New AI framework enhances adaptive testing for coding problems

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed CodeGENCAT, a novel framework for Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) in programming education. Unlike traditional CAT systems that focus on predicting correct answers, CodeGENCAT leverages generative AI to analyze predicted student code responses, extracting richer information about their knowledge. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that CodeGENCAT significantly outperforms existing CAT baselines, showing improvements in early testing stages. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and informative assessments in programming education by leveraging AI to analyze code responses.

    CodeGENCAT: Generative Computerized Adaptive Testing for Open-ended Coding Problems

    arXiv:2602.20020v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) frameworks typically select questions based on the predicted likelihood that the student will answer correctly. This design ignores information contained in students' open-ended respo…
