The purpose of this study is to develop the science item on computer-based performance assessment which is able to replace the assessment with actual experimental apparatus. The survey on the necessities and the difficulties of the assessment with actual experimental apparatus was conducted with 57 physics teachers. By reflecting the results of the survey, the computer-based assessment items which are related with constructing circuits with an ammeter and a voltmeter were developed. The developed computer-based assessment items were organized in similarity to assessment conducted with actual experimental apparatus, proper feedback was provided by students' performance in the process of assessment so as to grading performance results automatically. To achieve them, the algorithm was developed so that computer can judge the accuracy of students' performance results.

Since PISA2006, the computer based assessment in mathematics(CBAM) was introduced for the first times and at last PISA2015 used all items in CBAM for problem solving. In this study, we focused on which important properties were considered in constructing geometric 'fence items' used in PISA 2015 to find the future direction over our teacher education, especially for constructing 'computer based assessment items.' For the purpose of the study, we analyzed the fence items on three components such as dependency, invariant, and path found in dragging activities, within a computer environment using the dynamic Geometry Software, GSP. Also, for the future, we provided an open-ended problem related to the fence items, which we could use as the merit of computer-based environment.

In line with the entry into the digital-based intelligent information society, the science curriculum emphasizes the cultivation of scientific competencies, and computer-based test (CBT) is drawing attention for assessment of competencies. CBT has advantages to develop items that have high fidelity, and to establish a feedback system by accumulating results into the database. However, it is necessary to solve the problems of improving validity of assessment results, lowering measurement efficiency, and increasing management factors. To examine students' responses to the introduction of the new assessment tools in the process of transitioning from paper-based test (PBT) to CBT, in this study, we analyzed the results of the PBT and the CBT conducted in 2021 National Assessment of Educational Achievement (NAEA). In particular, we sought to find the effects on student achievement when only the mode of assessment was changed without change of items, and the effect on student achievement when the items were composed including technology enhanced features that take advantage of CBT. This study is derived through the analysis of the results of 7,137 third-grade middle school students taking one among the three kinds of assessments, which were the PBT or two kinds of CBT. After the assessment, the percentage of correct answers and the item discriminations were collected for each group, and expert opinions on characteristics of response were collected through the expert council involving 8 science teachers with experience in NAEA. According to the results, there was no significant difference between students' achievement results in the PBT and the CBT-M, which means simple mode conversion type of CBT, so it could be explained that the mode effect did not appear. However, it was confirmed that the percentage of correct answers for the construct response items was somewhat high in the CBT, and this result was analyzed to be related to the convenience of the response. On the other hand, there were the items with a difference of more than 10%p from the correct answer rate of similar items, among the items to which technology enhanced functions were applied following the introduction of CBT. According to the analysis of response rate of options, these results could be explained that the students' level of understanding could be more closely grasped through the innovative items developed through the technology enhanced function. Based on the results, we discussed some guidance to be considered when introducing CBT and developing items through CBT, and presented implications.

This paper deals with the practical experience and lessons to develop a method of course-embedded assessment for program outcomes in Computer Science & Information Engineering. In engineering education, ABEEK(Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea) has been nominated as an official accreditation from Korean government under some conditions of fulfillment. One of the conditions is enforcement of course-embedded assessment for program outcomes. In this paper, a method of course-embedded assessment in Computer Science & Information Engineering is suggested. The case study was done in a basic project course which includes the special assessment methods in project courses. The case study of course-embedded assessment in a basic project course was given with consideration for each step, that is, set up of program outcomes which are highly related to the course, selection of assessment tools such as written examination and project-based assessment, set up of assessment criteria, implementation of course-embedded assessment, and analysis of results. The proposed method is expected to be a good example to construct the whole strategy for course-embedded assessment in Computer Science & Information Engineering.

