EDUC.7051 Psychometrics Methods for Ed & Social Science

Id: 002478 Credits: 3-3

Description

This course is intended for students who possess a foundational understanding of regression analysis and who have a requirement for utilizing instruments to quantify constructs of interest. The purpose of this course is to impart students with a well-rounded understanding of the fundamental psychometric theories that underlie the processes of designing, analyzing, interpreting, and evaluating measurement instruments. During the initial portion of the course, students will study concepts and principles that form the foundation of psychometric theory. The latter part of the course will focus on psychometric analysis. Students will learn statistical techniques for evaluating score reliability, validity, and measurement invariance, through the lens of latent variables within the structural equation modeling framework. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to confidently apply psychometric theory to real-world scenarios.
