Rasch Measurement Models and the Advanced Placement Program Examinations
Sun, April 15, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Marriott Pinnacle, Floor: Third Level, Pinnacle ISession Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
The purpose of this symposium is to present recent work using Rasch measurement theory to examine the psychometric quality of the Advanced Placement (AP) Program Examinations of the College Board. This program of research addresses the use of the Many Facet Rasch model as the theoretical lens to examine the quality of the ratings obtained within the context of AP examinations. Analyses are conducted using data from several AP exams: Statistics, Environmental Science, and English Language and Composition. This program of research has strong implications for improving both our conceptualization of issues related to rater-mediated assessments, and the use of model-based measurement models (Rasch models) for improving research, theory and practice on AP examinations.
