Data analysis in Generalizability Theory: An Application of Online R Complier
Main Article Content
Abstract
Generalizability Theory, also known as G-Theory, is a theory used to analyze the reliability of measurement results in various measurement scenarios. It aims to assess the trustworthiness of measurement outcomes when using instruments to evaluate their reliability. The theory can determine the reliability of measurement results in two ways: the relative trustworthiness of scores for making comparative interpretations among individuals, and the absolute trustworthiness of scores by comparing them against standard criteria through G-Study and D-Study. Typically, the analysis is performed offline using specialized
software installed on a computer. Therefore, this article presents an online analysis approach using the Posit Cloud application, an online R compiler. It covers the basics of analysis commands and guidelines for reporting analysis results, which can be helpful for analyzing educational measurement and evaluation outcomes, assessing performance skills, or other related assessments.
