Description¶
The article introduces a framework of three new measures of test adaptation, each grounded in the amount of information that a test provides to individual examinees. As the abstract states, the measures "are designed to provide theoretical, engineering, and operational views of the amount of adaptation that a particular test provides." The framework extends prior work on quantifying how adaptive a test is.
Accounts¶
- Three measures of test adaptation based on optimal test information provide theoretical, engineering, and operational views of adaptation: The article introduces a framework of three new measures of test adaptation, each grounded in the amount of information that a test provides to individual examinees.

Claims¶
- The three test adaptation measures extend the prior work of Reckase, Zu, and Kim (2019) [+W]
- Simulations of adaptive, multistage, and fixed form tests show the adaptation measures can be used operationally to identify difficulties with adaptation [+W]
