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.
