Chow, Peter; Winzer, Margret A.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v52 n1 p223-28 Spr 1992
A 25-item Likert-type survey constructed to measure teachers' attitudes toward mainstreaming was analyzed using item response theory (IRT) and confirmatory factor analysis with responses of 917 Canadian teachers. A three-factor model fit the data well. Both factor scores and IRT scores can be used in discriminant analyses. (SLD)
