Assessing knowledge and performance on computer is rapidly becoming a common phenomenon in testing and measurement. Computer adaptive testing presents an individualized test format in accordance with the examinee's ability level. The efficiency of the testing process enables a more precise estimate of performance, often with fewer items than traditional paper-and-pencil testing methodologies. Computer simulation testing involves performance-based, or authentic, assessment of the examinee's clinical decision-making abilities. The authors discuss the trends in assessing performance through computerized means and the application of these methodologies to community-based nursing practice.
在测试和测量中，通过计算机评估知识和表现正迅速成为一种普遍现象。计算机自适应测试根据考生的能力水平提供个性化的测试形式。测试过程的效率使得能够更精确地评估表现，通常所需的题目数量比传统的纸笔测试方法更少。计算机模拟测试涉及对考生临床决策能力的基于表现或真实情况的评估。作者讨论了通过计算机手段评估表现的趋势以及这些方法在社区护理实践中的应用。
