| Abstract | With recent statistical advances in cognitive diagnostic assessment (CDA), the CDA approach has been increasingly applied to non-diagnostic tests partly to meet accountability demands for student achievement. The study discussed in the article aimed to evaluate critically the validity of the CDA application to an existing non-diagnostic L2 reading comprehension test and to provide information about challenges and conditions for the CDA approach. Based on Jang's study (2005), the paper focuses on the dependability of the Fusion Model's skill profiling, the characteristics of resulting L2 skill profiles, and the diagnostic capacity of LanguEdgeTM test items. In addition, the paper examines the validity arguments from the users' perspective by focusing on the usefulness of the diagnostic feedback. The results suggest that the CDA approach can provide more fine-grained diagnostic information about the level of competency in reading skills than traditional aggregated-test scoring can. While various empirical evidence supported the dependability of the skill profiling process, the results also raised some concerns about the application of the CDA approach to a test developed for non-diagnostic purposes, most significantly, a lack of diagnostic capacity of some of the test items with extremely easy or difficult levels. The results offer useful information about the potential challenges and conditions for future application of cognitive diagnostic assessment. (Verlag, adapt.). |
