GMHDIF: A Computer Program for Detecting DIF in Dichotomous and Polytomous Items Using Generalized Mantel-Haenszel Statistics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fidalgo, Angel M. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2011
Mantel-Haenszel (MH) methods constitute one of the most popular nonparametric differential item functioning (DIF) detection procedures. GMHDIF has been developed to provide an easy-to-use program for conducting DIF analyses. Some of the advantages of this program are that (a) it performs two-stage DIF analyses in multiple groups simultaneously;…

Barker, Philip – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2008
Learning can take place in a variety of different contexts. Two important categories of learning event are those which are "contrived" and those which are "serendipitous." If they are to be optimally successful, the first of these types of event requires a level of planning that is commensurate with the outcomes that are to be achieved. Planning…

Miller, Charles; Hokanson, Brad; Doering, Aaron; Brandt, Tom – Educational Technology, 2010
This is the fourth and final installment in a series of articles presenting a new outlook on the methods of instructional design. These articles examine the nature of the process of instructional design and are meant to stimulate discussion about the roles of designers in the fields of instructional design, the learning sciences, and interaction…
