<p>The invention proposes a SYSTEM of TESTING, ANALISING and REPORTING (STAR) based on the following components: the construction of collaborative databases of items in several languages, the assessment of students' knowledge and abilities in various school subjects by using tests from the databases, the communication to every student of a personalized multi-criteria analysis obtained by processing students' answers, and the improvement of student's learning by offering new sets of questions situated in his/her zone of proximal development. The STAR technology consists in designing questions and tests that are administered to students, followed by the development of a complex computerized analysis of their answers. This analysis is personalized and is delivered confidentially to every student. Relevant data is also prepared and might be delivered to educators (teachers or parents). Based on this analysis, the STAR technology is capable to offer every student an educational program which is adequate to his/her level of competence, interests and preferences. The tests are provided either in printed booklets or in an electronic version. The students' options are recorded on a specially prepared answer sheet which is available in print or in an electronic version. For the printed version, the answer sheets are processed by high speed scanners. The STAR technology supposes:
- An electronic system of recording the questions and their features based on a standardized form, which allows organising databases of items and tests for several school subjects
- A complex testing system that allows identifying and recording a variety of parameters of learning for potentially each school subject
- A methodology for the analysis of students' answers based on a variety of criteria that allow personalized feedback and a learning oriented system of testing students
- The construction of interactive databases for clusters of target population, respectively: students, teachers, schools (or groups of students), which allow statistical analysis
- Operational searching mechanisms in the data bases that allow selecting relevant information for delivering items/ tests that support students' effective learning.</p> |
