O knihe

A volume in Science & Engineering Education Sources
Series Editor Calvin S. Kalman, Concordia University
This book meets a demand in the science education community for a comprehensive
and introductory measurement book in science education. It describes measurement
instruments reported in refereed science education research journals, and introduces
the Rasch modeling approach to developing measurement instruments in common
science assessment domains, i.e. conceptual understanding, affective variables,
science inquiry, learning progression, and learning environments. This book can help
readers develop a sound understanding of measurement theories and approaches,
particularly Rasch modeling, to using and developing measurement instruments for
science education research.
This book is for anyone who is interested in knowing what measurement instruments are available and how to develop
measurement instruments for science education research. For example, this book can be a textbook for a graduate course in
science education research methods; it helps graduate students develop competence in using and developing standardized
measurement instruments for science education research. For use as a textbook there
are summaries and exercises at the end of each chapter. Science education
researchers, both beginning and experienced, may use this book as a reference for
locating available and developing new measurement instruments when conducting a
research study.
