Novas estruturas multidimensionais da TRI para consideração do efeito da ansiedade na proficiência do aluno em avaliações de larga escala

Abstract

The Item Response Theory Models has allowed many advances on the educational field. With IRT, it was possible to have a better understanding of the relation between the student and the item of a test. However, those models only determine the relation between the student’s ability and his/her probability of getting the correct response, ignoring the emotional factors that affect his/her cognitive performance. This paper proposes a model that incorporates the effect of the student’s anxiety in IRT traditional model, in the attempt to get the student’s “purified ability”, and, therefore, obtain results that are closer to reality.
