Abstract

This study examines the developmental characteristics of analogical reasoning in preschool children, utilizing Cognitive Diagnostic Models (CDMs) and innovative Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enhance assessment accuracy and efficiency. Participants included 539 preschool children (mean age = 66.87 months, SD = 7.24) from four kindergartens across two cities in eastern China, with 284 boys and 255 girls, representing middle and senior class levels. The analogical reasoning test was designed using animal figure tasks, calibrated with Optical Identify (OID) technology for automated data collection. Results indicate significant age and gender differences in analogical reasoning ability and cognitive attribute mastery patterns. Senior-class children demonstrated higher levels of analogical reasoning, while girls generally outperformed boys. The findings suggest that OID-enhanced cognitive diagnostic assessments effectively capture real-world interactions, supporting detailed diagnostic reports on preschoolers' cognitive strengths and weaknesses. This study contributes to early childhood education by offering a scalable, technology-based assessment model that may improve individualized educational support for cognitive development.

探索学龄前儿童类比推理的发展轨迹：物联网技术增强的认知诊断方法。

本研究利用认知诊断模型（CDMs）和创新的物联网（IoT）技术来研究学龄前儿童类比推理的发展特征，以提高评估的准确性和效率。参与者包括来自中国东部两个城市的四所幼儿园的539名学龄前儿童（平均年龄= 66.87个月，SD = 7.24），其中男孩284名，女孩255名，代表中高级水平。类比推理测试使用动物图形任务设计，使用光学识别（OID）技术进行校准，以自动收集数据。结果显示，类比推理能力和认知属性掌握模式在年龄和性别上存在显著差异。高年级的孩子表现出更高水平的类比推理能力，而女孩的表现普遍优于男孩。研究结果表明，oid增强的认知诊断评估有效地捕捉了现实世界的互动，支持对学龄前儿童认知优势和劣势的详细诊断报告。本研究为幼儿教育提供了一个可扩展的、基于技术的评估模型，可以提高对认知发展的个性化教育支持。
