Medical & Bioscience Education Seminar Series
April 17th from 12:00pm - 1:00pm via Zoom
The Use of Psychometrics to Enhance Biosciences Education Research
Psychometrics is an incredibly useful toolbox for medical and biosciences education researchers to have access to if when their work involves understanding psychological outcomes (e.g., depression, subjective well-being, etc). In this talk, I will cover a variety of key ideas in psychometrics (e.g., reliability, validity, fairness) that are critical components of effective study of psychological outcomes. Along the way, I will discuss aspects of item response theory (IRT) and how it can be an effective means of working with psychometric data.
