This book was released on 2001 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advantages that computer adaptive testing offers over linear tests have been well documented. The Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) design is more efficient than the Linear test design as fewer items are needed to estimate an examinee's proficiency to a desired level of precision. In the ideal situation, a CAT will result in examinees answering different number of items according to the stopping rule employed. Unfortunately, the realities of testing conditions such as scheduling and improper test-taking strategies on the part of examinees have necessitated the imposition of time and minimum test length limits on CATs. Such constraints might place a burden on the CAT test taker resulting in aberrant response behaviors by some examinees. Occurrence of such response patterns result in inaccurate estimation of examinee proficiency levels. This study examined the effects of test length, time limits and their interaction with the examinee proficiency levels on the occurrence of aberrant response patterns due to rushed guessing. Related figures are appended. (Contains 17 tables and 150 figures.)

This book was released on 2005 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the effect of item response time across 30 items on ability estimates in a high stakes computer adaptive graduate admissions examination. Examinees were categorized according to 4 item response time patterns, and the categories are compared in terms of ability estimates. Significant differences between response time patterns were observed. Highest ability estimates were associated with a response time pattern that was consistent across items, while lowest ability estimates were associated with long response times on items early in the test and short response times late in the test. These results suggest that teaching examinees to manage time effectively can maximize ability estimates. An alternative interpretation is that more able examinees require less time to respond to items. (Contains 4 tables and 1 figure.).

Book Synopsis Practical Considerations in Computer-Based Testing by : Cynthia G. Parshall
Download or read book Practical Considerations in Computer-Based Testing written by Cynthia G. Parshall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces computer-based testing, addressing both nontechnical and technical considerations. The material is oriented toward practitioners and graduate students. The practical emphasis will be useful to measurement professionals who are or will be responsible for implementing a computerized testing program. The instructional information is also designed to be suitable for a one-semester graduate course in computerized testing in an educational measurement or quantitative methods program. While certain theoretical concepts are addressed, the focus of the book is on the applied nature of computerized testing. For this reason, the materials include such features as example applications, figures, and plots to illustrate critical points in the discussions. A wide range ofnontechnical issues need to be considered in implementing a computer-based testing program. Separate chapters are provided on test administration and development issues, examinee issues, software issues, and innovative item types. Test administration and delivery issues include the location of exam administration, selection of hardware and software, security considerations, scheduling of administration frequency and time limits, cost implications, and program support as well as approaches for addressing reliability, validity, comparability, and data analysis. Examinee issues include the influence ofexaminees' reactions to adaptive testing, the effect ofcomputer based task constraints, and the impact of examinees' prior computer experience. Software issues include usability studies and software evaluation as tools in selecting and developing appropriate software, based on the test program needs.

Book Synopsis A Comparison of the Performance of Testlet-based Computer Adaptive Tests and Multistage Tests by : Leslie Keng
Download or read book A Comparison of the Performance of Testlet-based Computer Adaptive Tests and Multistage Tests written by Leslie Keng and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer adaptive testing (CAT) has grown both in research and implementation. Test construction and security issues, however, have led many to reconsider the merits of CAT. Multistage testing (MST) is an alternative adaptive test design that purportedly addresses CAT's shortcomings. Yet considerably less research has been conducted on MST. Also, most research in adaptive testing has been based on item response theory (IRT). Many tests now make use of testlets -- bundles of items administered together, often based on a common stimulus. The use of testlets violates local independence, a fundamental assumptions of IRT. Testlet response theory (TRT) is a relatively new measurement model designed to measure testlet-based tests. Few studies though have examined its use in testlet-based CAT and MST designs. This dissertation investigated the performance of testlet-based CATs and MSTs measured using the TRT model. The test designs compared included a CAT that is adaptive at the testlet level only (testlet-level CAT), a CAT that is adaptive at both the testlet and item levels (item-level CAT) and a MST design (MST). Test conditions manipulated included test length, item pool size, and examinee ability distribution. Examinee data were generated using TRT-calibrated item parameters based on data from a large-scale reading assessment. The three test designs were evaluated based on measurement effectiveness and exposure control properties. The study found that all three adaptive test designs yielded similar and good measurement accuracy. Overall, the item-level CAT produced better measurement precision, followed by the MST design. However, the MST and CAT designs yielded better measurement precision at different areas of the ability scale. All three test designs yielded acceptable exposure control properties at the testlet level. At the item level, the testlet-level CAT produced the best overall result. The item-level CAT had less than ideal pool utilization, but was able to meet its pre-specified maximum exposure control rate and maintain low item exposure rates. The MST had excellent pool utilization, but a higher percentage of items with high exposure rates. Skewing the underlying ability distribution also had a particularly notable negative effect on the exposure control properties of the MST.
