Title: MCQ Difficulty Prediction via Modeling Learner Heterogeneity Using Data-Driven Cognitive Profiling
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.16290v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Predicting the difficulty of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) is important for effective assessment, yet current methods typically assume a unimodal student ability distribution, overlooking the heterogeneous nature of student misconceptions. We propose a persona-driven framework that replaces theoretical ability sampling with data-driven cognitive profiling. Using student interactions from the EEDI dataset, we identify behavioral personas via la
