Knowledge assessment through tests is objective and effective technology, widely used in modern education. Tests (multiplechoice tests), consisting of dichotomous items (a question with one correct and one or more incorrect answers (distractors) are widely used in modern education to assess students’ knowledge. Test developers face the problem of converting the number of correct answers into a numerical grade for the knowledge of the assessed. Usually, the number of correct answers is converted into a grade based on the evaluators' inner sense of fair evaluation.
Objective: In the present work, a model for knowledge evaluation through dichotomous tests is proposed, based on the so-called semantic branch of Information Theory.
Results: A critical opinion is given for the Classical Test Theory and the modern Item Response Theory as tools for knowledge asse.. Read More»
