The seminar centers on latent variables as an overarching perspective to understand psychometric concepts, principles, and techniques. The video recordings will be made available within 24 hours of each session and will be accessible for four weeks after the seminar, meaning that you will get all of the class content and discussions even if you cannot participate synchronously.Ĭlosed captioning is available for all live and recorded sessions. If you prefer, you may take all or part of the course asynchronously. *We understand that scheduling is difficult during this unpredictable time. Each session will include hands-on exercises reviewing the content covered. You are encouraged to join the lecture live, but will have the opportunity to view the recorded session later in the day if you are unable to attend at the scheduled time.

Each day will consist of a live lecture held via the free video-conferencing software Zoom. Starting November 18, we are offering this seminar as a 3-day synchronous*, remote workshop for the first time. These techniques provide a powerful way to identify and remediate bias in measurement, as well as to make equity-informed claims in the language of psychometrics. This seminar emphasizes the conceptual understanding and application of psychometric principles. These include scientific advances (e.g., can I make a claim that I am measuring what I purport to measure?), educational placement decisions (e.g., should a child be placed into a gifted program?), statistical power (e.g., is my measure precise enough to suggest that X predicts Y?), and other key considerations. The theoretically-informed and precise measurement of such latent phenomena is an essential component of many of the things we hold dear. These attributes include abilities, aptitudes, achievement, attitudes, interests, personality traits, cognitive functioning, and mental health. Psychometrics is the science of how we measure the psychological attributes of people. To see a sample of the course materials, click here.
