Abstract
This study explored a diagnostic assessment method that emphasized the cognitive process of algebra learning. The study utilized a design and a theory-driven model to examine the content knowledge. Using the theory driven model, the thinking skills of algebra learning was also examined. A Bayesian network model was applied to represent the theory model and the quantitative assessment structure. Simulated data was applied to the model to illustrate the purpose. The diagnostic assessment model was represented by a Bayesian network model. Four explanatory variables and nine evidential variables were identified. These were developed to describe the content domain and cognitive structure in an algebra learning process. The diagnostic assessment model both exhibited learning progresses and provided diagnostic feedback. Through students’ performance examples model-based achievement scores were reported at three levels: 1) evidential variable level, 2) explanatory variable lower level, and 3) explanatory variable higher level. This study revealed that the diagnostic assessment model can effectively report learners’ progress in algebra learning in both content knowledge and thinking skills.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
