Diagnostische Tests mit R und knitr
Erstellung, Auswertung und Vorbereitung der Rückmeldung
Abstract
Zusammenfassung. In dieser Software-Information werden Möglichkeiten zur Erstellung und Auswertung diagnostischer Tests mit vorwiegend geschlossenen Antwortformaten sowie die Vorbereitung der Ergebnisrückmeldung mit Hilfe des R-Pakets knitr (Xie, 2015, 2016) zur Erstellung dynamischer Dokumente erläutert. Das konkrete Vorgehen wird in vier Arbeitsschritten am Beispiel der Erstellung einer universitären Klausur mit Multiple-Choice-Antwortformat im Fach Methodenlehre exemplarisch illustriert.
Abstract. New options for designing and analyzing diagnostic tests with mostly closed answer formats as well as the preparation of score reporting are proposed by applying the knitr package, an R-Software package for dynamic documents. The approach is illustrated by using knitr for the test design, test analysis, and score reporting of a multiple-choice university exam on social science research methods.
