Cognitive Assessment Models with Few Assumptions, and Connections with Nonparametric IRT
In recent years, as cognitive theories of learning and instruction have become richer, and computational methods to support assessment have become more powerful, there has been increasing pressure to make assessments truly criterion referenced, that is, to “report” on student achievement relative to theory-driven lists of examinee skills, beliefs and other cognitive features needed to perform t...
متن کاملSelecting the Best Fit Model in Cognitive Diagnostic Assessment: Differential Item Functioning Detection in the Reading Comprehension of the PhD Nationwide Admission Test
This study was an attemptto provide detailed information of the strengths and weaknesses of test takers‟ real ability through cognitive diagnostic assessment, and to detect differential item functioning in each test item. The rationale for using CDA was that it estimates an item‟s discrimination power, whereas clas- sical test theory or item response theory depicts between rather within item mu...
متن کاملItem Response Theory: past Performance, Present Developments, and Future Expectations
We give a historical introduction to item response theory, which places the work of Thurstone, Lord, Guttman and Coombs in a present-day perspective. The general assumptions of modern item response theory, local independence and monotonicity of response functions, are discussed, followed by a general framework for estimating item response models. Six classes of well-known item response models a...
متن کاملKernSmoothIRT: An R Package allowing for Kernel Smoothing in Item Response Theory
Item Response Theory (IRT) models enable researchers to evaluate test or survey subjects and questions simultaneously to more accurately judge the difficulty and quality of the test as well as the strength of each subject. Most IRT analyses use parametric models, often without satisfying the necessary assumptions of these models. The KernSmoothIRT package uses kernel smoothing from Ramsay (1991...
متن کاملSome topics in nonparametric and parametric IRT, with some thoughts about the future
1 Abstract Item response theory (IRT) has arguably been one of the most successful and widely used statistical modeling techniques in psychometrics, with applications in developmental, social, educational and cognitive psychology for example, as well as in medical research, demography and other social science settings. In this paper I will try to briefly summarize some of the important research...
