Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a cognitive diagnostic test measuring Japanese particles for elementary-level learners. The attributes required for the measured field are modeled and the attributes needed to solve each test item are specified. We conducted preliminary tests at universities in some countries. And finally we identified nine attributes and developed the cognitive diagnostic test to measure those attributes. We conducted this test in China and the learners’ attribute mastery profiles were estimated based on a cognitive diagnostic model. Also, we developed a Web system with a function of giving feedback to learners. Using this system, each student can get the result (attribute mastery profiles) just after finishing the test.
