Measurement: Standard Units

86.3K
Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

A physical quantity is defined either by specifying its measurement method or by stating how it is calculated from other measurements. For example, consider a metallic cube. We might define its mass and dimensions by specifying methods for measuring them, such as using a weighing machine and a meter scale. Then, we could define the volume by stating that it is the cube of its side, and we could calculate the density as the mass divided by the volume.

International System of Units

The International System of Units, known as the SI system, is a universally accepted measurement system recognized and used worldwide. The SI system is based on a set of three base units considered absolute, and their values do not change with location. These base units are meters, kilograms, and seconds.
Prefixes are used to define both larger and smaller quantities in the SI system. For example, milli, micro, and nano define smaller quantities, while kilo, mega, and giga are used to define...

Measurement is an indispensable part of analytical chemistry. The result of measurement helps quantify a substance's physical property and compare it with the physical property of another substance. Each measurement comprises two components - a number indicating the magnitude and a unit of measurement as a standard for comparison. Further, the same quantity can be measured using different units of measurement, which leads to differences in magnitude.
A standard set of units has been defined...

Measures of Intelligence01:29

Measures of Intelligence

10.0K
Psychologists measure intelligence by using standardized tests that produce a score known as the intelligence quotient or IQ. To understand IQ tests, it's important to recognize the key principles behind their construction: validity, reliability, and standardization.
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this;...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Measurement
  • International Comparative Studies
  • Educational Policy

Background:

  • State performance standards require international benchmarking for competitiveness.
  • Existing state assessments lack direct international comparability.
  • The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) offers a global benchmark.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a methodology for using PISA to benchmark state performance standards.
  • To facilitate international comparison of educational achievement.
  • To inform state standard-setting processes for global competitiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Embedding PISA items within state assessments for calibration.
  • Linking state assessment scales to the PISA international scale via common item calibration.
  • Utilizing statistical linking results in state standard-setting panels.

Main Results:

  • A three-step process was developed and applied to benchmark state standards.
  • The methodology allows for the international comparison of state academic performance.
  • Initial results were obtained for mathematics in Hawaii.

Conclusions:

  • The PISA-based methodology provides a viable approach for international benchmarking of state standards.
  • This process aids states in setting performance standards that align with international expectations.
  • The findings support the use of international assessments for improving national educational goals.
