“…Mentioned studies confirm the global trend that there is currently a growing number of high-quality ICF-related developments in rehabilitation contexts (26)(27)(28). However, the role of physical activity and sport represents an important variable that seems to play a subordinate role in the current discourse.…”

The implementation of functioning by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the third global health indicator, along with mortality and morbidity, represents a promising advancement for a comprehensive assessment of international health systems and health strategies. The description of a person's health state operationalized by both biological and lived health via functioning provides a holistic picture of an individual's life situation and proved to be successful in building a framework for formulating therapy goals, achievable activities, and participational aspects against the background of an individual's life situation. Furthermore, improving an individual's functional ability and wellbeing could potentially affect the health indicators of morbidity and mortality and will be codable beyond the ICF in ICD-11. This methodological perspective emphasizes the use of ICF applications on the wider and narrower level of international rehabilitation systems and highlights the incorporation of the term functioning in rehabilitation through physical activity and sport. Current research perspectives in applying the ICF and functioning in clinical and rehabilitation practices are discussed and a current explorative study is presented, which applies the holistic orientation of functioning and the biopsychosocial model to the specific case by an individualized sports coaching intervention in rehabilitation. Subsequently, a unifying ICF- oriented language in rehabilitation is considered as a powerful foundation for a consistent international research strategy concerning increased international collaborations and future research perspectives.

“…There are several possibilities to account for LD. In the framework of item banks, one of the items of the locally dependent pair of items either has to be deleted or deleted and reentered by using anchoring [25]. In case of scales, LD can either be resolved by deleting one of the locally dependent items or by creating testlets [26].…”

Background Social attitudes experienced by people with disabilities can strongly impact upon their health and quality of life. The extent to which social attitude measurement transcends specific cultures is unknown. Thus, the aim of the study was to develop German item banks to assess social attitude barriers and facilitators to participation and compare the construct definition with that developed in the United States. Methods The American version of the two item banks assessing social attitudes that act as barriers and facilitators in persons with disabilities was translated into German and culturally adapted. The sample consisted of 410 in- and outpatients treated for spinal diseases at a German University Hospital. The psychometric properties of the resulting 53 items-item pool were evaluated using Rasch analysis. A special focus was placed on the investigation of unidimensionality, local independence, differential item functioning (DIF) and targeting. To evaluate convergent and divergent validity correlations with perceived social support, depression and pain interference were calculated. Results Unlike the American version, both the barriers and facilitators item banks had to be divided into two subscales assessing attitudes that individuals with disabilities experience as being directed towards them (individual perception) or attitudes that respondents experience as being directed towards people with disabilities as a social group (societal perception). Four unidimensional scales were constructed. Fit to the Rasch model required item deletion and forming testlets to account for extensive local dependence. There was no evidence of DIF with regard to gender or age. Targeting of the subscales was moderate to good. Conclusions Results support a distinction between social attitudes at the individual and societal level, allowing a more specific assessment than is possible when this distinction is ignored.

“…For example, Bjorner et al (2017) used the Rasch model to create a pool of high-quality items, with only five items from the pool having a very high concordance with the score based on all items. Kallinger et al (2019) used the same model to calibrate an item bank of anxiety-related questions for orthopedic patients. The item bank serves as the foundation for a computer-adaptive exam that can be used to assess a wide variety of anxiety in orthopedic rehabilitation patients.…”

Rational Numbers is an essential topic in mathematics since it necessitates the learning progression of more advanced topics. Nevertheless, previous literature shows that students are having difficulties in understanding the topic for numerous reasons. The inability of teachers in providing good examples during teaching is identified as one of the major causes. Thus, this study aims to develop a calibrated pool of items to facilitate teachers in giving appropriate examples for the topic of Rational Numbers. We employed a descriptive design to provide descriptions of the item statistics for the calibrated pool of items. Samples of the study consisted of 1,292 secondary school students. We used the Rasch measurement model framework via a quantitative approach to analyse the data. The results showed that all items demonstrated an acceptable quality of measuring students' ability in rational numbers while at the same time demonstrated high evidence of validity and reliability as well. Ultimately, we also provided suggestions on how teachers can use the pool of items in delivering appropriate examples in the classroom.
