SUMMARY:Visiting Scholar, Dr. Rob Cavanagh:  Measures with Meaning in the Human Sciences
DESCRIPTION:
 Visiting Scholar Rob Cavanagh, PhD is a Professor 
 and Director of Research in the School of 
  Education at Curtin University.  He works with 
 advanced degree students in the design and 
 reporting of their thesis work. Rob is passionate 
 about well-being  metrics-the measurement 
 of attributes of persons and phenomena in 
 the human sciences that contribute to individual 
 and collective well-being. He believes that 
 in education, too much attention is given 
 to what is readily available and easily quantified 
 such as economic and psychometric data. 
 This is in contrast to constructing new measures 
 to learn more about learning, teaching 
 and other interpersonal activities.\n
 \n
 Workshop, 
 intended for doctoral students and interested 
 faculty, will cover theoretical and practical 
 issues that arise in the measurement of 
 human abilities and attributes. \n
