Overview of the Seminar: Item Response Theory Models and their Applications
This seminar will present a comparison between classical test theory and item response theory. Then, different item response theory (IRT) models and their applications in the educational setting will be introduced. In addition, implementation of these IRT models will be demonstrated in R, a free statistical software.
​
The CPDP on Item Response Theory aims for the participants to:
(1) Determine the uses of Item Response Theory for Scales;
(2) Interpret data from scales using Item Response Theory; and
(3) Use a statistical software to run Item Response theory.
​
Participants may bring their own laptops and extension cord if they want to follow the steps how to use R. Please download the following software (for free) and install it in your laptop before the seminar.
