Description

In our previous study, we developed an algorithm called chained computerized adaptive testing (Chain-CAT), which sequentially links the test results of each administration. To validate the algorithm, we analysed the progression of the conceptual understanding of each student based on Chain-CAT against a clinical interview, then examined the consistency of both results. A pilot study showed that there was uncertainty in scoring among analysts about the methods of quantifying the interview utterance data. To address the issues, the survey procedure was improved for the main study. The results of the main survey (which is now underway) will be reported.
