Rasch Measurement in Higher Education

Measurement is implicit in any search for knowledge. The discovery, invention and construction of scientific knowledge begins with wild hypotheses which get thought into reproducible ideas, which then become realized in observable instances, to be interpreted as concrete ordinals, which are carefully built into abstract linear measures suitable, finally, for analyses in relation to other measures and so to the construction of promising theories ( Wright, 1997).
