Outline of Final Research Achievements

For the purpose of developing CBT for asking academic ability, which is difficult to ask in the paper test, it is a method to evaluate step by step, especially about the effective method of CBT for comprehensive problems, by presenting multiple hints even for problems with a large amount of information. As a result of the monitor test for university students, it was confirmed that it is possible to escape from the evaluation of "completely correct answer" or "completely incorrect answer" by presenting hint questions, but like a comprehensive question, sentences and charts etc. It was suggested that if a large amount of material is included, it may be considered inappropriate for the examinee to present how to read the chart or read the text as a hint. We also clarified the specific issues of utilization in University entrance exam.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

自由記述解答（記述式）の自動採点は難しいとされるが，記述内容を採点するのではなく，解答プロセスを制御することで部分採点を実現する。例えば，数学の問題で解法の誘導が無い問題を最初に提示する。この段階で解けない受験者は，ヒントボタンによりヒントを得る。こうしたヒント情報を段階的に提示することで，どのヒントレベルで解けたのかを把握することができるため，部分採点に近い評価が可能である。解答プロセスの制御により部分採点にアプローチする考え方は，これまでになかった新しい発想である。
