Bibliometric Analysis of Articles on Computerized Adaptive Testing

Abstract

The items that are suitable for everyone's own ability level with the support of computer programs instead of paper and pencil tests may help students to reach more accurate results. Computer adaptive tests (CAT), which are developed based on certain assumptions in this direction, are to create an optimum test for every person taking the exam. It then becomes essential to examine the development process of such important exams and to monitor what studies have contributed to this development in what year. Citespace is a program developed to map information fields, explain the relationship between different disciplines, examine and estimate the studies in a certain period of time, uncover the latest studies and predict the trend issues that occur according to the analysis of bibliographic records of related publications. In this study, it is aimed to find out what articles about CAT are produced in which areas, at what time periods e and which articles have a significant effect in these periods. CiteSpace program was used to make a document/article co-citation analysis. Articles on CAT between 1946-2016 were scanned by "or" connector. A total of 637 articles were used, the analyses were finalized according to the networks. As a result of the research, clusters were determined based on the relationship in the citations, articles that were the most cited and important among studies on CAT were presented.

“…Application of CAT. CAT has transcended the boundaries of educational assessment, finding its place in diverse fields such as healthcare, sociology, and sports [175].…”

Global trends of the Common European Framework of Reference: A bibliometric analysis

“…This research also makes a contribution by employing the bibliometric method to broaden scholars' understanding of the literature on language instruction. For this reason, bibliometric analyses will continue to be a critical tool for determining the gaps in any subject or field (Yurtcu & Güzeller, 2021). Hence, scholars can use this technique to perform their research, especially when conducting literature reviews on their topic of interest.…”

Discovering the Global Landscape of Agri-Food and Blockchain: A Bibliometric Review

“…This research additionally adds by utilizing the bibliometric technique to enhance academics' comprehension of the literature regarding the implementation of blockchain technology in the agri-food sector. Hence, bibliometric analyses remain a vital tool for identifying gaps in any given subject or field [40]. A total of 1047 documents as resulted in data collection phases were downloaded in CSV Excel and RIS format for the analysis process.…”

“…Furthermore, their contributions will assist novice academics in acquiring a comprehensive outlook on this particular domain [43]. This study uses the bibliometric technique to improve academics' understanding of the literature on blockchain technology application in the agrifood sector because bibliometric analyses remain a vital tool for identifying gaps in any given subject or field [40]. Therefore, researchers might employ this methodology to carry out their investigations, particularly when performing comprehensive examinations of relevant material pertaining to their area of focus.…”
