British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Measurement non‐invariance arises when the psychometric properties of a scale differ across subgroups, undermining the validity of group comparisons. At the item level, this manifests as differential item functioning (DIF), where item responses differ across groups after controlling for the latent trait.

The Uniform Prior for Bayesian Estimation of Ability in Item Response Theory Models
International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2020 ItemResponse Theory (IRT) models traditionally assume a normal distribution forability. Although normality is often a reasonable assumption for ability, it israrely met for observed scores in educational and psychological measurement.Assumptions ...

Applied Measurement in EducationThis study investigates the longitudinal linking of dichotomous item responses at three time points, focusing on the performance of Haberman linking, Haebara linking, Stocking-Lord linking, and concurrent calibration in the presence of item parameter drift (IPD). Two general linking approaches, joint and chain linking, are examined.

Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, Volume 42, Issue 6, December 2026.ABSTRACT Background Inquiry learning relies on students' engagement, which is driven by their cognitive and motivational characteristics. The role of student characteristics for inquiry learning has been sparingly investigated and mainly from a variable‐centred perspective.
