by Susu Zhang; Hua-Hua Chang
International Journal of Smart Technology and Learning (IJSMARTTL), Vol. 1, No. 1, 2016

Abstract: This paper provides a brief overview of the theories and research in modern measurement and test theory, also known as smart testing, and further discusses how smart testing relates to the concepts and practices in smart learning. An introduction to smart learning and some of the challenges it is facing will be provided, followed by an introductory survey to a selected few topics in psychometrics, such as item response theory, computerised adaptive testing, large-scale assessments, cognitive diagnosis, and linking, etc. A couple of models regarding the implications of smart testing theories and techniques in smart education will then be proposed, together with the descriptions of some of the ongoing projects combining the two, as well as a discussion on potential future research directions.
