Abstract

The assessment performance of human experts was compared with that of a simple, uni-dimensional, computerized procedure on a standardized task. Experienced tutors were asked to predict the responses of students (correct or incorrect) to some items of a standard high-school-mathematics test, on the basis of some previously observed responses to other items. Both the human experts and the computer procedure selected items, observed the responses, and made predictions concerning the remaining items. This sequence was repeated several times. Detailed comparisons showed that the computer algorithm performed at least as well as the experts both in selecting the most informative items and in predicting student responses.
