Multidimensional Scaling of Concept Learning in an Introductory Course

Wainer, Howard; Kaye, Kenneth

Journal of Educational Psychology, 66, 4, 591-8, Aug 74

The criterion measure used was the instructor's position in the subject space. Implications of this methodology for educational evaluation are discussed. (Author/SE)
