+ | ===Overview=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Traditionally use Likert summated ratings --> cannot verify data | ||
+ | - New: theories can be formally and rigorously tested | ||
+ | - IRT & Rasch: different origins, perspectives and proponents | ||
+ | - weak theory --> weak conclusions -- we need strong theory (IRT and Rasch) | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Mathematical relations between variables and events enables __checking, prediction, analysis__ (refine model, review data) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | New methods also concern the relationship between the TRUE and OBSERVABLE score, BUT also | ||

+ | - Georg Rasch, Copenhagen - Poisson; each Student as an individual | ||
+ | - Stability: __item locations__ and __person locations__ could be estimated independently of each other | ||
