摘要

在本文中，我们提出了一个软件工具来衡量评估工具(AI)与课程的一组学习目标(LOs)的一致性。教学大纲、学习目标和人工智能的一致性是决定人工智能质量的主要参数。该工具有助于大大减少教师确保这种一致性所需的时间和精力。它以教学大纲、一组LOs和领域本体为输入。设计了一种基于本体的知识表示机制，将教学大纲的内容、教学目标和人工智能相结合。根据所涵盖的概念和所使用的认知水平来衡量一致性。选择工程二年级的数据结构课程作为研究领域。通过将系统生成的对齐度量与专家教师的对齐度量进行比较，测试了该工具的准确性，并生成了混淆矩阵。概念对齐的平均准确率为90%，认知水平对齐的平均准确率为95%。

A Software Tool to Measure the Alignment of Assessment Instrument with a Set of Learning Objectives of a Course

In this paper, we present a software tool to measure alignment of Assessment instrument (AI) with a set of learning objectives (LOs) of a course. Alignment of syllabus, LO and AI is a major parameter determining the quality of an AI. The tool helps to considerably reduce the time and effort needed by teachers to ensure this alignment. It takes syllabus, a set of LOs and domain ontology as input. An ontology based knowledge representation mechanism is designed to integrate the contents of syllabus, LOs and AI. Alignment is measured in terms of both concepts covered and cognitive level used. The Data Structures course of second year engineering curriculum is chosen as the domain. The accuracy of this tool is tested by comparing the system generated alignment measure with the expert teachers and a confusion matrix is generated. We got an average accuracy of 90% for concepts alignment and 95% agreement in cognitive level alignment.
