On applications of Rasch models in international comparative large-scale assessments: a historical review

摘要: Several current international comparative large-scale assessments of educational achievement (ICLSA) make use “Rasch models”, to address functions essential for valid cross-cultural comparisons. From a historical perspective, ICLSA and Georg Rasch's “models measurement” emerged at about the same time, half acentury ago. However, trajectories these potentially complementary movements were not closely linked from outset. This article follows Rasch measurement 1950s present day. Based on technical documentation ICLSA, traces occurrence models in studies, purposes which they are used, within general shift classical test theory probabilistic approaches. We regard this synopsis as an initial attempt explore crossings involvement two fields might initiate further research thecontribution work development measure...
