Recent reviews have called attention to limitations of existing observational measures early childhood classroom quality, including low rater agreement, ceiling/floor effects, and imprecise estimation. We offer an introduction the many-facet Rasch model (MFRM), discussing how it can be used iteratively improve address such limitations. provide example applying MFRM develop EMOtion TEaching Rati...

Estimating and monitoring the construct-irrelevant variance (CIV) is of significant importance to validity, especially for constructed response assessments with rich contextualized information. To examine CIV in assessments, we developed a framework including model accounting measurement that could differentiate CIV. Specifically, includes due three factors: variability assessment item scenario...

BACKGROUND Early childhood development is a multifaceted construct encompassing physical, social, emotional and intellectual competencies. The Early Development Instrument (EDI) is a population-level measure of five domains of early childhood development on which extensive psychometric testing has been conducted using traditional methods. This study builds on previous psychometric analysis by p...

Innovative applications of Rasch analysis can lead to solutions for traditional measurement problems and can produce new assessment applications in occupational therapy and health care practice. First, Rasch analysis is a mechanism that translates scores across similar functional ability assessments, thus enabling the comparison of functional ability outcomes measured by different instruments. ...

The Rasch measurement model for developing and revising career assessment tools has many advantages over traditional test development methods. To better understand this method, the current study met its two purposes (a) to illustrate how the Rasch measurement model can aid vocational psychology researchers in increased precision and accuracy in assessment; and (b) to examine the psychometric an...

Abstract Quantitative consumer and marketing research is looking back on an era of construct operationalization predominantly based on classical test theory as a technical framework of scale development. Rasch measurement theory provides an alternative framework of measurement. Previous studies demonstrated the potential of Rasch measurement for marketing research from a theoretical viewpoint, ...

BACKGROUND The multiple mini-interview (MMI) is a new interview process that Dundee Medical School has recently adopted to assess entrants into its undergraduate medicine course. This involves an 'objective structured clinical examination' like rotational approach in which candidates are assessed on specific attributes at a number of stations. AIMS  To present methodological, questionnaire an...

Aviation history provides an apt metaphor for the state of Rasch measurement practice, and its potential future. Flying was initially widely believed to be nothing but a spectacular and dangerous fad. Few saw in it any potential for the huge industry that it is today. The current state of Rasch measurement practice is quite akin to daredevil barnstorming in that the field is focused on isolated...

BACKGROUND Measurement scales seeking to quantify latent traits like attitudes, are often developed using traditional psychometric approaches. Application of the Rasch unidimensional measurement model may complement or replace these techniques, as the model can be used to construct scales and check their psychometric properties. If data fit the model, then a scale with invariant measurement pro...
