SUMMARY:SHORT COURSES: Measurement with the Rasch Model
UID:{http://www.columbasystems.com/customers/uom/gpp/eventid/}cnq-jktugv3
 8-vbq03
DESCRIPTION:This two-day course aims to introduce participants to measure
 ment theory and the Rasch model for construction and validation of measu
 res. It covers the basic theory behind measurement\, from an Item Respon
 se Theory perspective\, focusing on the assumptions of the Rasch models\
 , in particular.  The Rasch model provides the means to create measures 
 (or score scales) from a combination of items in tests or questionnaires
 .  The principles governing the application of such models are shown thr
 ough examples from educational measurement but are easily applicable to 
 other areas in social and health sciences. Participants will have the ch
 ance to practice with various models of the Rasch family (Dichotomous\, 
 Rating Scale and Partial Credit) with specialised software (Winsteps).
