Abstract
This article applies the partial credit model to an assessment situation in which items (termed "superitems" by the developers) have been constructed as subtests sharing a particular set of stimulus materials and according to a neo-Piagetian theory of learning (SOLO). Comparison is made with Guttman scaling, a nonprobabilistic approach. The complementary nature of results from a dichotomous Rasch analysis and the polytomous partial-credit analysis is explored.Keywords
