Contextual Analysis - Gudmund R. Iversen - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Contextual Analysis - Gudmund R. Iversen - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Contextual analysis, the study of the role of the group context on actions and attitudes of individuals, is a useful technique in the study of education, neighborhoods, census tracts, election districts, and the family. However, the effective use of contextual analysis has involved overcoming a number of issues, such as group boundaries, the mobility of the individuals within a group, overlapping groups, missing individual data, and the choice of statistical models. Contextual Analysis offers researchers a guide for selecting the best model to use. Written in a straightforward style, the book explores such topics as contextual analysis with absolute effects, with relative effects, and the choice between regression coefficients as fixed parameters or as random variables.

Test Development and Validation - Gary Edward Skaggs - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Test Development and Validation by Gary Skaggs summarizes the latest test theories, frameworks for test development and validation, and guidance for developing tests in straightforward language in one core text. Students looking for clear, concise explanations of measurement, validity, and test development within a real-world context and with numerous examples will find this book to be an excellent learning resource. Author Gary Skaggs takes years of experience teaching test development to graduate students across social and behavioral sciences and consulting on a wide variety of government and institutional research projects to offer students a thorough, jargon-free, and highly applied book to help propel their own research and careers. Part I of the book, The Big Picture, sets the stage for test development, placing it within the larger context and history of measurement, emphasizing measurement concepts and their evolution over time. Part II, Test Development, covers the technical details of instrument and test development in logical order. Validation, Part III, links the conceptual bases provided in Part I with the technical process provided in Part II to conclude the book. For those students wanting to go further, software suggestions are referenced in the technical chapters, while Further Reading sections offer the original sources for more details. Exercises and Activities at the end of each chapter provide students a variety of ways to apply their knowledge, from conceptual questions to brief project ideas to data analysis problems.

Methods for Identifying Biased Test Items - Lorrie Shepard - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Methods for Identifying Biased Test Items - Lorrie Shepard - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book is highly recommended for all involved in test development or who have any interest in the use of tests in education or in other fields. The necessary mathematics are presented clearly but never obscure the important messages in the book. It will certainly be referred to constantly in my future work in this area. --Educational Research "The fundamental goal of the Measurement Methods for the Social Sciences series is to make complex measurement concepts, topics, and methods available to readers with limited mathematical background but a strong desire to understand, as well as use, methods that are on the forefront of social science assessment. With this book on item bias detection methods, Gregory Camilli and Lorrie Shepard have achieved this goal admirably." --from the Foreword by Richard M. Jaeger What can item bias methods do--and not do--when applied to real test data? Aimed at helping researchers understand how item bias methods work, this book provides practical advice and specific details on the most useful methods for particular testing situations. Beginning with a review of early bias methods and the fairness issues associated with the topic of test bias, the authors explain the logic of each method in terms of how differential item functioning (DIF) is defined by the method--and how well the method can be expected to work in various situations. In addition, chapters include a summary of findings regarding the behavior of the various indexes in empirical studies, especially their reliability, correlation with known bias criteria, and correlations with other bias methods. The book concludes with a set of principles for deciding when DIF should be interpreted as evidence of bias.

Raising Test Scores for All Students - Eugene Kennedy - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Raising Test Scores for All Students - Eugene Kennedy - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Finally—a school improvement plan that raises standardized test scores and improves your students′ performance! Standardized tests are so widely used in public schools, they seem to have been around forever. On the contrary, standardized testing as we know it today is a relatively recent phenomenon, and in today′s classrooms and schools the stakes have never been higher. For students, test results may determine whether they are promoted from one grade to another or if they receive their high school diplomas. For teachers, the pressures are equally great. Student outcomes on standardized tests are often directly linked to annual evaluations, pay raises, and even future employment. And for school administrators, these tests can determine the reputation of a school and be the basis for public rewards or demoralizing sanctions. Raising Test Scores for All Students marries knowledge about testing and test preparation with school improvement, providing a comprehensive guide for administrators looking for a systemic approach to the challenge of standardized testing. Eugene Kennedy includes a concise overview of the history and research on testing, case studies, flow charts and forms, as well as a four-step approach to improving performance: - - - Step 1: Adopting a Systemic Approach to Improvement and Change - - Step 2: Aligning the Educational Process with the Desired Outcome - - Step 3: Aligning the Education Process with Inputs - Step 4: Creating Positive Change . . . Plus strategies and techniques for motivating all your students. This innovative approach is an invaluable tool for any educator!

Experimental Design and Analysis - Lawrence E. Melamed - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Experimental Design and Analysis - Lawrence E. Melamed - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

"Brown and Melamed′s book is one of the best concise treatments of the design and analysis of experiments that I have seen. The authors begin by showing the significance of variability (variance) for the analysis of experiments, and clearly illustrate the utility of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) model to the analysis of experimental data. They also provide a clear discussion of more advanced topics such as nested, factorial, split-plot, and repeated measures designs. Their book is comprehensive, handles each topic deftly, and should be readily accessible to researchers with a good grounding in basic statistics." --Contemporary Sociology "The book is well written and includes useful examples. . . . Useful to researchers in both the planning and analysis phases of an experimental study." --ANNA Journal "Introductory, well written, and has illustrative examples. Highly recommended for introductory courses and self study; the book can be supplemented easily with a treatment of covariates from other available study materials." --Journal of Marketing Research This volume introduces the reader to one of the most fundamental topics in social science statistics--experimental design. The authors clearly show how to select an experimental design based on the number of independent variables, the sources and number of extraneous variables, and the number of subjects. Other topics addressed include variability, hypothesis testing, how ANOVA can be extended to the multi-group situation, the logic of the t test , and completely randomized designs.
