Dynamic Point Allocation for Adaptive Test Scoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing online testing systems fail to accurately evaluate user abilities and lack engagement, as point allocation for questions is predetermined and does not account for differences in user understanding or response time, leading to uniform scores for users answering the same question correctly.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that dynamically determines point allocation for each question based on answer results from multiple users during the test time, allowing for real-time score calculation and disclosure, enhancing user engagement by providing a more accurate assessment of user abilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If predetermined point allocation is used for each question, then the test structure is simple and easy to implement, but the scoring accuracy cannot reflect differences in user abilities or response time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static predetermined point allocation to dynamic point allocation that changes in real-time based on user performance. The system calculates point allocation dynamically during the test according to response time and answer correctness, allowing the scoring system to adapt to individual user abilities while maintaining implementation simplicity through automated real-time computation.
2Measurement precision
If uniform point allocation is applied to all users answering the same question, then the evaluation process is simple, but users with higher depth-of-understanding or abilities cannot be correctly evaluated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring user responses and using this information to adjust point allocation in real-time. The system provides immediate feedback to users through dynamic score updates based on their response time and correctness, while automatically adjusting the evaluation criteria to recognize higher abilities without complicating the overall evaluation process.
3Productivity
If predetermined point allocation is used, then the test can be administered quickly, but the enjoyment of taking the test is reduced due to lack of personalization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the test system to automatically adjust point allocation based on each user's real-time performance without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously calculating and applying dynamic scoring criteria, maintaining fast administration speeds while providing personalized feedback that enhances user engagement and enjoyment.
