Testing Structural Equation Models - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Testing Structural Equation Models - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book is a valuable adjunct to the extant literature on specification, estimation, and identification. My overall impression is that this volume is indispensable for those wishing to keep current with this fast-moving field. I recommend that this book be used as a supplementary text in a graduate-level course in structural equation modeling. This book . . . provides students with the necessary literature for a broad understanding of structural equation modeling. --Structural Equation Modeling "This book is worth its weight in gold! Drawing on the expertise of key researchers in the field, Bollen and Long provide readers with a comprehensive review of the critical issues, as well as innovative approaches that address these issues in the fitting, estimating, and testing of structural equation models. The book is an absolute ′must′ for all researchers interested in conducting sound structural equation modeling applications." --Barbara M. Byrne, Department of Psychology, University of Ottawa, Ontario "This collection of papers, so nicely written for and edited by Professors Bollen and Long, presents the ′state of the art′ in significance testing and goodness-of-fit indices for structural equation models. The coverage of topics is almost as impressive as the set of authors--nearly all the methodological leaders in this important and quite active research area have helped make this volume an immediate classic. It should be used as a text in graduate-level courses on structural equation models to augment the standard textbooks. The editors are to be praised for lending their own expertise and for taking the time to put this excellent collection together." --Stanley Wasserman, Departments of Psychology and Statistics, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign What is the role of fit measures when respecifying a model? Should the means of the sampling distributions of a fit index be unrelated to the size of the sample? Is it better to estimate the statistical power of the chi-square test than to turn to fit indices? Aimed at exploring these and other related questions, this group of well-known scholars examines the methods of testing structural equation models (SEMS) with and without measurement error--as estimated by such programs as EQS, LISREL, and CALIS. Highly integrated and valuable, this book is a must for every researcher′s shelf, particularly with coverage like: testing structural equation models, multifaceted conceptions of fit, Monte Carlo evaluations of goodness of fit indices, specification tests for the linear regression model, bootstrapping goodness of fit measures, bayesian model selection, alternative ways of assessing model fit, power evaluations, goodness of fit with categorical and other non-normal variables, new covariance structure model improvement statistics, and nonpositive definite matrices.

This step-by-step approach allows students to master testing and measurement concepts through practical exercises and feedback. Using humor, cartoons and real-world examples, Sharon E. Robinson Kurpius and Mary E. Stafford guide the reader through the essential components of measurement, starting with measurement scales and ending with reliability and validity. The authors show that everyone can learn testing and measurement concepts, and they make the learning process fun and non-threatening. For those who want to challenge themselves beyond the self-instructional exercises included throughout each chapter, data sets are provided as an aid to further learning. The book is invaluable for all introductory courses in measurement and testing at undergraduate and lower-level graduate level in the social and behavioral sciences.

Tips for Improving Testing and Grading - John C. Ory - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Tips for Improving Testing and Grading - John C. Ory - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

"The Ory/Ryan volume offers practical advice for developing, using, and grading classroom examinations. The book encourages faculty to understand the potential benefits they can reap from appropriate and careful testing and grading practices, and the role of testing in promoting quality teaching. . . . it is very helpful and well structured for those faculty who rely on traditional forms of assessment. This book will help such faculty improve their test development and assessment skills as well as encouraging them to reflect on their own testing and grading practices." --Patricia H. Wheeler in Evaluation Practice "This [book] provides a thorough discussion of general testing and grading issues. . . . The topics one would expect to be covered are all addressed in a thorough and step-by-step manner. I particularly like the activities accompanying each chapter. They are brief, doable, and inviting. . . . It would be particularly helpful for new faculty, but experienced faculty might also benefit from the discussion of how to evaluate past exams and the pros and cons of various grading policies." --Shirley Ronkowski, Office of Instructional Consultation, University of California, Santa Barbara Do you enjoy teaching students about your field, but loathe the testing and grading process? Do you find yourself using the same kinds of tests that you had as a student? Aimed at helping faculty develop more effective assessment strategies, Ory and Ryan′s book provides practical suggestions for developing, using, and grading classroom exams. Through the use of detailed examples, check lists, exercises, and lucid explanations, this book will help you determine what content to include on an exam, assess difficulty level of items, write different kinds of test items (multiple-choice, matching, true-false, essay, and short answer), prepare a professional-looking exam, deal with cheating, score different test items, determine if various content areas were adequately taught, help students review for an exam, select a grading method, and develop your own grading strategy. If you want your exams and grades to be an accurate reflection of the material your students have mastered, then this book is the resource for you.
