Operationalization and reliability testing of ICF categories relevant for physiotherapists' interventions in the acute hospital [PDF]
Objective: To operationalize items based on categories of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) relevant to patient problems that are addressed by physiotherapeutic interventions in the acute hospital, and to test

Innovations in Measurement: Visual Analog Scales and Retrospective Pretest Self-Report Designs
The authors discuss limitations of two popular measurement procedures, the Likert scale and conventional pretest-posttest self-report design. Both techniques have limits and yet are often combined, leading to restricted fidelity for measuring change. The

Evaluating the Magnitude of Differential Item Functioning in Polytomous Items [PDF]
Several recent studies have investigated the application of statistical inference procedures to the analysis of differential item functioning (DIF) in polytomous test items that are scored on an ordinal scale. Mantel’s extension of the Mantel-Haenszel test is one of several hypothesis-testing methods for this purpose.

Multidimensional Componential Item Response Theory Models for Polytomous Items [PDF]
A framework for modeling componential data using item response theory models for polytomous items is presented. This framework models response accuracies on complex cognitive tasks, which are decomposed in terms of more basic elements (components), such as knowledge structures, cognitive processes, and strategies.

The Effectiveness of the Adaptive Testing Using Selected Response Items and Constructed Response Items [PDF]
This study aimed at investigate the effectiveness of the adaptive testing which consists of both dichotomous selected response items and polytomous items by using generated data from computer,60 dichotomous responses and 10 polytomous responses were ...

An Extension of Testlet-Based Equating to the Polytomous Testlet Response Theory Model
Educational assessments tests are often constructed using testlets because of the flexibility to test various aspects of the cognitive activities and broad content sampling.

Influences on classification accuracy of exam sets: an example from vocational education and training [PDF]
Classification accuracy of single exams is well studied in the educational measurement literature. However, when making important decisions, such as certification decisions, one usually uses several exams: an exam set.

Computerized Adaptive Testing With Polytomous Items [PDF]
Polytomous item response theory models and the research that has been conducted to investigate a variety of possible operational procedures for polytomous model-based computerized adaptive testing (CAT) are reviewed. Studies that compared polytomous CAT systems based on competing item response theory models that are appropriate for the same measurement
