Rule Space: An Approach for Dealing with Misconceptions Based on Item Response Theory.

Tatsuoka, Kikumi K.

Journal of Educational Measurement, v20 n4 p345-54 Win 1983

A newly introduced approach, rule space, can represent large numbers of erroneous rules of arithmetic operations quantitatively and can predict the likelihood of each erroneous rule. The new model challenges the credibility of the traditional right-or-wrong scoring procedure. (Author/PN)
