| Summary: | This paper is discussing on the higher order
thinking skills assessment focusing on cognitive competency via
assisted assessment. The focus is on short free text answer for
tertiary level of education. The hybrid approached has been
employed in the assessment. The techniques are a combination of
CNN-seq and information theory. CNN-seq concept is used to
generate the pattern of the answer and the information theory is
employed to generate the amount of knowledge and finally the
mark will be calculated. Based on initial test on few data, it is
found that this hybrid technique has produced encouraging
result. Data selection is carefully done to ensure the questions are
belonging to higher order thinking skills category. It is found
that most of questions to test this level of skills not in the format
of textual answer. Due to the difficulty getting the data, the full
testing result is still due. The data collection is still in progress.. |
