Summary:
This volume presents applications of the Rasch method to the real
world measurement problems encountered by graduate students and other
researchers. It includes an introductory section written by leaders
and pioneers in the field in which the theory of the model is
outlined succinctly. The major part of the book is devoted to
research problems that have been addressed by a variety of
applications of the Rasch measurement model using commonly available
Rasch analysis programs. These examples will provide models and
guidance for both researchers and students who are learning to apply
the Rasch method. Each chapter outlines the research problem,
describes the data used in the analysis, and presents the results of
the analyses along with their interpretation. Data sets, command
files and output files are available from a website for students and
researchers who wish to work through any example in detail. The
volume concludes with an exploration of some important extensions of
the model to more complex research problems and data structures.
Information about the common Rasch analysis programs is presented by
their developers along with URLs for locations from which
trial/demo/student versions of these programs can be downloaded.
