WORKSHOP BACKGROUND
A prerequisite to follow the content of the ML-SEM part of the second module is the solid knowledge of MLM. The workshop will be conducted virtually by the IEA experts. See below for the registration details.
At this workshop participants will be introduced to the theory and application of SEM techniques, considering in particular features specific to large-scale assessment data. The workshop on the SEM module builds upon the knowledge from the MLM module presenting how to combine these two techniques in one joint multilevel structural equation model (ML-SEM) approach. Through hands-on-trainings, participants will gain practical experience in applying MLM, SEM, and ML-SEM to large-scale assessment data using Mplus. The workshop module will be delivered in the virtual format. The workshop language is English.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
To enhance participants’ experiences, the workshop program will accommodate an insightful roundtable discussion on ‘Latent Modeling in ILSA: Experiences, Challenges and Solutions’ by the educational experts Dr Hynek Cígler (Masaryk university, Faculty of Social Studies. Department of Psychology) and Eugenio Gonzalez, PhD (Educational Testing Service, ETS).
