Title
A method for severely constrained item selection in adapative testing
Abstract
Previous attempts at incorporating expert test
construction practices into computerized adaptive
testing paradigms are described. A new method is
presented for incorporating a large number of constraints
on adaptive item selection. The methodology
emulates the test construction practices of
expert test specialists, which is a necessity if computerized
adaptive testing is to compete with conventional
tests. Two examples-one for a verbal
measure and the other for a quantitative measure-
are provided of the successful use of the proposed
method in designing adaptive tests. Index terms:
adaptive test design, computerized adaptive testing,
constrained adaptive testing, expert systems, test
assembly algorithms.
