CLASSICAL TEST THEORY AND ITEM RESPONSE THEORY IN MEASURING VALIDITY OF PEER-GRADING IN MASSIVE OPEN ONLINE COURSES

Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory in Measuring Validity of Peer-Grading in Massive Open Online Courses

The article presents the results of research on validity of peer-review assignments in massive open online courses within the framework of classical test Tea theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT).CTT-based analysis yielded data on convergent validity of the peer-review assignment, the low level of its criterion validity, and rater disagreemen

Considerations on extinct species of Brazilian flora

AbstractExtinction risk assessments are important tools for plant conservation.However, misinterpretations can lead to negative consequences for survival of species.Inconsistent categorization as extinction, when the species is still extant, constitutes a Romeo error, and annuls all and any mechanism of existing legal protection.But precisely deter

Numerical Simulation of Plasma Spraying Performance Index

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in plasma jet metal-chastity numerical simulation.Speed and temperature propagation in axial and radial direction in plasma jet significantly influences on speed and temperature of sprayed material and therefore on coating quality.However, there are few studies concerning plasma jet numerical s
