Abstract:

A computer simulation study was conducted to determine the feasibility of using logistic regression procedures to detect nonuniform differential item functioning (DIF) in polytomous items. A simulated test of 25 items was generated, of which the 25th item contained nonuniform DIF. The degree of nonuniform DIF in the 25th item was varied in four ways. Item scores were generated using Muraki's generalized partial credit model and the data were artificially dichotomized in three different ways for the logistic regression procedure. The results indicate that logistic regression is a viable procedu

Abstract:

The prospects for the next Generation - whether young people, regardless of their backgrounds, have equal chances of social success - pose a momentous problem for modern societies.

This work argues that social capital transmission plays an important role for the chances of social success in Western societies. For the example of Germany, it is reasoned that weak social capital environments deepen existing disadvantages. Even though all levels of educat

Abstract:

Most quantitative research is conducted by randomly selecting members of a population on which to conduct a study. When statistics are run on a sample, and not the entire population of interest, they are subject to a certain amount of error. Many factors can impact the amount of error, or bias, in statistical estimates. One important factor is sample size; larger samples are more likely to minimize bias than smaller samples. Therefore, determining the necessary sample size to obtain accurate statistical estimates is a critical component of designing a quantitative study. Much research has been

Numerous statistical methods have been proposed for detecting differential item functioning (DIF). Among them, methods based on item response theory (IRT) are theoretically preferred but very complicated and expensive to implement. As an alternative, the Mantel-Haenszel (MH) procedure has emerged as one of the most popular procedures because of its ease of implementation, relatively small sample size requirement, and associated test of significance. In addition, it provides a measure of the amount and direction of DIF. However, the MH procedure is not designed for and therefore not very effect

In this study the effectiveness of the MH and LR procedures was compared under a variety of conditions, using simulated data. The ability of the MH and LR to detect dif was tested at sample sizes of 100/100, 200/200, 400/400, 600/600, and 800/800. The simulated test had 66 items,

Abstract:

Educators and practitioners have been striving for bias-free tests for the last few decades. As a result of this, several indices for bias detection have been developed, among which are the logistic regression and Mantel-Haenszel procedures. However, the effects of variables other than DIF on the performance of the logistic regression and Mantel-Haenszel indices have yet to be researched. The present study examines the effects of sample size, item difficulty, item discrimination, and ability distribution on the distributions and percentiles (P90 and P95) of logistic regression and Mantel-Haens

Abstract:

The frequent use of standardized tests for admission, advancement, and accreditation has increased public awareness of measurement issues, in particular, test and item bias. The logistic regression (LR) and Mantel-Haenszel (MH) procedures are relatively new methods of detecting item bias or differential item functioning (DIF) in tests. In only a few studies has the performance of these two procedures been compared. In the present study, sample size, effect size, and percentage of DIF items in the test were manipulated in order to compare detection rates of uniform DIF by the LR and MH procedur

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem The national six-year graduation rate is less than 60 percent. This alarming yet consistent feature of higher education has led researchers like Bean (1980), Tinto (1975, 1993), Astin (1993), Adelman (1999), Braxton (2000) and DesJardins (2002) to create a body of research which attempts to explain the causes of student attrition and suggest possible interventions. Learning Communities and Freshman Experience courses are two efforts to improve retention which are derived from this research. The purpose of this study was to test portions of Tinto’s longitudinal model

Abstract:

Working within the National Longitudinal Transition Study (NLTS) theoretical framework, the purpose of this study was to explore the effects of individual characteristics, in-school experiences, post-school experiences, and contextual factors on Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) closure status among 4,443 young adults with disabilities who had received and completed services from Oregon VR between 2003 and 2013. This study analyzed extant data from the Oregon Rehabilitation Case Automation System (ORCA), an integrated case management database that collects and tracks demographic characteristics,

Abstract:

Eligibility requirements, the pressure to remain eligible at all costs, and demanding time schedules are high stakes issues that affect the National Colligate Athletic Association (NCAA) student-athletes. A gap in research existed on whether college student-athletes’ demographics and engagement predicts their academic success. The purpose of this quantitative research was to determine the extent to which engagement and demographic factors predict student-athletes’ academic success, as measured by a self-reported grade of B or higher in NCAA first-year student-athletes. This study was influence
