Direct linkEgberink, Iris J. L.; Meijer, Rob R.; Tendeiro, Jorge N. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2015
A popular method to assess measurement invariance of a particular item is based on likelihood ratio tests with all other items as anchor items. The results of this method are often only reported in terms of statistical significance, and researchers proposed different methods to empirically select anchor items. It is unclear, however, how many…

van Rijn, P. W.; Beguin, A. A.; Verstralen, H. H. F. M. – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2012
While measurement precision is relatively easy to establish for single tests and assessments, it is much more difficult to determine for decision making with multiple tests on different subjects. This latter is the situation in the system of final examinations for secondary education in the Netherlands and is used as an example in this paper. This…

Recently, L. Zeng and M. J. Kolen (1995) have introduced item response theory (IRT) observed score (OS) equating of number-correct (NC) scores for equating different forms of a test. In this paper, IRT-OS-NC equating is adapted to equating the cut-off scores of examinations. Next, the differences between results obtained using a Rasch model for…

de Jong, John H. A. L. – 1984
The Netherlands' secondary education system is highly differentiated, with four different school types for four scholastic ability levels. Final examinations must accommodate these four levels, and require a test-independent definition of the intended final ability levels as well as a sample-free evaluation of the range of ability levels at which…

PDF pending restorationKelderman, Henk – 1986
A method is proposed to equate different sets of items administered to different groups of individuals using the Rasch model. A Rasch equating model was formulated to describe one common Rasch scale in different groups with different but overlapping sets of items. The item parameters can then be estimated simultaneously, avoiding different…
