Validation of University Entrance Tests Through Rasch Analysis

2020
Initial preparation of first-year university students is often assessed by means of an entrance examination, which tests their knowledge of mathematics and science as well as their reading skills. This paper illustrates how we used Rasch analysis to: (i) investigate the reliability and construct validity of a typical university entrance test ...

Educational leadership effectiveness: a Rasch analysis

Journal of Educational Administration, 2016
PurposeThe purposes of this study are, firstly, to establish the psychometric properties of the ELP tool, and, secondly, to test, using a Rasch item response theory analysis, the hypothesized progression of challenge presented by the items included in the tool.Design/methodology/approachData were collected at two time points through a survey of the ...

Measuring Heterosexual LGBT Ally Development: A Rasch Analysis

Journal of Homosexuality, 2013
An instrument was developed that measured heterosexual persons' level of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) ally identity. Using a Rasch analysis, 2 dimensions were observed: (a) internal and interpersonal and (b) activity. Persons with high levels of LGBT ally identities endorsed items about having LGBT knowledge, attitudes, and skills ...

Applying a Rasch Model Distractor Analysis

2011
An analysis of distractors in measuring achievement provides information about students’ understanding of the variable being measured in the classroom environment. To be able to provide information, a distractor should contain some aspect of the correct answer. Also, the proficiency required to choose the distractor with information should be less than

Survey analysis with mixture Rasch models.

Journal of applied measurement, 2014
This research provides a demonstration of the utility of mixture Rasch models (MRMs) for the analysis of survey data. Specifically, a framework based on a mixture partial credit model (MPCM) will be presented. MRMs are able to provide information regarding latent classes (subpopulations without manifest grouping variables) and separate item parameter ...

Comparing Rasch measurement and factor analysis

Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 1996
This article illustrates how Rasch measurement is preferable to factor analysis for reducing complex data matrices to unidimensional variables. The two methods: (a) address the same kind of data, but with different interpretations of numerical status; (b) use the same estimation methods, but with different measurement models; and (c) solve the same ...

Rasch analysis of the carpal tunnel syndrome instrument

Journal of Hand Therapy
The carpal tunnel syndrome instrument (CTSI) is the most widely used patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However, CTSI is an ordinal-type questionnaire and might have caused misinterpretations of the PROM between surgical outcomes of CTS (Camitz and extra/open carpal tunnel release).This study aims to convert the ...
