Rieber, Lloyd P. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
An important element of good design, instructional or otherwise, is awareness of and being empathetic to the needs, wants, interests, values, and opinions of the intended audience. Typical approaches to learning about the subjective viewpoints of a particular audience have included survey instruments based on Likert-type items and open-ended…

Brewer-Deluce, Danielle; Sharma, Bhanu; Akhtar-Danesh, Noori; Jackson, Thomas; Wainman, Bruce C. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Course evaluations can be used for curriculum improvement and have the potential to better the student learning experience. However, because most are based on Likert scales and open-ended feedback, understanding diversity in student opinion and uncovering optimal options for course change and improvement are often difficult. Alternatively,…

Gingerich, Andrea; Ramlo, Susan E.; van der Vleuten, Cees P. M.; Eva, Kevin W.; Regehr, Glenn – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2017
Whenever multiple observers provide ratings, even of the same performance, inter-rater variation is prevalent. The resulting "idiosyncratic rater variance" is considered to be unusable error of measurement in psychometric models and is a threat to the defensibility of our assessments. Prior studies of inter-rater variation in clinical…

Romero, Sonia J.; Ordoñez, Xavier G.; Ponsoda, Vincente; Revuelta, Javier – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2014
Cognitive Diagnostic Models (CDMs) aim to provide information about the degree to which individuals have mastered specific attributes that underlie the success of these individuals on test items. The Q-matrix is a key element in the application of CDMs, because contains links item-attributes representing the cognitive structure proposed for solve…

John, Aesha; Halliburton, Amy L. – Early Child Development and Care, 2010
This work aims to highlight the relevance of Stephenson's Q methodology (QM) for improving the assessment of child-father attachment relationships. We argue that reconceptualising the relationship can enhance the validity of assessment techniques and help in identifying the paternal behaviours that predict a secure child-father attachment pattern.…

Woods, Charlotte Emma – International Journal of Leadership in Education, 2011
This article is primarily methodological but has dual aims. First, it makes a case for Q methodology as an effective and so far little exploited means of capturing, comparing and contrasting individual perspectives on a specific question in the field of educational leadership. In common with other research approaches designed to uncover the…
