Standard error of measurement

Definitions:-
1- “In test theory, the standard error of measurement is the standard deviation of observed test scores for a given true score.”
2- “The standard error of measurement (SEM) is a statistical phenomenon and is unrelated to the accuracy of scoring.”
3- “The standard error (SE) is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic.”
4- “An estimate of how often a researcher can expect errors of a given size on an instrument.”
Explanation:-
¢  It is usually estimated with the following formula in which ‘s’ is the standard deviation of the test scores and ‘r’ is the reliability of the test.
¢  S measurement = S √ 1_r.
¢  All test results, including scores on tests and quizzes designed by classroom teachers, are subject to the standard error of measurement.
¢  The term may also be used to refer to an estimate of that standard deviation, derived from a particular sample used to compute the estimate.
¢  For example, the sample mean is the usual estimator of a population mean.
¢  The SEM is in standard deviation units and can be related to the normal curve.
¢  SEM is a related to reliability.
¢  As the reliability increases, the SEM decreases.

Computer stored information digitally; information transmitted over telephone lines in the form of analog waves. A modem converts between these two forms. A modem can be either internal or external. The internal modem is attached to a slot on the motherboard. The external modem can be placed anywhere outside the system unit and connected to the ...

Approaches of comparative education

  Apollo (1986) identified eight approaches to the study of Comparative Education. They are: 1. Problem Approach or Thematic approach 2. Case study approach 3. Area study approach 4. Historical approach 5. Descriptive approach  6. Philosophical approach  7. International approach and 8.  Gastronomic approach 1. Problem approach or thematic approach —   In this approach the investigator will first of all identify a particular educational problem in his own country. Then, he will begin to look for another country that has the same problem . —   The researcher will also study the education problem of another country in relation to their culture. The researcher will not only study the educational problem of another country but he will also examine the solution applied to such problem by the affected country . 2. Case study approach   —   In this approach, an education comparativist from Nigeria can go to Iraq to study the...
