A Step-by-Step Guide to Applying the Rasch Model Using R

A Manual for the Social Sciences

By: Iasonas Lamprianou

This new edition provides a step-by-step guide to applying the Rasch model in R, a probabilistic model used by researchers across the social sciences to measure unobservable (“latent”) variables. Although the focus is on simple R code, the book provides updated guidance through the point-and-click menus of BlueSky Statistics software. The book covers all Rasch models frequently used in social sciences, from the Simple Rasch model to the Rating Scale, Partial Credit, and Many-Facets Rasch models. Using a pragmatic approach to model-data fit, this book offers helpful practical examples to investigate Rasch model assumptions. In addition to traditional Rasch model approaches, it introduces the Rasch model as a special case of a Generalized Mixed Effects Model. Readers will also benefit from the online support material which includes all the code used in the book in downloadable and useable files. It also provides a comprehensive guide to R programming and practical guidance on using BlueSky Statistics software's point-and-click menus. This dual approach enables readers to experiment with data analysis using the provided data sets, enhancing their understanding and application of statistical concepts. It will be a valuable resource for both students and researchers who want to use Rasch models in their research.

Applying the Rasch Model in Social Sciences Using R

By: Iasonas Lamprianou

This unique text provides a step-by-step beginner’s guide to applying the Rasch model in R, a probabilistic model used by researchers across the social sciences to measure unobservable ("latent") variables. Each chapter is devoted to one popular Rasch model, ranging from the least to the most complex. Through a freely available and user-friendly package, BlueSky Statistics, Lamprianou offers a range of options for presenting results, critically examines the strengths and weaknesses of applying the Rasch model in each instance, and suggests more effective methodologies where applicable. With a focus on simple software code which does not assume extensive mathematical knowledge, the reader is initially introduced to the so-called simple Rasch Model to construct a "political activism" variable out of a group of dichotomously scored questions. In subsequent chapters, the book covers everything from the Rating Scale to the Many-facets Rasch model. The final chapter even showcases a complete mock manuscript, demonstrating how a Rasch-based paper on the identification of online hate speech should look like. Combining theoretical rigor and real-world examples with empirical datasets from published papers, this book is essential reading for students and researchers alike who aspire to use Rasch models in their research.

A Teacher's Guide to Assessment

By: James A. Athanasou,Iasonas Lamprianou

A Teacher s Guide to Assessment is designed for educators and instructors. It offers a comprehensive introduction to educational assessment in primary, secondary or tertiary education or vocational training. The emphasis is on the application to classroom teaching contexts. A variety of studies show that most teachers or instructors fail to receive any preparation for educational assessment in their profession. This text offers a semester-long introduction to key issues. It is designed for initial teacher-education courses. There are review questions at the end of each chapter, and exercises are a key feature of the text. Learners are introduced to the assessment of knowledge, skills and attitudes through numerous examples. The text provides a largely non-quantitative introduction to criterion-referenced assessment. Technical details are relegated to the appendices. This text is published under the Social Science Press imprint by Thomson Learning in Australia.
