Further, the efficiency of the virtual world-based assessment was significantly higher, as measured by in-world object interaction rates, for students in the visual signaling version of the assessment than for those in the no-signaling treatment.
Finally, we compare the costs and efficiency ratios of PRBRA with metrics-based assessment and Research Council allocations and show that costs increase going from metrics to PRBRA to Research Council allocation.
Simulation-based assessment methods are common approaches to assess CF. References [3, 4] use methods based on electromechanical transient simulation to assess CF. Although their computational efficiency can be ensured, the assessment results are not accurate enough due to shortcomings of the quasi-steady-state HVDC model.
Indeed, the findings concerning the first and second hypotheses together allow to conclude that the performance-based assessment criteria result into a higher instructional efficiency, since students in the performance-based condition experience a lower cognitive load during the learning phase, followed by a higher performance on the test task (Paas and van Merriënboer 1993; van Gog and Paas 2008).
Most assessment methods are based on ultimate strength, while reliable measurement-based assessment criteria are lacking.
Unlike computer-based assessment, CAT selects items for administration based on item parameters that, if not accurate for CAT mode of administration, may diminish the reliability or efficiency of CAT [ 5, 6].
In this paper we describe a study into the impact of visual signaling techniques used in a virtual world-based assessment of science inquiry and content on (1) student cognitive load and (2) assessment efficiency.
