In Web-based learning systems, the techniques, as self-regulated learning, self-directed learning, are used to improve the effect of learner's study. These techniques are methods considering learner's study level but to consider the learner's study ability properly, the tailored course for learner should be applied. In this research, the learning system considering learner's study ability was proposed. To decide a learner's study ability, IRT(Item Response Theory) was applied and learning contents and question items were developed and applied by the degree of difficulty.

The purpose of educational assessments such as the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is to compare groups such as countries. When the unit of measurement is above the student level, group-level diagnostic assessment based on multilevel item response theory (ML-IRT) can be considered just as cognitive diagnosis models are developed from item response theory. This study suggests an ML-IRT-based group-level diagnostic assessment model by modifying an item feature model by Park and bolt (2008). The model is illustrated on the recently released TIMSS 2015 Grade 8 mathematics assessment. The results provide skill profiles for the studied countries and the nine cognitive attributes; that is, the attribute effects can be compared across the countries and also across the attributes. By controlling unexplained variance, the suggested model may provide more reliable and more informative group-level comparisons. The results are interpreted using an example. Limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.

많은 학습 시스템에서 학습자의 수준에 맞는 맞춤학습을 위해서 학습자의 정확한 능력을 측정하는 평가 방법이 필요하다. 기존의 지필고사는 이를 위해서 학습자의 능력과 관련된 많은 수의 문항을 똑같은 시간과 순서대로 풀게 되므로 평가의 효율성 면에서 문제를 가지고 있다. 따라서 이러한 지필고사방식의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 문항정보이론과 컴퓨터의 처리성능을 결합시킨 컴퓨터화된 적응적 검사(CAT)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. CAT는 지필고사의 문제점을 상당부분 해결했으나 문항간 연관성에 대해서는 독립을 가정하여 그렇지 않은 경우에는 비효율성을 가져올 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 문항반응이론 방식의 CAT가 가진 문제점을 해결하면서 성능이 개선된 베이지안 네트워크를 도입한 CAT를 제안한다. 이는 베이지안 네트워크에 평가문항을 세부분야별로 대입하여 한 문항에 대한 응답으로 그와 연관된 분야의 학습자 능력을 추론한다. 또한 실험을 통해 기존의 기법을 사용했을 때에 비해 학습자의 실제 능력치에 수렴하는 속도가 증가함을 보인다.

In this study, we have developed a web-based adaptive testing system using item response theory´s computerized adaptive testing to diagnose underachievers, and to check the evaluation results immediately. Adaptive testing system simple is not the fact that it presents a question to students. It calculates information of a question and presents the question to students. It controls the response of the students under extraction conditions of the next question. It extracts the question which is the most suitable it presents. In this adaptive testing system, you can extract questions according to the level of the students, and adjust the length and the level of the difficulty according to the response of the students.

본 연구에서는 2004년 11월에 시행된 '2005학년도 대학수학능력시험 수리영역 가형' 의 문항을 분석하였다. 즉, 2-모수 문항 반응 모형에 근거한 베이지안(Bayesian) 1.0을 이용하여 문항의 난이도 및 변별도를 측정하였으며 고전검사이론 프로그램임 테스트안(Testan) 1.0을 이용하여 문항의 신뢰도 및 오답지 매력도를 구하였다. 이 결과는, 학생들이 어느 단원을 어려워하고 어떤 내용을 이해하지 못 하는지 그 원인을 찾을 수 있으므로, 교수-학습의 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

학교에서 실시되는 평가의 주체는 교사이므로, 교사는 '좋은 평가 도구'를 개발 ${\cdot}$ 제작 할 수 있어야 한다. 좋은 평가 도구를 제작하기 위해서는 이에 대한 직접적인 훈련이 필수적인 동시에 교사 교육의 첫 단계부터 좋은 평가 도구로 평가를 받는 간접 경험도 중요하다. 이 논문에서는 문항반응이론을 적용하여 수학교사 양성기관에서 사용되는 지필고사 문항에 대하여 신뢰도, 타당도, 난이도 및 변별도를 측정하였다. 이 결과는 평가 문항을 개발할 때에 기초자료로 사용될 수 있다.

In this Study, to reconstruct the disability identity scale(Lee and Shin, 2006)), Rasch rating scale model was applied to the four sub-dimensions of the Disability Identity Scale in a sample of spinal cord injuries(N=397). The Disability Identity Scale was verified by explorative factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. However, factor analytic procedures can't evaluate item-fit indices, item difficulty, and appropriate scale category. A number of limitations posed by confirmatory factor analytic procedures can be averted with the use of Rasch rating scale model which is in the item response theory(IRT). So in this study, Rasch model was applied to the Disability Identity Scale. Results revealed that (A) 20 items were selected from Rasch model, (B) the difficulty level of the Disability Identity Scale was the average level, (C) 4-point rating scale was appropriate for the Disability Identity Scale. Finally, we could suggest that the sub-dimensions concepts of the disability identity became clearer and items were to the good fitting.

This paper proposes an adaptive tutoring system that provides learning materials dynamically according to the learners' teaming character and ability. Our system, in which a learning phase and a test phase are linked together, supports the personalized instruction-learning by providing the teaming materials by level in the learning phase according to the teaming ability estimated in the test phase. We design and implement a tutoring system consisted of an evaluation component and a learning component. An evaluation component uses a computerized adaptive test(CAT) based on item response theory to evaluate learners' ability while a learning component employs fuzzy level set theory so that teaming contents are provided to learners according to learners' level.

In existing the learner testing system, it has a weak point to determine differently the difficulty of each question which has been estimated by teacher's view and the subjective stand point. In this paper, we develops the learner testing system which supports the estimation of the individual ability of learner, provides the questions for suitable to the individual learner level, and able to estimate the question of individual that used by three parameters such as the difficulty parameter, discrimination parameter, and guessing parameter. Also, it is applied to three-parameters logistic model of IRT(Item Response Theory) for using CAT(Computer Adaptive Testing) technique.

Purpose: This study was to develop the Preventive Self-Management Knowledge related to Premature Labor (PSMK-PL) scale for women of childbearing age. Methods: Preliminary items were developed based on the literature and interview results of those who experienced premature labor. The online survey was conducted and the data of 250 women were analyzed using the DIMTEST and DETECT programs by applying the item response theory. Internal consistency reliability was analyzed with Cronbach's alpha (95% CI). Results: Among the 30 preliminary items, six items were deleted. The difficulty and discrimination of the 24 final three-dimensional scales were all acceptable, respectively. Cronbach's alpha (95% CI) was .89 (.87~.91). Conclusion: The PSMK-PL scale generally consisted of items with validity, and the reliability was acceptable.
