Using R in Social Work Research: An Item Response Theory Analysis of the School Success Profile Future Orientation Scale
This document is one of a series designed to illustrate how the R statistical computing environment can be used to conduct various types of social work research. In this report, we present an example of using R to conduct an item response theory analysis (IRT) of the Future Orientation Scale (FOS) included in the School Success Profile compendium of scales designed for use by school social workers.
Using R for Social Work Research: Item Response Theory
This document is one of a series designed to illustrate how the R statistical computing environment can be used to conduct various types of social work research. In this report, we present an example of using R to conduct an item response theory analysis (IRT) of the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) included in a compendium of scales designed for use by school social workers.
Using R in Social Work Research: Exploratory Factor Analysis
This document is one of a series designed to illustrate how the R statistical computing environment can be used to conduct various types of social work research. In this report, we present an example of using R to conduct an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of a set of items designed to measure the perceptions of middle and high school students had about their school. The items evolved over a series of middle and high school needs assessment projects and the EFA was designed to assess the extent to which they measured a construct we call called school climate.
