    This study introduces a method to analyze achievement tests for distinct subtests, revealing learner strategies and improving educational research outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Educational Measurement
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Learning Sciences

    Background:

    • Achievement tests, including cognitive and performance assessments, are frequently analyzed without dissecting their subtests.
    • This approach overlooks the potential for subtests to represent distinct conceptual units within a larger assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and demonstrate a systematic methodology for identifying and analyzing subtests within comprehensive achievement tests.
    • To enhance the interpretability of assessment data by uncovering underlying conceptual structures.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel step-by-step process is detailed for the detection of subconcepts within achievement tests.
    • The methodology is exemplified using relevant data to illustrate its practical application.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method successfully identifies unitary concepts represented by subtests.
    • This analysis provides deeper insights into the specific strategies learners employ during the learning process.

    Conclusions:

    • The methodology offers a refined approach to analyzing achievement tests, moving beyond total scores.
    • This facilitates a more granular understanding of learning and improves the sensitivity of outcome measures in educational research.
