Abstract

Many performance ratings in educational research are of an ordinal nature. Examples include global ratings in clinical examination on a scale like ‘excellent’, ‘pass’, ‘borderline’, and ‘fail’ and overall internship assessments such as ‘good’, ‘sufficient’ or ‘poor’. Both series of categories have in common that categories can be ordered in terms of performance, but the difference between ‘excellent’ and ‘pass’ may not be the same as that between ‘borderline’ and ‘fail’, and the difference between ‘good’ and ‘sufficient’ is not necessarily the same as that between ‘sufficient’ and ‘poor’. These and other examples of multicategory ordinal outcome variables, some of which are observed once in time some of which are observed at several occasions during a longer time interval, are discussed in this chapter, with appropriate analytic methods. Through common statistical concepts, similarities and differences between methods discussed in this chapter and those discussed in Chaps. 5 and 6 are discussed.