정보사회와 컴퓨딩환경의 발전으로 언어, 학력, 인지도 등의 평가도구로서 컴퓨터기반의 평가환경이 보편화되었다. 특히 컴퓨터기반의 학력평가 환경을 위해서는 문항의 난이도와 변별도 등 문항의 특성을 정확히 분석하는 것이 필수적이다. 문항분석은 컴퓨터기반의 평가를 위한 양질의 문제은행 구성 및 문항과 수험자 능력의 정확한 추정과 체계적이고 과학적인 평가를 위한 전제조건이라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 고전평가이론의 문제분석을 적용한 문제은행 시스템을 구현하였으며 수험결과를 분석하여 각 문제의 곤란도나 변별도, 문항분포도를 통하여 문제를 분석할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 수험자가 각 문제를 푸는데 걸린 시간을 기록하여, 수험자의 문제에 이해도를 정확히 분석하고 수험자의 추측, 랜덤 선택 등으로 인한 정답을 맞힐 가능성과 한 문제를 읽고 이해하는 시간이 너무 오래걸린 이유에 대해서도 추정하였다. 문제분석 및 수험결과의 평가 및 분석으로 교사들은 문항의 양호도를 높일 수 있고 문제은행에 저장되어 있는 문항들을 수정하고 보완하여 양질의 문항을 출제할 수 있도록 하였다.

일반 상식 추론 능력은 가장 사람다운 능력 중 하나로써, 인공지능 모델이 쉽게 모사하기 어려운 영역이다. 딥러닝 기반의 언어 모델은 여전히 일반 상식에 기반한 추론을 필요로 하는 분야에서 부족한 성능을 보인다. 특히, 한국어에서는 일반 상식 추론과 관련한 연구가 상당히 부족한 상황이다. 이러한 문제 완화를 위해 최근 생성 기반의 일반 상식 추론을 위한 한국어 데이터셋인 Korean CommonGen [1]이 발표되었다. 그러나, 해당 데이터셋의 평가 지표는 어휘 단계의 유사성과 중첩에 의존하는 한계를 지니며, 생성한 문장이 일반 상식에 부합한 문장인지 측정하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문은 한국어 일반 상식 추론 및 생성 능력에 대한 평가 지표를 개선하기 위해 문장 성분의 의미역과 자모의 형태 변화를 바탕으로 생성 결과를 평가하는 SRLev, 사람의 평가 결과를 학습한 BIH, 그리고 두 평가 지표의 장점을 결합한 SRLev-BIH를 제안한다.

ICT technology has been applied to various educational fields, but applying to educational test field is limited. Computer-based test (CBT) can overcome temporal and spatial constraints of conventional paper-based test, but is vulnerable to fraud by test parties. In this paper, we propose real-time monitoring and process management methods to enhance the security of CBT. In the proposed methods, the test screens of students are periodically captured and transferred to the professor screen to enable real-time monitoring, and the possible processes used for cheating can be blocked before testing. In order to monitor the screen of many students in real time, effective compression of the captured original image is important. We applied three-step compression methods: initial image compression, resolution reduction, and re-compression. Through this, the original image of about 6MB was converted into the storage image of about 3.8KB. We use the process extraction and management functions of Windows API to block the processes that may be used for cheating. The CBT system of this paper with the new security enhancement methods shows the superiority through comparison of the security related functions with the existing CBT systems.

Mathematics was the main domain of PISA 2012, and both paper-based and computer-based assessment of mathematics (CBAM) were conducted. PISA 2012 was the first large-scale computer-based mathematics assessment in Korea, and it is meaningful in that it evaluated students' mathematical literacy in problem situations using dynamic geometry, graph, and spreadsheet. Although Korea ranked third in CBAM, the use of ICT in mathematics lessons appeared to be low. On the other hand, this study focused on Singapore, which ranked first in CBAM. The Singapore Ministry of Education developed online programs such as AlgeTools and AlgeDisc, and implemented the programs in classes by specifying them in mathematics curriculum and textbooks. Thus, this study investigated influential factors on computer-based assessment of mathematics by comparing the results of Korea and Singapore, and aimed to provide meaningful evidence on the direction of Korea's ICT-based mathematics education. The results showed that ICT use at home for school related tasks, attitudes towards computers as a tool for school learning, and openness and perseverance of problem solving were positively associated with computer-based mathematics performance, whereas the use of ICT in mathematics class by teacher demonstration was negatively related. Efforts are needed to improve computer use and enhance teaching techniques related to ICT use in Korean math classes. Future research is recommended to examine how effectively teachers use ICT in mathematics class in Singapore.
