Computerized Adaptive Testing---New Developments and Applications
Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) has become a very important testing mode since it was introduced into the testing field in the early 1970's. It has clear advantages over the traditional paper-pencil testing in many aspects including shorter tests and more efficient score reporting. However, it …

Effective cognitive diagnostic assessment with computerized adaptive testing
… might require a different pedagogical approach. Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is a mode of testing that has gained popularity in recent years, due to its advantages. It tailors the test according to the examinees' ability, that is, each examinee will receive items that are neither too easy …

Item Selection Methods in Polytomous Computerized Adaptive Testing
… technology, the importance of administering adaptive tests with polytomous items is in great need. With regard to the applicability of adaptive testing using polytomous IRT models, adaptive testing can use polytomous items of either rating scales, or in some testing situations of multiple …

Computerized Adaptive Testing and Equating Methods With Nonparametric IRT Models
The flexible forms of nonparametric IRT models make test equating more challenging. Though linear equating under parametric IRT models is obvious and appropriate, it might not be appropriate for nonparametric models. Two approaches are proposed for test equating and examined through simulation as …

Computerized Adaptive Testing and the Experience of Flow in Examinees
In recent years, comparisons between computerized adaptive tests (CAT) and paper-and-pencil tests (P&Ps) have focused less on equivalency and more on the construct validity of shifting between the modalities. Examinee motivation is one area of concern, including test and computer anxiety. One type …

Implementation of Optimal Design for Item Calibration in Computerized Adaptive Testing (Cat)
Item calibration in small sample conditions is an important research and practical issue. This thesis aims to solve this issue by implementing a promising method, optimal design. Contrary to traditional random item selection, optimal design matches examinees and pretest items for maximal …

The effectiveness of using multiple item pools to increase test security in computerized adaptive testing
… exposure control and item pool usage balance for Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT). Also, the extent to that multiple item pools can reduce the bias of CAT in the presence of possibly compromised items will be explored. Item selection algorithms were designed using three conditions: item pool …

Some practical item selection algorithms in cognitive diagnostic computerized adaptive testing -- smart diagnosis for smart learning
… advance the feasibility of cognitive diagnostic computerized adaptive testing (CD-CAT), an intelligent educational measurement tool that was envisioned as enhancing individualized learning over twenty years ago. Several new selection algorithms are proposed for addressing two important issues in …

Item selection methods in multidimensional computerized adaptive testing adopting polytomously-scored items under multidimensional generalized partial credit model
… test formats in the context of Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Testing (MCAT) delivering polytomous items partially or completely in tests. Item selection methods examined include Fisher information based D-optimality (D-optimality), Kullback-Leibler information index (KI), mutual …

Comparison of four stopping rules in computerized adaptive testing and examination of their application to on-the-fly multistage testing
Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is a powerful and efficient approach in educational testing for both estimating ability and classifying examinees into groups. When the purpose is to classify students as either proficient or not proficient in ability, an accurate estimate is not necessary, and …

Item parameter drift and online calibration
… assumption of item response theory based computerized adaptive assessment is item parameter invariance. Sometimes, however, item parameters are not invariant across different test administrations due to factors other than sampling error; and this phenomenon is termed item parameter drift. …

Association Between Health-Related Perceptions and Treatment Outcomes in an Interdisciplinary Pain Management Program
… METHOD: Initial and discharge responses to Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) items were collected. Select measures, such as the PMQ (Pain Medication Questionnaire), BIPQ (Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire), PROMIS Global Health, Composite Pain Rating, and other PROMIS measures were …

Sequential mastery detection and Bayesian learning promotion under cognitive diagnosis models
… progress of each individual. Though building computerized assessments can adopt some established developments from the computerized adaptive testing (CAT) literature, the guidelines to facilitate computerized adaptive learning assessments that aim for didactic outcomes are yet underdeveloped. …

Explore the moving sample size used in a procedure for detecting compromised items based on item response theory
A computerized adaptive testing (CAT) system can provide tests for examinees continuously, so items in the item bank face the risk of being leaked. The IRT-based detection procedure developed by Zhang and Li (2016) is further studied in this thesis, which is designed to identify compromised items …

The Impact of Local Item Dependence on Computer Adaptive Testing given Between and Within Testlet Adaptivity
… very common in educational tests. Additionally, computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is a mode of testing where the test forms are created in real time tailoring to the test taker's previous responses. CATs have gained popularity because they produce a more accurate test score estimate within a …

Some theoretical and applied developments to support cognitive learning and adaptive testing
Cognitive diagnostic Modeling (CDM) and Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) are useful tools to measure subjects' latent abilities from two different aspects. CDM plays a very important role in the fine-grained assessment, where the primary purpose is to accurately classify subjects according to …
