Upon completion of the text, readers will be able to confidently evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of existing instrumentation, compute linear person measures and item measures, interpret Wright Maps, utilize Rasch software, and understand what it means to measure in the Human Sciences. Each of the 24 chapters presents a key concept using a mix of theory and application of user-friendly Rasch software. Chapters also include a beginning and ending dialogue between two typical researchers learning Rasch, formative assessment check points, sample data files, an extensive set of application activities with answers, a one paragraph sample research article text integrating the chapter topic, quick-tips, and suggested readings. Rasch Analysis in the Human Sciences will be an essential resource for anyone wishing to begin or expand their learning of Rasch measurement techniques, be it in the Health Sciences, Market Research, Education, or Cognitive Sciences. Rasch Analysis in the Human Sciences represents a much needed, practical, and approachable guide to the use of Rasch methods and models within the field of education in general and in STEM fields most particularly. With a future ever more guided by data-driven decision-making, it is essential that our educators become more familiar with fundamental measurement concepts. 000697127 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 16, 2013). 000697127 650_0 $$aRasch models. 000697127 7001_ $$aStaver, John R.,$$eauthor. 000697127 7001_ $$aYale, Melissa S.,$$eauthor. 000697127 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000697127 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-6857-4$$zOnline Access 000697127 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:697127$$pGLOBAL_SET 000697127 980__ $$aEBOOK 000697127 980__ $$aBIB 000697127 982__ $$aEbook 000697127 983__ $$aOnline 000697127 994__ $$a92$$bISE
