Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Educational Measurement: Efficacy of ChatGPT in Data Generation within the Scope of Item Response Theory
<|reference_start|>Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Educational Measurement: Efficacy of ChatGPT in Data Generation within the Scope of Item Response Theory: The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of ChatGPT 3.5 in developing algorithms for data generation within the framework of Item Response Theory (IRT) using the R programming language. In this context, validity examinations were conducted on data sets generated according to the Two-Parameter Logistic Model (2PLM) with algorithms written by ChatGPT 3.5 and researchers. These examinations considered whether the data sets met the IRT assumptions and the simulation conditions of the item parameters. As a result, it was determined that while ChatGPT 3.5 was quite successful in generating data that met the IRT assumptions, it was less effective in meeting the simulation conditions of the item parameters compared to the algorithm developed by the researchers. In this regard, ChatGPT 3.5 is recommended as a useful tool that researchers can use in developing data generation algorithms for IRT.<|reference_end|>
