The Government has established the infrastructure for knowledge and information-oriented society, strengthening the ICT technology education. Although information knowledge ability of learners is prerequisite to educate ICT, but systematic educating courses and time for that are insufficient, and many difficulties have been pointed out. In order to solve such problems, this study developed Web-based computerized adaptive testing system using the item response theory. This system enables the learners to evaluate their own ICT knowledge abilities in their school or home by using familiar web interface and to perform supplementary or deepening study according to the results, and consequently, smooth education of ICT application will be achieved. In addition, this system will be a very effective method for the elementary/middle/high-school ICT knowledge ability certification system.
