Outline of Final Research Achievements

Students are encouraged to review their tests in order to enhance comprehension and monitor the effectiveness of learning strategies. But, most traditional tests, which only report a small number of content-based subscores, total scores, or T-scores, are almost no use for providing diagnostic information about students’ strengths and weaknesses. In the present study, we focused on cognitive diagnostic assessment which was designed to measure specific knowledge structures and processing skills in students. The results showed that we could obtain diagnostic information about students’ knowledge states, which was not possible to attain from the content-based subscores and total score.
