RCEC Workshop on IRT and Educational Measurement
Van 12 tot en met 14 oktober zal het RCEC een workshop organiseren over Item Response Theory and Educational Measurement.
The RCEC Workshop on Item Response Theory and Educational Measurement will be held at the University of Twente from Tuesday, October 12, through Thursday, October 14, 2010. This workshop continues the tradition of the IRT workshop, but with an added focus on educational measurement.
We hope you will participate in this workshop. Although the workshop is invitational, we would gladly consider extending invitations to persons in your institution or organization with an active interest in IRT and educational measurement who are not on the list of invitees.
The keynote speaker at this workshop will be Norman Verhelst of Cito in Arnhem (NL). Norman Verhelst received his PhD from the University of Leuven (Belgium) in the area of mathematical psychology. He taught statistics, psychology and psychometrics at the Universities of Nijmegen and Utrecht, and since 1985 has worked as a senior researcher at the National Institute for Educational Measurement (Cito) in Arnhem, the Netherlands. His main interest is in the area of item response theory, especially in reconciling the requirements of mathematical rigor in IRT with the daily practice of testing.
All participants are invited to present a paper.
