Dynamic question paper template generation using bi-proportional scaling method

Abstract

A Question Paper Template defines the scope of question paper with respect to syllabus contents and cognitive skills to be tested. Reforms in the educational system emphasize more on continuous assessment. Continuous assessment needs to test progress of study of various topics of a subject under various cognitive skills at different stages of learning. In order to assist instructors in continuous assessment process and ensure overall quality of the assessment, there is a need to generate Question Paper Templates dynamically and use these templates in framing examination question papers. This paper focuses on the application of Bi-proportional matrix scaling technique for generation of dynamic question paper templates. The results presented in the case study are promising to continue further research.
