Since COVID-19 pandemic entered Indonesia, mental health experts have also investigated the increase in psychological problems, one of which is anxiety. The fear of being infected or unknowingly infecting other people is a major source of anxiety during COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to describe the differences in early adult anxiety during COVID-19 in terms of gender. This study is a comparative study at the early adult development stage in Indonesia, obtained through random sampling. The sample of this study was 206 people (male = 66; female = 140). The analysis technique used is the Welch Test on the Rasch model with the help of WINSTEPS Version 3.73. The analysis showed that there was no difference in anxiety during COVID-19 between male and female early adulthood. This condition is caused by early adulthood male and female depending on the internet and smartphones to find information when quarantining at home, increasing feelings of anxiety about being infected with COVID-19. The implementation of guidance and counseling is discussed further

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of relaxation music therapy (RMT) to reduce academic anxiety before carrying out the final academic exam. The type of this research is Pre-Experiment with one group pretest-posttest design. The subjects in this study were 51 final year students preparing for their final academic examinations at Universitas Jambi, using purposive sampling. The instrument used was an anxiety scale. Data analysis used nonparametric statistical techniques using the Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test and the Rasch Model. The results show that there is an effect of RMT to reduce academic anxiety of final year students at Universitas Jambi. Furthermore, the ability of students to respond to the pretest was still in anxious condition which resulted in the results of the pretest being still moderate (mean measure = 0.04 logit). In contrast, when RMT has been given treatment, the student's ability to respond to the posttest has become low (mean measure = -0.49 logit). These findings could be used by counselors to reduce academic anxiety of final year students at the University and the implications of guidance and counseling are discussed further.

The Rasch Model

Information about score obtained from a test is often interpreted as an indicator of the student's ability level. This is one of the weaknesses of classical analysis that are unable to provide meaningful and fair information. The acquisition of the same score if it comes from a test item with a different level of difficulty, must show different abilities. Analysis of the Rasch model will overcome this weakness. The purpose of this study was to analyze the quality of the items by validating the national chemistry exam instrument using the Rasch model. The research sample was 212 new students of the Department of Chemistry at the State University of Medan. The data collected was in the form of respondent's answer data to the 2013 chemistry UN questions, which amounted to 40 items multiple choice and uses the documentation method. Data analysis technique used the Rasch Model with Ministep software. The results of the analysis show the quality of the Chemistry National Exam (UN) questions is categorized as very good based on the following aspects: unidimension, item fit test, person map item, difficulty test level, person and item reliability. There is one item found to be gender bias, in which men benefit more than women. The average chemistry ability of respondents is above the average level of difficulty of the test items

Abstract Objective Administrative burden often prevents clinical assessment of balance confidence in people with stroke. A computerized adaptive test (CAT) version of the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC CAT) can dramatically reduce this burden. The objective of this study was to test balance confidence measurement precision and efficiency in people with stroke with an ABC CAT. Methods We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional simulation study with data from 406 adults approximately 2-months post-stroke in the Locomotor-Experience Applied Post-Stroke (LEAPS) trial. Item parameters for CAT calibration were estimated with the Rasch model using a random sample of participants (n = 203). Computer simulation was used with response data from remaining 203 participants to evaluate the ABC CAT algorithm under varying stopping criteria. We compared estimated levels of balance confidence from each simulation to actual levels predicted from the Rasch model (Pearson correlations and mean standard error (SE)). Results Results from simulations with number of items as a stopping criterion strongly correlated with actual ABC scores (full item, r = 1, 12-item, r = 0.994; 8-item, r = 0.98; 4-item, r = 0.929). Mean SE increased with decreasing number of items administered (full item, SE = 0.31; 12-item, SE = 0.33; 8-item, SE = 0.38; 4-item, SE = 0.49). A precision-based stopping rule (mean SE = 0.5) also strongly correlated with actual ABC scores (r = .941) and optimized the relationship between number of items administrated with precision (mean number of items 4.37, range [4–9]). Conclusions An ABC CAT can determine accurate and precise measures of balance confidence in people with stroke with as few as 4 items. Individuals with lower balance confidence may require a greater number of items (up to 9) and attributed to the LEAPS trial excluding more functionally impaired persons. Impact Statement Computerized adaptive testing can drastically reduce the ABC’s test administration time while maintaining accuracy and precision. This should greatly enhance clinical utility, facilitating adoption of clinical practice guidelines in stroke rehabilitation. Lay Summary If you have had a stroke, your physical therapist will likely test your balance confidence. A computerized adaptive test version of the ABC scale can accurately identify balance with as few as 4 questions, which takes much less time.

The Rasch Model

The literature on engineering education research highlights the relevance of evaluating course learning outcomes (CLOs). However, generic and reliable mechanisms for evaluating CLOs remain challenges. The purpose of this project was to accurately assess the efficacy of the learning and teaching techniques through analysing the CLOs’ performance by using an advanced analytical model (i.e., the Rasch model) in the context of engineering and business education. This model produced an association pattern between the students and the overall achieved CLO performance. The sample in this project comprised students who are enrolled in some nominated engineering and business courses over one academic year at Prince Sultan University, Saudi Arabia. This sample considered several types of assessment, such as direct assessments (e.g., quizzes, assignments, projects, and examination) and indirect assessments (e.g., surveys). The current research illustrates that the Rasch model for measurement can categorise grades according to course expectations and standards in a more accurate manner, thus differentiating students by their extent of educational knowledge. The results from this project will guide the educator to track and monitor the CLOs’ performance, which is identified in every course to estimate the students’ knowledge, skills, and competence levels, which will be collected from the predefined sample by the end of each semester. The Rasch measurement model’s proposed approach can adequately assess the learning outcomes.
