Outline of Final Research Achievements

A cognitive diagnostic model was applied to examinees' response data of a non-subject-based test. The skills required to solve each item were specified using statistical methods and the skills were interpreted using insight from research on solving process. The effect of acquiring each skill on the probability that an examinee will answer each item correctly was estimated, and the skill acquisition status of each examinee was estimated. The results suggested that even examinees with similar test scores had different skill acquisition statuses.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

認知診断モデルを適用する前提で設計されていない非教科型テストであっても，テストの正誤データから受験者のスキル習得状態に関する情報を引き出せる可能性が示されたことは，スキルの習得状態を診断する非教科型テストの今後の作成に生かせる成果である。大学で学ぶためのスキルの習得状態を診断する様々な非教科型テストの開発への応用が期待されるという意味で，円滑な高大接続（高校と大学の教育の接続）に役立つ成果が得られた。
