The Comparison of DINA Model and Classical Test Theory in Determining the Learning Gaps

14265

This study analyses the consistency of results of two methods used for determining the lacks of learning. DINA model (Deterministic Inputs Noisy And Gate) is a cognitive diagnostic model and a multidimensional latent class analysis which is developed especially to determine the lacks of learning. Unlike traditional models, DINA does not use the total score of students to determine the lacks of learning. Rather it makes categorical decisions, through item parameters generated by the model, as whether the students have determined qualifications. In this study, the extend to which topics are learned and the lacks of learning of individual students are examined in both methods. Thus, the study aims at revealing the similarities and differences between the decisions of two models in the context of determining the lacks of teaching and learning.
