Session: Session 1
Room: Room 105
Presentation Type:Oral Presentation
Best practice in the assessment of language teaching and learning is an underused and underappreciated form of art. This art form requires a preliminary stage of constructing objective measurements from raw score data. These modern measurement tools can be manufactured by utilizing Rasch model measurement (Rasch, 1960). Rasch measurement offers many advantages to language assessment stakeholders including primarily the opportunity to enhance and communicate language assessment literacy within the research community. Subsequent parametric statistical procedures and analyses may be conducted with the knowledge that the fundamental data assumptions have been checked and met. This is a crucial consideration for quantitative language researchers who do not want to violate the basic tenets that are often taken for granted when calculating a seemingly simple statistical value, such as a mean or a standard deviation. The purpose of this presentation is to introduce researchers both inside and outside the language assessment stakeholder community to the many benefits of adding Rasch model measurement to their research skill set.
