Definite Integral Automatic Analysis Mechanism Research and Development Using the "Find the Area by Integration" Unit as an Example
Ting, Mu Yu
EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, v13 n7 p2883-2896 Jul 2017
Using the capabilities of expert knowledge structures, the researcher prepared test questions on the university calculus topic of "finding the area by integration." The quiz is divided into two types of multiple choice items (one out of four and one out of many). After the calculus course was taught and tested, the results revealed that the Q matrix of the second type of multiple choice items (one out of many) is closer to that of the experts compared with that of the first type of multiple choice items (one out of four). The statistical information was then analyzed using Bayesian probability analysis methods to establish the "find the area by integration" unit model as an example of a Bayesian network adaptive diagnostic test system and to establish how this structure could be used as the foundation for developing remedial teaching approaches.
