Abstract:

In order to reduce repeated testing and evaluate 'relative independence' items on assessment of knowledge, the paper proposes the approach based on the assessment of procedural knowledge that the problem space approach derives the discriminative (bi-discriminative) knowledge structure via skill map. Some theoretical conditions and an algorithm for deriving a discriminative (bi-discriminative) from a problem space are illustrated.

Key words: problem space, skill map, discriminative knowledge structure, bi-discriminative knowledge structure
