Zhu, Mengxiao; Shu, Zhan; von Davier, Alina A. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2016
New technology enables interactive and adaptive scenario-based tasks (SBTs) to be adopted in educational measurement. At the same time, it is a challenging problem to build appropriate psychometric models to analyze data collected from these tasks, due to the complexity of the data. This study focuses on process data collected from SBTs. We…
