Utilizing Multidimensional Item Response Theory to Examine Social Capital
This study introduces the use of mixed-format multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) analysis for assessing the latent factor structure of the Social Capital Rating Scale (SCRS). The rating scale, an instrument developed for measuring the parent involvement and the peer network of high school …

The Strength of Multidimensional Item Response Theory in Exploring Construct Space that is Multidimensional and Correlated
… the parameter estimates obtained from two item response theory (IRT) models: the 1-PL IRT model and the MC1-PL IRT model. Several scenarios were explored in which both unidimensional and multidimensional item-level and personal-level data were used to generate the item responses. The Monte …

An item response theory-based statistical procedure for detecting concurrent internal bias in ability tests
… internal bias occurring concurrently in several items in an ability test. Concurrent internal bias (CIB) is considered in a nonparametric multidimensional item response theory (IRT) model which models both an ability intended to be measured by the test (target ability) and nuisance determinant …

A Critical Realist Exploration of the Relationship Between Personal and Professional Value Systems in Social Workers and the Impact on Motivations for Participation in a Social Work Community of Practice
… of practice. By merging communities of practice theory, derived from social learning theory, and critical social realist theory, this study bridges an ideological gap between the origins and evolution of personal and social identities. The study utilizes a mixed-method approach to (1) develop a …

Rasch Analysis of Relational Well-Being Within the National Survey of Adoptive Parents of 2007: A Comparison of Multidimensional, Consecutive, and Unidimensional Approaches to Measure Construction
… Parents of 2007 (NSAP) for the well-being items represented a single latent construct and to establish a base model for comparison. A consecutive approach was then used as an exploratory tool to draw out potential multiple dimensions. Finally, multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) …

Comparison of concurrent and separate multidimensional IRT linking of item parameters.
… There are a few studies comparing separate Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) linking methods, however, none of them have compared concurrent calibration and separate MIRT linking. The purpose of this simulation research is to compare the performance of concurrent calibration and …

Questioning the Information Subtest of the Wais-R: Dimensionality, DIF and DBF Analysis, and the Assessment of Category-Specific Semantic Memory Disturbances in Unilaterally Brain -Lesioned Patients
… underlying dimensional structure would be multidimensional for all three examinee groups, and (3) investigate the predictions that either items or item clusters would manifest either differential item functioning (DIF) and/or differential bundle functioning (DBF) in interaction with the LHL …

Computational Thinking Competency: Conceptualization and Assessment
… evaluation using a Rasch model from an item response theory approach. Extending from this, Study 3 examines the structure of CT competency, using a multidimensional item response theory approach, to investigate the structural validity and item quality of the CTC. In addition, a bi-factor …

Item parameter drift and online calibration
An important assumption of item response theory based computerized adaptive assessment is item parameter invariance. Sometimes, however, item parameters are not invariant across different test administrations due to factors other than sampling error; and this phenomenon is termed item parameter …

Graphical models for student knowledge: Networks, parameters, and item selection
… Classification Models and, to a smaller extent, Multidimensional Item Response Theory), most tests that use these models ignore the structure of the sub-domains they diagnose, either treating them as independent or arbitrarily correlated. But, testing efficiencies may be available if the …

Item selection methods in multidimensional computerized adaptive testing adopting polytomously-scored items under multidimensional generalized partial credit model
Four item selection methods are compared and investigated under three test formats in the context of Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Testing (MCAT) delivering polytomous items partially or completely in tests. Item selection methods examined include Fisher information based D-optimality …

Loglinear Models as Item Response Models
For analyzing item response data, item response theory (IRT) models treat the discrete responses to the items as driven by underlying continuous latent traits, and consider the form of conditional probability of the response to each item given the latent traits. In a similar fashion, log-linear …
