| Περίληψη: | In educational assessments, detecting aberrant test-taking behaviors is crucial for ensuring test validity and reliability. We propose a deep learning method based on a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) combined with a sliding window technique, and detect aberrant behaviors by analyzing responses and response times. To validate our method, we conduct simulations with two typical aberrant scenarios: test speededness and item preknowledge. We compare our method with several established methods, including extreme gradient boosting, logistic regression, decision trees, and multilayer perceptrons, as well as traditional educational methods such as person-fit and cumulative sum (CUSUM) statistics. Results show that the 1D-CNN model outperforms traditional methods in accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and the area under curve (AUC), demonstrating superior capability in detecting complex aberrant patterns. Furthermore, real data validation confirms the practical effectiveness and applicability of our method. |
