DACC

Diagnostic Assessment of Chinese Competence (DACC)

The adaptive Diagnostic Assessment of Chinese Competence is the first Chinese reading test that spans multiple stages of learning. Through the DACC you can quickly and accurately locate the students' reading ability levels, and track their growth over time.

Applicable Targets: 2nd to 12th Grades.

Artificial intelligence, precise positioning

With the combination of AI, question library, modern test theory and technology, we can evaluate overall reading ability and perform ability diagnosis over the following dimensions: word recognition, superficial textual understanding, textual integration, inferential understanding, as well as analysis and evaluation. We make use of modern test theory and technology to calculate the level of these reading abilities and to demonstrate precise abilities with numerical values.

Efficient diagnosis, fast and intuitive

Diagnosis in the form of a computerized adaptive test can evaluate overall reading comprehension ability as well as its specific components. At the same time, it can compare the test taker’s scores with the typical scores for their grade level, making the overall abilities across the aforementioned dimensions more intuitive.

DACC Chinese Competence Diagnostic Certification

The Diagnostic Assessment of Chinese Competence is part of a new generation of computerized adaptive tests that combine AI and big data. AI dynamically adjusts and selects the question type according to the initial grade of the test taker and the answering situation of each question.
It also analyzes the reading abilities of the test takers according to following five dimensions based on the cognitive development theory: word recognition, superficial textual understanding, textual integration, inferential understanding, as well as analysis and evaluation.
After the test, the computer uses big data to compare the test taker’s score to the typical scores of the same grade. This analysis shows which grade the reading ability of the test taker actually falls on, and teachers can conduct differentiated teaching based on this.

Official certification by the Ministry of Education

The DACC has passed the certification for the high school learning portfolio platform language proficiency test (code: 07NB~07NM). You can directly search and fill in “DACC” as a “certificate keyword” in the high school student learning portfolio database. In addition to being one such performance certifications, it can also highlight one’s personal reading ability.
