Applying the Rasch Model
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-14141-7 (ISBN)
Highlights of the new edition include:
More learning tools to strengthen readers’ understanding including chapter introductions, boldfaced key terms, chapter summaries, activities and suggested readings.
Greater emphasis on the use of R packages; readers can download the R code from the Routledge website.
Explores the distinction between numerical values, quantity and units, to understand the measurement and the role of the Rasch logit scale (Chapter 4).
A new four-option data set from the IASQ (Instrumental Attitude towards Self-assessment Questionnaire) for the Rating Scale Model (RSM) analysis exemplar (Chapter 6).
Clarifies the relationship between Rasch measurement, path analysis and SEM, with a host of new examples of Rasch measurement applied across health sciences, education and psychology (Chapter 10).
Intended as a text for graduate courses in measurement, item response theory, (advanced) research methods or quantitative analysis taught in psychology, education, human development, business, and other social and health sciences. Professionals in these areas will also appreciate the book’s accessible introduction.
Trevor G. Bond is currently Adjunct Professor at the College of Arts, Society and Education at James Cook University, Australia. Zi Yan is Associate Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the Education University of Hong Kong.
