Personalized Learning: An Analysis Using Item Response Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Personalized learning becomes increasingly popular which not be restricted by time, place or any other barriers. This study proposes an analysis of Personalized Learning using Item Response Theory which considers course material difficulty and learner ability. The study investigates twenty undergraduate students at TATI University College, who are taking programming subject. By using the IRT, it was found that, finding the most appropriate problem levels to each student include high and low level test items together is not a problem. Thus, the student abilities can be asses more accurately and fairly. Learners who experience more anxiety will affect a heavier cognitive load and receive lower test scores. Instructors are encouraged to provide a supportive learning environment to enhance learning effectiveness because Cognitive Load Theory concerns the limited capacity of the brain to absorb new information. Keywords—Analysis, Cognitive Load Theory, Item Response Theory, Learning, Motivation, Performance.

In web-based educational systems the structure of learning domain and content are usually presented in the static way, without taking into account the learners’ goals, their experiences, their existing knowledge, their ability (known as insufficient flexibility), and without interactivity (means there is less opportunity for receiving instant responses or feedbacks from the instructor when lear...
متن کاملAberrant Learning Achievement Detection Based on Person-fit Statistics in Personalized e-Learning Systems
A personalized e-learning service provides learning content to fit learners’ individual differences. Learning achievements are influenced by cognitive as well as non-cognitive factors such as mood, motivation, interest, and personal styles. This paper proposes the Learning Caution Indexes (LCI) to detect aberrant learning patterns. The philosophy behind the LCI is that if any non-cognitive fact...
