Please vote for your choice of candidate for SIG Chair. The candidate for SIG Secretary is unopposed. Their 2 year terms begin at the AERA Meeting in April 2002.
For SIG Chair
Trevor Bond:
He is a senior staff member of the School of Education at James
Cook University in Australia and is internationally known for his
work on the application of Rasch analysis to developmental
variables and educational outcomes. He undertook (with John King)
the first state-wide survey of client satisfaction with public
education for Education Queensland (1997/98) using Rasch
measurement principles. Trevor's current book (co-authored with
Christine Fox), Applying the Rasch model: Fundamental
measurement in the human sciences, reflects his longstanding
experience in educational settings as the background for applying
fundamental measurement to outcomes in the human sciences. He is
currently developing Rasch-based procedures for systematically
collecting and analyzing student feedback about teaching and
subjects at his university. He is a regular presenter on topics of
educational and developmental measurement in the U.S., in
particular. He regularly supports Rasch SIG presentations and has
organized many Rasch based symposia for other AERA divisions and
the Jean Piaget Society. Trevor actively supports newcomers to
Rasch measurement.
Randall E. Schumacker
He is Professor of Educational Research at the University of North
Texas and Adjunct Professor of Medical Education at the University
of North Texas Health Science Center. You will find an interesting
presentation on Rasch Models on his homepage. Randall has published
various articles on Rasch measurement including Rasch quick norms;
test equating; Rasch fit statistics; and many-Facets analysis. He
completed a sabbatical at the University of Chicago in 1998,
participated in several Rasch symposiums at AERA, and is currently
finishing a chapter in an upcoming Rasch Measurement Book. He was
the Founder, Editor (1994-1998), and current Emeritus Editor of
Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal.
He also founded the AERA Structural Equation Modeling Special
Interest Group.
For SIG Secretary
Edward W. Wolfe:
He is an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University teaching
Measurement and Quantitative in the College of Education. His
research focuses on cognitively-diagnostic assessment - an
integration of cognitive science and latent trait models.
Specifically, he examines the implications of departures from
latent trait models (e.g., misfit and multidimensionality) and
invariance of parameter estimates across subgroups (e.g.,
differential item functioning) for modeling cognitive states.
Examples include the measurement of multidimensional change in
individuals over time, identifying causes of differential cross-
medium performance on traditional and computer-based tests,
diagnosing rater effects in performance assessments, and explaining
the cognitive demands of performance assessments. He is also
interested in applications of Rasch polytomous, multivariate, and
multidimensional item response models and the influence of
computer-based testing on examinee performance. He has examined
problems pertaining to barriers to the implementation of portfolios
in secondary classrooms.
