Accordingly, examining differences in principals' perceptions of leadership activities within and across countries may provide insight into achievement differences. The major purpose of this study was to explore differences in the relative difficulty of principals' leadership activities across four countries that reflect Asian and North American national contexts: (1) Hong Kong SAR, (2) Chinese Taipei, (3) the United States, and (4) Canada. We also sought to illustrate the use of Rasch measurement theory as a modern measurement approach to exploring the psychometric properties of a leadership survey, with a focus on differential item functioning. We applied a rating scale formulation of the Many-facet Rasch model to principals' responses to the Leadership Activities Scale in order to examine the degree to which the overall ordering of leadership activities was invariant across the four countries. Overall, the results suggested that there were significant differences in the difficulty ordering of leadership activities across countries, and that these differences were most pronounced between the two continents. Implications are discussed for research and practice.","PeriodicalId":73608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied measurement","volume":"20 2","pages":"167-183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37004328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Lucky Guess? Applying Rasch Measurement Theory to Grade 5 South African Mathematics Achievement Data.","authors":"Sarah Bansilal, Caroline Long, Andrea Juan","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The use of multiple-choice items in assessments in the interest of increased efficiency brings associated challenges, notably the phenomenon of guessing. The purpose of this study is to use Rasch measurement theory to investigate the extent of guessing in a sample of responses taken from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2015. A method of checking the extent of the guessing in test data, a tailored analysis, is applied to the data from a sample of 2188 learners on a subset of items. The analysis confirms prior research that showed that as the difficulty of the item increases, the probability of guessing also increases. An outcome of the tailored analysis is that items at the high proficiency end of the continuum, increase in difficulty. A consequence of item difficulties being estimated as relatively lower than they would be without guessing, is that learner proficiency at the higher end is under estimated while the achievement of learners with lower proficiencies are over estimated. Hence, it is important that finer analysis of systemic data takes into account guessing, so that more nuanced information can be obtained to inform subsequent cycles of education planning.","PeriodicalId":73608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied measurement","volume":"20 2","pages":"206-220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37004330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, sound and appropriate measurement of drinking behavior is critical to determining what constitutes hazardous drinking. Many research studies use internal consistency estimates as the determining factor in psychometric assessment; however, deeper assessments are needed to best define a measurement tool. Rasch methodology was used to evaluate a shorter version of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, the AUDIT-C, in a sample of adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) who use alcohol and other drugs in South Africa (n =100). Investigations of operational response range, item fit, sensitivity, and response option usage provide a richer picture of AUDIT-C functioning than internal consistency alone in women who are vulnerable to hazardous drinking and therefore at risk of HIV. Analyses indicate that the AUDIT-C does not adequately measure this specialized population, and that more validation is needed to determine if the AUDIT-C should continue to be used in HIV prevention intervention studies focused on vulnerable adolescent girls and young women.","PeriodicalId":73608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied measurement","volume":"20 1","pages":"112-122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10961932/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36986025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Quantifying Item Invariance for the Selection of the Least Biased Assessment.","authors":"W Holmes Finch, Brian F French, Maria E Hernandez Finch","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"An important aspect of educational and psychological measurement and evaluation of individuals is the selection of scales with appropriate evidence of reliability and validity for inferences and uses of the scores for the population of interest. One aspect of validity is the degree to which a scale fairly assesses the construct(s) of interest for members of different subgroups within the population. Typically, this issue is addressed statistically through assessment of differential item functioning (DIF) of individual items, or differential bundle functioning (DBF) of sets of items. When selecting an assessment to use for a given application (e.g., measuring intelligence), or which form of an assessment to use in a given instance, researchers need to consider the extent to which the scales work with all members of the population. Little research has examined methods for comparing the amount or magnitude of DIF/DBF present in two assessments when deciding which assessment to use. The current simulation study examines 6 different statistics for this purpose. Results show that a method based on the random effects item response theory model may be optimal for instrument comparisons, particularly when the assessments being compared are not of the same length.","PeriodicalId":73608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied measurement","volume":"20 1","pages":"13-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36986091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
