A LOGICAL ANALYSIS COMPUTERIZED ADAPTIVE TEST BASED ON AUTOMATIC ITEMGENERATION

A logical analysis computerized adaptive test based on automatic item generation. The initial efforts to transform a paper and pencil test i nto a computerized test based on automatic item generation are describ ed in this paper. It has three main sections: Section one describes a psychometric model and its use to predict item difficulties. Section t wo describes a mechanism to generate new items with a given difficulty . Finally, section three compares the two tests (the based on automati c item generation and the paper and pencil test) with regard to abilit y estimation precision.
