As early as in 1980s, the ideas and concepts regarding IRT was first introduced into China by Prof. Shichun Gui, and it is Prof. Gui who first conducted with great success the ten-year long (1990-1999) Equating Project for Matriculation English Test (MET) in China. MET is the most influential entrance examination for higher education administered annually to over 3.3 million candidates then. The Equating Project won recognition by Charles Alderson and other foreign counterparts during 1990s. Academically, those were Good Old Days for Chinese testing experts and psychometricians. Then for certain reasons, the equating practice abruptly discontinued. Therefore, in China nowadays, the application of IRT-based software like BILOG, Parscale, Iteman 4 and others to real testing problem solving is confined to an extremely small 'band' of people. In this sense, PROMS2012 meets an important need in that it provides an excellent introduction of IRT and its application. And anyone who is seriously interested in research and development in the field of psychometrics or language testing will find such a symposium to be an excellent source of information about the application of Rasch Model. PROMS2012 focuses on recent advances in objective measurement and provides an international forum on both the latest research in using Rasch measurement and non-Rasch practice. 606 $aEducation 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aEducation 606 $aLinguistics 615 0$aEducation. 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 14$aEducation. 615 24$aLinguistics. 676 $a371.2620951 701 $aZhang$b Quan$01756090 701 $aYang$b Hong$0653659 712 02$aWai yu jiao xue yu yan jiu chu ban she. 712 02$aGao deng jiao yu chu ban she. 712 02$aEducational Testing Service. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739473003321 996 $aPacific Rim Objective Measurement Symposium (PROMS) 2012 Conference Proceeding$94193185 997 $aUNINA
