Dear Staff and Students,
You are cordially invited to attend a Seminar for Research, Publication, and Scholarship of Teaching 2023/24 on “Rasch model and analysis of educational assessment data: An introduction to ShinyTAM” organized by the Department of Curriculum and Instructions.
Teachers’ feedback has a significant impact on students’ learning. Therefore, it is crucial to equip both in-service and pre-service teachers with the skills to provide effective feedback using assessment data. In this seminar, you will learn how to use ShinyTAM, a free and interactive online platform that employs the Rasch model for comprehensive analysis of educational assessment data.
Regardless of your technological proficiency, you'll learn the basic concept of Rasch modeling and ShinyTAM's user-friendly features, from importing data to interpretation of the outputs. ShinyTAM not only validates your data for potential errors but also presents results in a variety of insightful formats. These include the 'Wright Map', 'Item Report', 'Person Performance-Fit Map', and 'Person Report', each offering a comprehensive understanding of both person performance (e.g., unexpected wrong responses to items within a person’s ability) and quality of test paper (e.g., item discrimination of high and low ability students).
This seminar is not just about mastering a new data analysis tool. It's about equipping educators and scholars with a resource that can significantly enhance the quality of assessments and facilitate individualized feedback for learning and teaching enhancement. With ShinyTAM being free and easy to use, this workshop promises to be an invaluable experience for all attendees. We warmly welcome potential audiences, including in-service and pre-service teachers, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and researchers who are interested in Rasch modeling or analysis of assessment data.
