Yasuno, Fumiko; Nishimura, Keiichi; Negami, Seiya; Namikawa, Yukihiko – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2019
Our study is on developing mathematics items for Computer-Based Testing (CBT) using Tablet PC. These items are subject-based items using interactive dynamic objects. The purpose of this study is to obtain some suggestions for further tasks drawing on field test results for developed items. First, we clarified the role of the interactive dynamic…

Sheehan, Kathleen; Mislevy, Robert J. – 1994
The operating characteristics of 114 mathematics pretest items from the Praxis I: Computer Based Test were analyzed in terms of item attributes and test developers' judgments of item difficulty. Item operating characteristics were defined as the difficulty, discrimination, and asymptote parameters of a three parameter logistic item response theory…
