Building an intelligent recommendation system for personalized test scheduling in computerized assessments: A reinforcement learning approach
Behavior Research MethodsJinnie Shin and Okan Bulut
2021-06-15
The introduction of computerized formative assessments in the classroom has opened a new area of effective progress monitoring with more accessible test administrations. With computerized formative assessments, all students could be tested at the same time and with the same number of test administrations within a school year. Alternatively, the decision for the number and frequency of such tests could be made by teachers based on their observations and personal judgments about students. However, this often results in rigid test scheduling that fails to take into account the pace at which students acquire knowledge.
