve the attenuation paradox in computerized adaptive testing (CAT), this study proposes an item selection method, the integer programming approach based on real-time test data (IPRD), to improve test efficiency. The IPRD method turns information regarding the ability distribution of the population from real-time test data into feasible test…

Jing Ma – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This study investigated the impact of scoring polytomous items later on measurement precision, classification accuracy, and test security in mixed-format adaptive testing. Utilizing the shadow test approach, a simulation study was conducted across various test designs, lengths, number and location of polytomous item. Results showed that while…

Hacer Karamese – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Multistage adaptive testing (MST) has become popular in the testing industry because the research has shown that it combines the advantages of both linear tests and item-level computer adaptive testing (CAT). The previous research efforts primarily focused on MST design issues such as panel design, module length, test length, distribution of test…

Barrett, Michelle D.; Jiang, Bingnan; Feagler, Bridget E. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2022
The appeal of a shorter testing time makes a computer adaptive testing approach highly desirable for use in multiple assessment and learning contexts. However, for those who have been tasked with designing, configuring, and deploying adaptive tests for operational use at scale, preparing an adaptive test is anything but simple. The process often…

Yigiter, Mahmut Sami; Dogan, Nuri – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2023
In recent years, Computerized Multistage Testing (MST), with their versatile benefits, have found themselves a wide application in large scale assessments and have increased their popularity. The fact that forms can be made ready before the exam application, such as a linear test, and that they can be adapted according to the test taker's ability…

Xu, Lingling; Wang, Shiyu; Cai, Yan; Tu, Dongbo – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2021
Designing a multidimensional adaptive test (M-MST) based on a multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) model is critical to make full use of the advantages of both MST and MIRT in implementing multidimensional assessments. This study proposed two types of automated test assembly (ATA) algorithms and one set of routing rules that can facilitate…

Lin, Yin; Brown, Anna; Williams, Paul – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
Several forced-choice (FC) computerized adaptive tests (CATs) have emerged in the field of organizational psychology, all of them employing ideal-point items. However, despite most items developed historically follow dominance response models, research on FC CAT using dominance items is limited. Existing research is heavily dominated by…

Wang, Wenhao; Kingston, Neal M.; Davis, Marcia H.; Tiemann, Gail C.; Tonks, Stephen; Hock, Michael – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2021
Adaptive tests are more efficient than fixed-length tests through the use of item response theory; adaptive tests also present students questions that are tailored to their proficiency level. Although the adaptive algorithm is straightforward, developing a multidimensional computer adaptive test (MCAT) measure is complex. Evidence-centered design…

Yang, Lihong; Reckase, Mark D. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
The present study extended the "p"-optimality method to the multistage computerized adaptive test (MST) context in developing optimal item pools to support different MST panel designs under different test configurations. Using the Rasch model, simulated optimal item pools were generated with and without practical constraints of exposure…

Hogenboom, Sally A. M.; Hermans, Felienne F. J.; Van der Maas, Han L. J. – Computer Science Education, 2022
Background and Context: Valid assessment of understanding of programming concepts in primary school children is essential to implement and improve programming education. Objective: We developed and validated the Computerized Adaptive Programming Concepts Test (CAPCT) with a novel application of Item Response Theory. The CAPCT is a web-based and…

MacGregor, David; Yen, Shu Jing; Yu, Xin – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2022
How can one construct a test that provides accurate measurements across the range of performance levels while providing adequate coverage of all of the critical areas of the domain, yet that is not unmanageably long? This paper discusses the approach taken in a linear test of academic English language, and how the transition to a computer-based…

Luo, Xiao; Wang, Xinrui – International Journal of Testing, 2019
This study introduced dynamic multistage testing (dy-MST) as an improvement to existing adaptive testing methods. dy-MST combines the advantages of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and computerized adaptive multistage testing (ca-MST) to create a highly efficient and regulated adaptive testing method. In the test construction phase, multistage…

Sahin, Melek Gulsah – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2020
Computer Adaptive Multistage Testing (ca-MST), which take the advantage of computer technology and adaptive test form, are widely used, and are now a popular issue of assessment and evaluation. This study aims at analyzing the effect of different panel designs, module lengths, and different sequence of a parameter value across stages and change in…

Stephen G. Sireci; Javier Suárez-Álvarez; April L. Zenisky; Maria Elena Oliveri – Grantee Submission, 2024
The goal in personalized assessment is to best fit the needs of each individual test taker, given the assessment purposes. Design-In-Real-Time (DIRTy) assessment reflects the progressive evolution in testing from a single test, to an adaptive test, to an adaptive assessment "system." In this paper, we lay the foundation for DIRTy…
