Abstract:

M-fluctuation tests are a recently proposed method for detecting differential item functioning in Rasch models. This article discusses a generalization of this method to two additional item response theory models: the two-parametric logistic model and the three-parametric logistic model with a common guessing parameter. The Type I error rate and the power of this method were evaluated by a variety of simulation studies. The results suggest that the new method allows the detection of various forms of differential item functioning in these models, which also includes differential discrimination

Abstract:

This article provides psychometric analysis of the performance of nursing students on categories of client needs (CN) and nursing process (NP) measured by the NLN Diagnostic Readiness Test (NLN-DRT) for RN licensure. While analyses of items and number-right score performance with NLN tests are well documented, the analysis of proficiency on categories that organize items at the conceptual level is limited to reporting basic classical statistics (e.g., proportion of correct scores and percentiles). The psychometric analysis of proficiency on categories of CN and NP in this article is based on i

Few studies have examined coping strategies specific to ethnic-racial discrimination among Latino youth.

Data came from four waves of a longitudinal study of 323 Latino adolescents (Wave 1 Mage = 15.31 years, SD = .76; 49.5% female). Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis suggested a factor structure that included a three-item latent factor and two manifest variables. Analyses suggest

Abstract:

To promote breast and cervical screening among Vietnamese women, a neighborhood-based intervention was developed that included small-group education, distribution of Vietnamese-language educational materials, and health fairs. The rationale for these modes of intervention is described. A pretest/posttest controlled trial is used to evaluate the intervention. San Francisco, California, is the experimental community; Sacramento, California, is the comparison community. The study hypothesizes that postintervention measurements of screening rates will reflect significantly greater increases among

Introduction: The dynamic development of society affects the health of the population. We often address civilization-related diseases affecting increasingly younger people. The lack of both a balanced diet and physical activity leads to hypertension and obesity. These diseases have a number of serious consequences. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the influence of an educational programme on the arterial pressure and body weight status of children between 10 and 12 years of age.

Abstract:

In this paper, the importance of implementing good acoustic conditions in classrooms using sound amplification systems is investigated to support more effective English education for elementary school children. To date, the failure of educating English as a second language at Japanese schools has been demonstrated by poor English conversation ability of those who completed a compulsory six-year English language course at Japanese junior-high and high schools (age 12–18). To amend the situation, teaching English became compulsory at grade three (age 8–9) and above at most Japanese elementary sc
