Abstract

Cognitive Diagnostic Models (CDM) aim to diagnose and classify respondents based on fine-grained cognitive attribute mastery patterns, holding significant importance in formative assessments. This lecture will provide a brief introduction to Cognitive Diagnostic Models and their applications. It will also offer a hands-on opportunity, allowing students to gain an intuitive understanding of CDM through the analysis of real data.
