Solution Overview

Problem

Teachers lack insight into the difficulty of questions for students, as existing methods do not provide clear feedback on question difficulty, relying solely on student performance to assess question clarity and complexity.

Innovation Solution

An AI-powered quiz builder system that utilizes a difficulty module to assess the difficulty of questions from a student's perspective, providing teachers with feedback on question difficulty and allowing for adjustments to be made.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If teachers create quizzes based on class materials without AI assistance, then the quiz creation process is simple and quick, but the teachers cannot assess question difficulty from student perspective and lack feedback on question clarity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequestion difficulty informationVSAvoidquiz building system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

An AI difficulty assessment module is introduced as an intermediary between the teacher and the quiz questions. This module automatically analyzes question text and materials to generate difficulty scores and clarity feedback, allowing teachers to assess question difficulty without directly interacting with students. The intermediary processes the information and provides actionable insights to teachers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The manual process of assessing question difficulty through student performance review is replaced with an automated AI-based difficulty assessment system. The AI module uses natural language processing and machine learning to analyze question characteristics, materials, and potential student understanding issues, substituting the mechanical review process with intelligent automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of time

If teachers review completed exams to assess question difficulty, then feedback on question performance is obtained, but this feedback is delayed and only available after students have taken the quiz

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback timeVSAvoidquestion difficulty assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The AI difficulty assessment module performs preliminary analysis of questions before they are administered to students. By evaluating question complexity, clarity, and potential difficulty points in advance, the system provides teachers with predictive difficulty assessments, allowing them to adjust questions before deployment rather than waiting for post-exam review.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where AI analyzes question performance data in real-time and provides recommendations to teachers. This feedback mechanism allows teachers to iteratively improve question quality based on AI-generated insights about difficulty and clarity, creating an ongoing refinement process rather than a one-time assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a system for predicting the difficulty of an exam question in which a training module uses training data to create a machine learning model to predict the difficulty of a question, and the difficulty module collects inputted questions and answers from a teacher that are inputted through an education network into the machine learning model, and the difficulty of the question is displayed.
