This paper is a collaboration of student-lead research projects applying the Rasch measurement model with Winsteps software. Various applications, including higher education, educational psychology and counseling, demonstrate the theoretical framework, methodological process and results utilizing Rating Scale and Assessment formats. The basics of Rasch measurement are overviewed [including a comparison to Classical Test Theory], followed by specific applications, including background, specific methods, and a discussion of the results and educational contributions. In addition, sample code is presented so that the examples can be modeled by the readers. The paper demonstrates the strengths of applying Rasch measurement across various fields and will provide a foundation for others to utilize the model as a methodological tool.
