Area of Science:

  • Educational Measurement
  • Psychometrics
  • Computerized Adaptive Testing

Background:

  • Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Testing (MCAT) is increasingly used in educational measurement.
  • Item replenishment and calibration are crucial for MCAT item bank management and accurate ability estimation.
  • Online calibration methods are established for unidimensional CAT but underexplored for MCAT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate new online calibration methods for MCAT.
  • To adapt existing Unidimensional CAT (UCAT) online calibration techniques for MCAT.
  • To assess the impact of test length, item bank design, and dimensional correlations on calibration accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Generalizing three UCAT online calibration methods (Method A, one EM cycle, multiple EM cycles) to MCAT.
  • Conducting three simulation studies to compare the proposed methods.
  • Manipulating factors including test length, item bank design, and inter-dimensional correlations.

Main Results:

  • All proposed online calibration methods accurately recovered item parameters in MCAT simulations.
  • Adaptive online calibration designs demonstrated improved performance over random designs across various conditions.
  • The effectiveness of the methods was evaluated under different test lengths, item bank designs, and correlation levels.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed online calibration methods are effective for MCAT.
  • Adaptive online calibration strategies offer advantages for maintaining MCAT item banks and ensuring accurate examinee ability estimation.
  • Further research can explore these methods in real-world MCAT applications.
