Abstract

In this paper the realization of computer adaptive testing using mathematical-statistical tools of Item Response Theory is considered. It is aimed for knowledge level quick determination of full-time students and distance educations students, and to identify gaps in their knowledge. The goal of computer adaptive testing is a student knowledge assessment. But mainly it is making recommendations for adaptive learning system to individual learning path construction. Such system can be used in within LMS as well as for students self-training.
