Selected Topics in Psychometrics

This document contains teaching materials that have been developed as part of the set of didactic resources and learning activities employed in Psychometrics, a nine-credit compulsory subject taught in the second year of the Psychology degree at the University of Valencia. Although we already use an extensive set of classroom materials –in the form of detailed PowerPoint-like presentations developed in the past five years of teaching in English in the ‘Academic High Performance’ group of the Psychology degree– in this document I provide more detailed explanations for a selection of topics that usually require more thorough treatment. Examining several of the more sensitive points in psychological measurement (epistemological bases, Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory), these ancillary notes are intended to contribute to resolving some of the most frequently asked questions and encourage critical thinking by suggesting new issues and inquiries.
