Diagnosing Incremental Learning: Some Probabilistic Models for Measuring Change and Testing Hypotheses about Growth.

Langeheine, Rolf

Studies in Educational Evaluation, v19 n4 p349-62 1993

How to measure growth in knowledge and ability over time in curriculum research is explored. Two broad classes of probabilistic models are considered, the Rasch model and latent class models with their associated generalizations. Potential of both classes for measuring categorical change is discussed. (SLD)
