Cognitive diagnostic assessments have two important purposes: 1) to identify areas in which students are not yet well-versed and 2) to provide suggestions about the causes or possible reasons for the student's lack of knowledge. Teachers can use the results of the diagnosis to develop students in the areas where they are lacking. There is a method for synthesizing diagnostic information with statistical analysis using Cognitive Diagnostic Models (CDMs). Analyzing respondents' responses to exams according to IRT Response Theory through complex statistical models characterized as models. A latent layer that can classify test takers into the latent layer. It specifies those who are knowledgeable and non-knowledgeable in each ability attribute.
A cognitive diagnostic assessment is a type of assessment used to explore the relationship between mental processes and the strategies test takers use to solve problems or answer questions on a test. The information obtained is feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of each test taker's sub-skills or characteristics. Therefore, it is appropriate in the context of assessing reading, which is a brain process according to cognitive theory. There are many ways to apply cognitive diagnostic assessments to language abilities, but one that provides high construct validity is by designing assessments using a cognitive design system (CDS). The relationship between questions and ability characteristics is used to create a cognitive diagnostic test used in cognitive assessment.
