Applying the Rasch Model: Fundamental Measurement in the Human Sciences

Autor Trevor Bond, Zi Yan, Moritz Heene
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iul 2020
Recognised as the most influential publication in the field, ARM facilitates deep understanding of the Rasch model and its practical applications. The authors review the crucial properties of the model and demonstrate its use with examples across the human sciences. Readers will be able to understand and critically evaluate Rasch measurement research, perform their own Rasch analyses and interpret their results. The glossary and illustrations support that understanding, and the accessible approach means that it is ideal for readers without a mathematical background.
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.

Recenzii

From a previous edition:
"The tiresome debate about Rasch vs. IRT is over -- if you want to construct valid measurements from uncertain observations you need to understand and learn how to use Rasch measurement. Bond and Fox is your huckleberry -- read it and get to work!" – Robert W. Massof, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, USA
"Bond & Fox's book is a must read for anyone interested in measurement. This book is my go-to for introducing graduate students to the Rasch model." Kelly D. Bradley, University of Kentucky, USA
"The authors have successfully made sophisticated measurement theory into feasible practice for practitioners by providing clear and intuitive explanations, numerous examples, and nice computer outputs. It is a textbook that I have used and will continue to use in the future." Wen Chung Wang, Hong Kong Institute of Education, Hong Kong
"Bond and Fox provide a clear and accessible introduction to the Rasch model… I always recommend their book when a student or colleagues asks me to explain Rasch measurement theory."George Engelhard, Jr., The University of Georgia, USA
"The Rasch model represents modern measurement theory at its best … Rasch models are used around the world to create psychometrically defensible scales and tests. Bond and Fox provide an accessible introduction to the Rasch model that describes the logic and essential importance of fundamental measurement in the human sciences."George Engelhard, Jr., The University of Georgia, USA
