  Process data from educational assessments enhance the understanding of how students answer cognitive items. However, effectively making use of these data is challenging. We propose an approach to identify solution patterns from operation sequences and response times by generating networks from process data and defining network features that extract essential information from them. With these features, we group respondents to a problem-solving task from PISA 2012 using Gaussian mixture models. The results indicate the presence of two and four clusters for groups defined by failure and success on the task, respectively. We interpret the clusters as less-able, low-effort, adaptable, back-and-forth, deliberate, and trial-and-error clusters by considering the cluster-specific feature statistics. The proposed approach sheds light on students’ problem-solving mental processes, which can aid item development and facilitate individualized feedback to students. The method is applicable to many computer-based problems, but a limitation is that the feature definitions can be task-dependent.

Show summary

  Competitiveness as a personality trait is commonly viewed as having three dimensions – competing to win (CW; to dominate and suppress others unscrupulously), competing to surpass (CS; to surpass or excel above others), and competing to develop (CD; to focus on personal development). Using a sample of 926 participants in mainland China, this study examined the structure of competitiveness and inferred relationships between competitiveness and hypothetical altruism in resource allocation games and Machiavellianism. We found that CW was associated with lower levels of hypothetical altruism. Additionally, CW and CS were positively related to Machiavellianism, while CD had a negative association with Machiavellianism. These findings indicated that different dimensions of competitiveness function differently concerning altruism and manipulation, advancing the understanding of competitiveness.

Improving the Precision of Ability Estimates Using Time-On-Task Variables: Insights From the PISA 2012 Computer-Based Assessment of Mathematics. Frontiers in Psychology.

  Log-file data from computer-based assessments can provide useful collateral information for estimating student abilities. In turn, this can improve traditional approaches that only consider response accuracy. Based on the amounts of time students spent on 10 mathematics items from the PISA 2012, this study evaluated the overall changes in and measurement precision of ability estimates and explored country-level heterogeneity when combining item responses and time-on-task measurements using a joint framework. Our findings suggest a notable increase in precision with the incorporation of response times and indicate differences between countries in how respondents approached items as well as in their response processes. Results also showed that additional information could be captured through differences in the modeling structure when response times were included. However, such information may not reflect the testing objective.
