用贝叶斯方法实现多维度教育评估的智能对比打分

Bayesian Active Learning for Multi-Criteria Comparative Judgement in Educational Assessment

  • 基于贝叶斯框架,同时支持整体评价和各评分维度预测
  • 通过熵值聚合选出最有效的对比题,减少评估量30%以上
  • 可量化评估者一致性,提升教育评分透明度

比较判断(CJ)通过整体性评估替代分项打分,更贴近真实评价场景。但现有评分标准仍依赖结构化指标,造成整体评价与分项分析间的断层。本文提出一种贝叶斯多维度比较判断方法,扩展灰等人提出的贝叶斯比较判断(BCJ),直接建模偏好而非总分似然,支持带不确定性估计的排名预测。新方法能处理由评分量规定义的多个独立学习成果(LO)维度,实现整体与分项双维度预测。我们设计熵值聚合策略,识别最具信息量的成对比较,显著降低评估负担。在合成数据与真实教育数据上的实验验证了方法有效性。此外,解决了原BCJ无法量化评估者一致性的缺陷,可推导出评估者间一致水平,增强评估过程透明度。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Comparative Judgement (CJ) provides an alternative assessment approach by evaluating work holistically rather than breaking it into discrete criteria. This method leverages human ability to make nuanced comparisons, yielding more reliable and valid assessments. CJ aligns with real-world evaluations, where overall quality emerges from the interplay of various elements. However, rubrics remain widely used in education, offering structured criteria for grading and detailed feedback. This creates a gap between CJ's holistic ranking and the need for criterion-based performance breakdowns. This paper addresses this gap using a Bayesian approach. We build on Bayesian CJ (BCJ) by Gray et al., which directly models preferences instead of using likelihoods over total scores, allowing for expected ranks with uncertainty estimation. Their entropy-based active learning method selects the most informative pairwise comparisons for assessors. We extend BCJ to handle multiple independent learning outcome (LO) components, defined by a rubric, enabling both holistic and component-wise predictive rankings with uncertainty estimates. Additionally, we propose a method to aggregate entropies and identify the most informative comparison for assessors. Experiments on synthetic and real data demonstrate our method's effectiveness. Finally, we address a key limitation of BCJ, which is the inability to quantify assessor agreement. We show how to derive agreement levels, enhancing transparency in assessment.
