  • More about D-scoring Method of Measurement: Classical and Latent Frameworks

The DSM is a unified framework of classical and latent measurement that combines the merits of CTT and IRT for transparency, ease of interpretation, computational simplicity, and practical efficiency. This book provides detailed descriptions of DSM procedures and illustrative examples of how to apply them, with operationalized guidance for their execution using the computer program DELTA. It also demonstrates how DSM procedures can be translated into computer source codes for other popular software packages.

The DSM, or D-scoring Method of Measurement, presents a comprehensive framework that combines classical and latent measurement techniques, referred to as the DSM. This method offers detailed descriptions of its procedures and provides illustrative examples of how to apply the DSM in various measurement scenarios.

The primary goal of the DSM is to merge the advantages of traditional CTT (Constructed-Response Test) and IRT (Item Response Theory) to achieve transparency, ease of interpretation, computational simplicity for test scoring and scaling, and practical efficiency, particularly in large-scale assessments. By providing detailed explanations of DSM procedures, this book demonstrates how the inclusion of operationalized guidance for their execution using the computer program DELTA for DSM-based scoring, equating, and item analysis of test data facilitates practical applications of such procedures.

Furthermore, the book showcases how DSM procedures can be easily translated into computer source codes for other popular software packages, such as R, expanding the accessibility and versatility of the DSM in the field of educational and psychological measurement.

The DSM provides researchers and practitioners with a deep understanding of the DSM as a unified framework for classical and latent scoring, equating, and psychometric analysis. It offers a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance their measurement skills and apply advanced scoring techniques in their research and practice.
