jMetrik is a free and open source software application for psychometrics. It features a user friendly interface, an integrated database, and methods for applying classical and modern psychometrics. The purpose of the short course is to familiarize participants with jMetrik and its use in scale development and applied testing programs. All relevant measurement theory will be covered in the short course with emphasis on its implementation in jMetrik. At the end of the short course, participants will be proficient in using jMetrik to analyze test data.
The short course will be conducted by Patrick Meyer, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia and developer of jMetrik.
