An Investigation of the Alignment Method With Polytomous Indicators Under Conditions of Partial Measurement Invariance

The alignment method (Asparouhov & Muthén, 2014) is an alternative to multiple-group factor analysis for estimating measurement models and testing for measurement invariance across groups. Simulation studies evaluating the performance of the alignment for estimating measurement models across groups show promising results for continuous indicators. This simulation study builds on previous research by investigating the performance of the alignment method’s measurement models estimates with polytomous indicators under conditions of systematically increasing, partial measurement invariance. We also present an evaluation of the testing procedure, which has not been the focus of previous simulation studies. Results indicate that the alignment adequately recovers parameter estimates under small and moderate amounts of noninvariance, with issues only arising in extreme conditions. In addition, the statistical tests of invariance were fairly conservative, and had less power for items with more extreme skew. We include recommendations for using the alignment method based on these results.     

应用发光细菌进行水质监测的初步研究

用青海弧菌(Vibro qinghaiensis)67号菌株作为指示生物,以其发光强度为指标来进行水质监测和评价,继而确定污水的污染程度。试验表明:用适当的缓冲液,在合适的pH和菌液浓度下,细菌的发光强度与污水的污染程度呈负相关性。

From reform to reform: how school reforms are motivated and interrupted – the case of ‘school inspections’ in Germany

ABSTRACT

In this article, we analyse the implementation and change of a specific school reform in Germany using the example of external school evaluation in Lower Saxony: the school inspection. We investigate how and why a newly implemented reform is itself subject to reform shortly afterwards. We begin with a historical background of German school reforms over the last 40 years. Then, we consider school reforms through the lens of organisational theory. Finally, we combine the historical and theoretical perspectives on school reforms placing particular emphasis on more recent developments in external school evaluation. Based on these considerations, we elaborate some theses on reform and routine in schools.     

The performative shift: middle leadership ‘in the line of fire’

ABSTRACT

State school inspection in Norway is currently changing with targeted schools becoming subject to more complex methods of inquiry. Not only school principals but middle leaders are exposed to this shifting system, for the latter are in the frontline of their schools’ everyday practices. The article examines how state school inspection is used as means of controlling legal compliance, as well as evaluating the formative assessment routines and practices of schools, middle leaders, and individual teachers. Drawing on the concepts of accountability and performativity, field observations of inspectors interrogating department heads in primary education are analysed. The empirical study demonstrates how use of standardised rubrics steer the inspection process in schools, aiming more towards completing on task, rather than supporting middle leaders in their struggle to comply with legal standards. During such interrogation, the department heads comply with the system, and are at the same time open towards the inspectors’ questioning concerning the school’s lack of fully implemented routines.     

听写测试的试验评分法--"部分得分评分制"及初步实验

TEM4听写采用的是较传统的数错扣分法。数错扣分法是负分法，其中存在一些问题。因此我们提出一种实验性的评分方法——部分得分制。实验数据有两组，分别采用TEM4听写评分制和新评分制。数据比较以及部分得分模型(Rasch模型之一)对实验量表效能的分析(如模型与数据拟合值、被试拟合值、信息函数等)说明，实验评分制能较好地测量大多数学生的听写水平。
