“…Third, the Rasch model theoretically assures that the estimate of item difficulty is independent of the sample used for item calibration 28,30,34) , which is supported by the result showing that there was no differential test functioning in the present study. We argue that this is the most important property of an assessment tool in terms of utility because this property enables objective comparison both between indi-…”

Yoshihisa FUJINO, et al.: Development a work functioning impairment scale lation of the estimated Rasch measurements from these groups was 0.99 (95% CI: 0.976−0.992). Conclusions:The WFun was confirmed to show good fit to a Rasch model and construct validity. Given that its good fit indicates specific objectivity, this tool will be useful in assessing the ability of individuals to function at work and in evaluating group levels for benchmarking.

“…One such method is by measuring a person's intelligence, based on the Multiple Intelligence Theory of H. Gardner. In his theory, Gardner states that intelligence can be differentiated into many inter-correlated modalities, rather than one single overlaying construct [19]. These modalities are defined as 9 individually describable and measurable intelligence fields.…”

Measuring and providing efficiency of educational applications is a serious, open problem, which impacts the future of this expanding industry greatly. Reaching player engagement is a complex challenge, as it also depends on the given task and the mental state of the player. Researches answer this by using adaptive educational games. To reach the goal, however, knowledge about more parameters is required about the game tasks, the abilities of the player, his actual physiological state and performance as well. In this paper we present our results, which use a biofeedback based adaptive algorithm, and based on this, an innovative psychometric model to take a step towards maximizing user engagement.

Background: The aim of the present study was to apply item response theory to measure the functional capacity index as an important measure of the component of positive aspects of functionality among elderly people, contributing to the expansion of the use of this tool by creating shorter and more precise scales for analysis of health situations. Methods: Cross-sectional study was performed, and sample consisted of 41,269 elderlies aged 60 or more from the 27 federal units that participated in the National Household Sample Survey, in 2008, in Brazil. The generalized partial credit model was used for the calibration of items. Results: The results of the analysis showed that the functional capacity index was sufficiently unidimensional for item response theory and, for greater reliability, the inclusion of more difficult items for elderly Brazilians with better functional capacity would be required. Conclusions: Finally, the present study argues that the functional capacity index can be used as a tool in the analysis and prioritization of health situations.
