The Architecture of an Intelligent Multilevel Item Bank System for Higher Education Graduate Standardized Testing

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to design the Architectures of an Intelligent Multilevel Item Bank System for Higher Education Graduate Standardized Testing, 2) to assess the suitability of the Architectures of an Intelligent Multilevel Item Bank System for Higher Education Graduate Standardized Testing. The results of the research were divided into 2 phases as follows: Phase 1: Designing the Architectures of an Intelligent Multilevel Item Bank System for Higher Education Graduate Standardized Testing; Designing could be divided into 3 layers: 1. User layer: consisting of users related to 3 groups of systems: 1) Teacher Admin/Program Designated Lecturers, 2) Teachers, 3) Students 2. Process layer: It was part of various modules of the Multilevel Item Bank System, which consisted of 8 main modules: 1) Question Management, 2) Cognitive Level Classification, 3) Trial Testing, 4) Item Analysis, 5) Item Standard Processing, 6) Testing, 7) Proficiency Level Processing, 8) Suggestion Processing, and 3. Output layer: consisted of three main modules;1) Testing Report, 2) Proficiency Level Report, and 3) Suggestion Report. Phase 2: Assessment of the suitability of the Architectures of an Intelligent Multilevel Item Bank System for Higher Education Graduate Standardized Testing by 7 experts in ICT for education, information technology, and computer science; It could be concluded that the Architectures of an Intelligent Multilevel Item Bank System for Higher Education Graduate Standardized Testing had the overall suitability at the highest level.
