Early Career STEM Ed Folks! Just one week left before applications are due for FREE quant/measurement training and mentoring. Thank you, NSF!
Thanks for posting this! I hadn’t looked at the date. My daughter will be relieved.
And, our Cohort 4 "BCSER NSF Quant Research Methods Winter Institute" is in the books. I loved getting to know this cohort better-and learning about their exciting research questions and methodological queries! Team work! (Application portal for cohort 5 will open in late spring)
And: Radical idea: don’t use “agree” vs “disagree”. What are you trying to measure? Confidence? Satisfaction? Word directly to measure that. Agreement continuum adds a layer of cognitive difficulty.
Thx Beth! Here’s what I responded on X: Dillman has done lots of experiments evaluating such item response options / alternatives. Regarding your original question, if you are developing items for combination into a composite, the goal would be to write all items so that they ARE applicable to all.
FIND THE ERRORS: Did you ever not wonder why neutral is sometimes, often, or rarely used on questionnaire items? Join me to learn about item writing & questionnaire construction! If you've ever said "oh, we'll just create a survey", you should join! umd-cilvr.catalog.instructure.com/courses/ques...
Contact Angie Henneberger at UM Baltimore… (first author). I believe she may have them (in suppression reviewed state).
We recently provided attrition (school mobility) info from Maryland: link.springer.com/content/pdf/.... Can’t help you for NC though.
