A RATING SCALE ANALYSIS OF FEATURES FOR MULTIMEDIA COURSEWARE

Abstract

There is an effort also in pedagogy to conclude on basis of measured values. Usually the objects of a measurement are people, the instruments of the observations are items which work together to define a variable. The probabilistic measurement models estimate the position of both people and items on the line of the variable in the same way. So these models are suited for sorting items, too. According to this feature of these models, if the items concern courseware´s characteristics, the estimated positions of them along the scale may consider also the sequence of the characteristics. In accordance with the thoughts above this study presents an attempt at developing an `instrument´ which examines the features of multimedia courseware.
