Using and Developing Measurement Instruments in Science Education: A Rasch Modeling Approach (Hc) (Science & Engineering Education Sources) - Tapa dura
Sinopsis
A volume in Science & Engineering Education SourcesSeries Editor Calvin S. Kalman, Concordia UniversityThis book meets a demand in the science education community for a comprehensiveand introductory measurement book in science education. It describes measurementinstruments reported in refereed science education research journals, and introducesthe Rasch modeling approach to developing measurement instruments in commonscience assessment domains, i.e. conceptual understanding, affective variables,science inquiry, learning progression, and learning environments. This book can helpreaders develop a sound understanding of measurement theories and approaches,particularly Rasch modeling, to using and developing measurement instruments forscience education research.This book is for anyone who is interested in knowing what measurement instruments are available and how to developmeasurement instruments for science education research. For example, this book can be a textbook for a graduate course inscience education research methods; it helps graduate students develop competence in using and developing standardizedmeasurement instruments for science education research. For use as a textbook thereare summaries and exercises at the end of each chapter. Science educationresearchers, both beginning and experienced, may use this book as a reference forlocating available and developing new measurement instruments when conducting aresearch study.

Biografía del autor
Xiufeng Liu is Associate Professor of Science Education at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He received his doctorate in science education from the University of British Columbia in 1993. He was a high school chemistry teacher in China, a research associate at the China National Institute for Educational Research (CNIE), and a science teacher educator in Canada before his current position. He conducts research in the closely related areas of technology-enhanced science assessment, applications of measurement models in science education, conceptual change in science, and science curriculum policies. He has published over 30 refereed articles in key science education journals, 5 books, 15 book chapters, and presented numerous papers at national and international conferences. Dr. Liu teaches courses entitled Measurement and Evaluation of Science Teaching, Seminar on Science Teaching, Seminar on Science Curricula, and Technology for Science Teaching. In addition, he conducts an annual summer science assessment workshop for teachers, and is frequently invited to give talks and workshops on science assessment including Rasch measurement.
