Abstract
The Rasch model, a subset of a larger group of models known as item response theory (IRT), is becoming a common way of analyzing psychometric data in educational research. There are many reasons why researchers are adopting this approach. One of the reasons for using Rasch analysis technique is that it is possible to express a person’s measures on the same scale, regardless of which survey or test form the respondent completed. This chapter synthesizes the studies reported in this book and describes the potentials of using Rasch model for objective measurement.
