Abstract:
This paper proposes the development of a computational model which will be integrated into Virtual Learning Environment (Virtual-TANEB) that uses the Item Response Theory, statistical Models (Logistic Model of a parameter for dichotomous items with a population and Logistic Model parameters for three dichotomous items with a population) , to evaluate the proficiency of students in any area of knowledge. This computer application is adapted to the studentâ€™s cognitive level through Artificial Intelligence (software agents: Adaptability, Pro-activity, Sociability, Autonomy and Reactivity). Initially, this software includes only the mathematics discipline content of 4th grade of elementary school, specially geometry providing the financial burden reduction and less time to deliver the student evaluation result.
