Abstract

ABSTRACT In achievement testing we assume that students will demonstrate their maximum performance as they encounter test items. Sometimes, however, student performance can decline during a test event, which implies that the test score does not represent maximum performance. This study describes a method for identifying significant performance decline and investigated its utility as an indicator of generalized test-taking disengagement. Analysis of data from a computerized adaptive interim achievement test showed that performance decline classifications exhibited characteristics similar to those from disengagement classifications based on rapid guessing. More importantly, performance decline was found to identify disengagement by many students who would not have been identified as disengaged based on rapid-guessing behavior.

性能下降作为广义测试脱离的一个指标

摘要在成绩测试中，我们假设学生在遇到测试项目时会展示出他们的最佳表现。然而，有时学生的成绩会在考试期间下降，这意味着考试成绩并不代表最高成绩。本研究描述了一种识别显著性能下降的方法，并研究了其作为广义测试脱离指标的效用。对计算机自适应中期成绩测试数据的分析表明，成绩下降分类显示出与基于快速猜测的脱离分类相似的特征。更重要的是，许多学生发现成绩下降可以识别脱离，而这些学生根据快速猜测行为不会被识别为脱离。
