Measurement Models

Measurement models are frameworks used to quantify and analyze various aspects of knowledge, skills, or tests. They help researchers and educators understand how well a particular assessment or evaluation is measuring what it's intended to measure. Essentially, these models define the relationship between latent traits (like intelligence or like knowledge) and observed indicators (like test scores). By applying statistical techniques, measurement models ensure that results are reliable and valid, providing clearer insights into how individuals excel or where they may need improvement. This process is crucial for improving educational outcomes and making informed decisions based on data.
