A multidimensional Bayesian IRT method for discovering misconceptions from concept test data by Martin Segado, Aaron Adair, John Stewart, Yunfei Ma, Byron Drury, David Pritchard

“…In addition to a broad first dimension strongly correlated with overall test score, we discover thirteen additional dimensions which load on smaller sets of distractors; we discuss two as examples, showing that these are consistent with already-known misconceptions in Newtonian mechanics. While work remains to validate our findings, our hope is that future applications of this method could aid in the refinement of existing concept inventories or the development of new ones, enable the discovery of previously-unknown student misconceptions across a variety of disciplines, and—by leveraging the method's ability to quantify the prevalence of particular misconceptions—provide opportunities for targeted instruction at both the individual and classroom level.…”
