MODELAGEM DO SOFTWARE VIRTUAL-TANEB APLICADO NA AVALIAÇÃO DA APRENDIZAGEM NO ENSINO DA MATEMÁTICA DA 4ª SÉRIE DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL USANDO A TEORIA DA RESPOSTA AO ITEM

Abstract

The evaluation systems of Brazilian basiceducation has evolved over the years, but still needsimprovements related to the resources used in the estimatesof the evaluation. One of the biggest advances has been theinclusion of the Item Response Theory (IRT) to thesesystems, providing a statistical analysis based on items asmain elements of the test. Although the Item ResponseTheory is a great quantifier in educational evaluation, thereare still factors that inhibit its use in large scale, such as thefact of the customization of each IRT application and thecomplexity of the mathematical methods involved. Thispaper has the purpose of a system modeling called VirtualTaneb, which uses the IRT as the basis of its evaluationprocess. This software will be implemented later, working onthe analysis of students' knowledge of issues related to thegeometry taught in the 4th grade of elementary school.Index Terms ⎯ Educational evaluation. software agent. itemresponse theory.
