Vocational professional certification learning cognitive assessment evaluation based on rule-space model and relevance feedback

The more professional licenses, the more jobs for student can easily get in Taiwan. It is very important to promote some professional certification for students in vocational education. In this paper, we used the rule-space model to diagnose the cognitive skills for assessment evaluation and also considered the user´s relevance feedback to improve the learner´s learning achievement in ITE (Information Technology Expert) course. The rule-space model approach supports cognitive analysis of student´s network technologies skill. And then to comprehensive what learning tops are weaknesses or strengths by individuals. The learner´s relevance feedback provided user´s evaluation that contained the item difficulty. We implemented a Web testing application for ITE testing simulation. In our experiences, this approach can provide to understand the learning characteristic for e-learning achievement and to explore better educational application. The learner can fit Self-Regulation processing of the Scaffolding Theory and achieving social learning effectiveness, simultaneously.
