Computerized Attribute-Adaptive Testing: A New Computerized Adaptive Testing Approach Incorporating Cognitive Psychology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern computer technology has accelerated computerized adaptive testing implementation. However, few operational computer-based tests consider the underlying cognitive psychology of testing, either in the test development or in the diagnostic feedback provided to students. A concept of computerized attribute-adaptive testing (CA-AT), which integrates computerized adaptive testing with an attribute hierarchy method, is proposed.. The properties and strengths of CA-AT are elaborated, followed by a feasibility study which evaluates CA-AT with respect to attribute reliability.

The influence of interdisciplinary forces stemming from developments in cognitive science, mathematical statistics, educational psychology, and computing science are beginning to appear in educational and psychological assessment. Computer adaptiveattribute testing (CA-AT) is one example. The concepts and procedures in CA-AT can be found at the intersection between computer adaptive testing and...
متن کاملComputerized Adaptive Testing for Cognitive Diagnosis
Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) has become a popular testing mode in recent decades, because it improves testing efficiency over paper-and-pencil testing while maintaining accuracy. Usually CAT programs are built upon latent trait item response theory models. Cognitive diagnostic models, on the other hand, are constrained latent class models. It is of interest to both researchers and practi...

Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is a sequential experiment design scheme that tailors the selection of experiments to each subject. Such a scheme measures subjects' attributes (unknown parameters) more accurately than the regular prefixed design. In this paper, we consider CAT for diagnostic classification models, for which attribute estimation corresponds to a classification problem. After...
متن کاملComputerized adaptive personality testing: a review and illustration with the MMPI-2 Computerized Adaptive Version.
Computerized adaptive testing in personality assessment can improve efficiency by significantly reducing the number of items administered to answer an assessment question. Two approaches have been explored for adaptive testing in computerized personality assessment: item response theory and the countdown method. In this article, the authors review the literature on each and report the results o...

Learning and instruction can be enhanced with the information provided from assessment. Computerized adaptive testing is an effective mode of e-testing as it can be operated in a continual and dynamic mode. It can also cater for individual needs by providing tailor-made tests. In this paper, we will examine a new item selection approach which would allow more flexibility in balancing the two co...
