Abstract

The papers by Jack Stenner included in this book document the technical details of an art and science of measurement that creates new entrepreneurial business opportunities. Jack brought theory, instruments, and data together in ways that are applicable not only in the context of a given test of reading or mathematics ability, but which more importantly catalyzed literacy and numeracy capital in new fungible expressions. Though Jack did not reflect in writing on the inferential, constructive processes in which he engaged, much can be learned by reviewing his work with his accomplishments in mind. A Foreword by Stenner's colleague and co-author on multiple works, William P. Fisher, Jr., provides key clues concerning (a) how Jack's understanding of measurement and its values aligns with social and historical studies of science and technology, and (b) how recent developments in collaborations of psychometricians and metrologists are building on and expanding Jack's accomplishments. ​ This is an open access book.

2. Chapter 2: Measuring Mental Computation Competence.

Author

Callingham, Rosemary A. and Watson, Jane M.

Subjects
RASCH models, ITEM response theory
Abstract

Chapter 2 of the book "Research in Mental Computation: Multiple Perspectives" is presented. It discusses the Rasch measurement models for gauging the mental computation competence of Grades 3 to 10 students in Australia. It cites the suitability of the model in developing a scale based on mental computation that can be useful for teachers and curriculum developers. It suggests that the middle years of primary school is important in developing mental computation while greater focus on mental computation competition should be done in Grades 7 and 8.

3. Application of Rasch Analysis: Exploring Differences in Depression Between African-American and White Children.

Author

DeRoos, Yosikazu, Allen-Meares, Paula, Potocky, Miriam, and Rodgers-Farmer, Antoinette Y.

Subjects
RASCH models, AFRICAN American teenagers, WHITE people, MINORITIES
Abstract

The use of Rasch analysis to elicit the structure of depression was investigated. Responses from 102 African-American and white adolescents were evaluated using Rasch analysis. Responses from African-Americans and whites were compared to discern differences in the operational definition of depression for the two groups. How Rasch analysis can be used to increase the understanding of depression for African-Americans and other minority groups is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
