Mathematical Aspects of the Concept of Adaptive Training Device

1006

Abstract

The paper presents a concept of an adaptive training system implied for electronic learning that supports the choice of tasks according to parametric models. This approach is an alternative to the adaptive technologies based on item response theory (IRT). The features of the diagnostic methods underlying the choice of tasks presented in tests include, firstly, the account of the dynamics in an individual’s levels of performance and in the time s/he needs to complete the test, and, secondly, the lesser amount of tasks required to be presented in the training session.
