Automatic item generation (AIG) represents a relatively new and
unique research area where specific cognitive and psychometric
theories are applied to test construction practices for the purpose
of producing test items using technology. The purpose of this book
is to bring researchers and practitioners up-to-date on the growing
body of research on AIG by organizing in one volume what is
currently known about this research area. Part I begins with an
overview of the concepts and topics necessary for understanding AIG
by focusing on both its history and current applications. Part II
presents two theoretical frameworks and practical applications of
these frameworks in the production of item generation. Part III
summarizes the psychological and substantive characteristics of
generated items . Part IV concludes with a discussion of the
statistical models that can be used to estimate the item
characteristics of generated items, features one future application
of AIG, describes the current technologies used for AIG, and also
highlights the unresolved issues that must be addressed as AIG
continues to mature as a research area.
Comprehensive The book provides a comprehensive analysis of both
the theoretical concepts that define automatic item generation and
the practical considerations required to implement these
concepts.
Varied Applications Readers are provided with novel applications
in diverse content areas (e.g., science and reading comprehension)
that range across all educational levels elementary through
university."
