Remove Multiple Competence Assignements to single Question

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

In ILIAS tests an individual question (items) can be assigned to “pay into” more than one competence.

Without evidence for multidimensional measurement, competence-specific scores derived from shared items are very difficult to justify.

However ILIAS offers this functionality which is difficult to justify from a validity point of of view.

Additionally this comes with some complexity to the code. This test comes with siome complexity anyway.

This feature should be abandonned since it invites A) poor measurement and B) unwanted code complexity.

Jackisch, Ingo [jackisch] since competencies add an abstraction layer to test questions I dont agree that a single question will always adress a single competency. I dont see a need that a special sub-part of a questioin needs to be matched exactly to a competency, but the question as a whole shold be able to trigger several competencies (like: If you solve this question correctly, you proved competencies for handling terms and for dealing with logarithms etc.)
If tests which have a limited number of questions are to adress several competencies, it would be even harder to achieve the quorum if every question may only adress a single competency.

6 Implementation

{The maintainer has to give a description of the final implementation and possible consequences for existing installations.}
