And the present conference proceeding is done ad hoc for the researches, Ph.D. supervisors, educators, practitioners, and younger generation who seek to use the Rasch Model in their research activities in Pacific Rim countries, regions, and beyond. More than half a century has passed since the Danish mathematician Georg Rasch (1901–1981) published his “Probabilistic Model for Intelligence and Attainment Tests” (Rasch 1960). With this departure, the model has been finding a wide application in measuring variables ranging from business, counseling, economics, education, health care, language testing, measurement, psychology, quality assurance, statistics to strategic planning field and has been extended from the initial application to dichotomous data type to the polytomous ones. Today, the model is held as “Rasch Model” among measurement professionals and believed to
