Exploratory Bayesian Multidimensional IRT with Rater Effects for Scoring Generative AI Usage

Leon Camus, Sebastian Gombert, Fabíola Ribeiro, Gianluca Romano, Carmen Köhler, Hendrik Drachsler


Abstract
How students use generative AI is a configuration of distinct behaviors, not one skill, yet scoring typically collapses it onto a single proficiency axis, conflating process with product. We develop a multidimensional Bayesian IRT model with rater effects and post-hoc Varimax-permutation identification, surfacing three substantive dimensions: prompting effort, content delegation, AI-delivered citations. Domain familiarity shifts students toward more active engagement and away from delegation.
