This study examines measurement invariance of student perceptions of teaching quality collected in five countries: Indonesia (n students = 6,331), the Netherlands (n students = 6,738), South Africa (n students = 3,422), South Korea (n students = 6,997) and Spain (n students = 4,676). The administered questionnaire was the My Teacher Questionnaire…

Maydeu-Olivares, Alberto; Montano, Rosa – Psychometrika, 2013
We investigate the performance of three statistics, R [subscript 1], R [subscript 2] (Glas in "Psychometrika" 53:525-546, 1988), and M [subscript 2] (Maydeu-Olivares & Joe in "J. Am. Stat. Assoc." 100:1009-1020, 2005, "Psychometrika" 71:713-732, 2006) to assess the overall fit of a one-parameter logistic model…

Navas, Patricia; Verdugo, Miguel A.; Arias, Benito; Gomez, Laura E. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Although adaptive behavior became a diagnostic criterion in the 5th edition of the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, AAIDD (Heber, 1959, 1961), there are no measures with adequate psychometric properties for diagnosing significant limitations in adaptive behavior according to the current conception of the…

Lopez-Cuadrado, Javier; Perez, Tomas A.; Vadillo, Jose A.; Gutierrez, Julian – Computers & Education, 2010
The main requisite for a functional computerized adaptive testing system is the need of a calibrated item bank. This text presents the tasks carried out during the calibration of an item bank for assessing knowledge of Basque language. It has been done in terms of the 3-parameter logistic model provided by the item response theory. Besides, this…

Elosua, Paula; Lopez-Jauregui, Alicia – Journal of Experimental Education, 2008
The comparison of scores from linguistically different tests is a twofold matter: the adaptation of tests and the comparison of scores. These 2 aspects of measurement invariance intersect at the need to guarantee the psychometric equivalence between the original and adapted versions. In this study, the authors examined comparability in 2 stages.…

Hernandez, Jose M.; Rubio, Victor J.; Revuelta, Javier; Santacreu, Jose – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Trait psychology implicitly assumes consistency of the personal traits. Mischel, however, argued against the idea of a general consistency of human beings. The present article aims to design a statistical procedure based on an adaptation of the pi* statistic to measure the degree of intraindividual consistency independently of the measure used.…
