Kudos: Wang receives award for research on computerized adaptive testing
Shiyu Wang, an assistant professor in the Department of Educational Psychology, recently received the 2019 Early Career Researcher Award from the International Association for Computerized Adaptive Testing (IACAT).
As an IACAT early career scholar, Wang will receive a $2,500 grant to attend and present her research on computerized adaptive testing (CAT) at the 2020 IACAT Conference. Formed in 2010, IACAT is committed to advancing the science of adaptive testing in all fields of applied psychological and educational measurement.
“I hope my research can help improve and enhance personalized assessment and learning in education,” said Wang. “CAT can estimate test takers’ abilities based on their performances on test questions in real time before using this information to select the most appropriate questions for each test taker.”
