Abstract:
This paper focuses on question paper template generation and its use in dynamic generation of examination question paper. Question paper template generation is a constrained based optimization problem. Choosing an efficient, scientific and rational algorithm to generate a template is the key to dynamic examination question paper generation. By using the evolutionary computational search technique of evolutionary programming and educational taxonomies, this paper analyses and experimentally proves that the generated question paper templates are best suited for dynamic examination paper generation. This new technique outperforms traditional algorithms in terms of coverage of topics, learning domains and marks distribution in the generated question paper.
