The Detection and Correction of Bias in Student Ratings of Instruction.

Haladyna, Thomas; Hess, Robert K.

Research in Higher Education, v35 n6 p669-87 Dec 1994

A Rasch model was used to detect and correct bias in Likert rating scales used to assess student perceptions of college teaching, using a database of ratings. Statistical corrections were significant, supporting the model's potential utility. Recommendations are made for a theoretical rationale and further research on the model. (Author/MSE)
