Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, 2017
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) mathematics items measure critical thinking, mathematical reasoning, and the ability to apply skills and knowledge to real-world problems. Students are asked to solve problems involving the key knowledge and skills for their grade level as identified by the Common Core…

Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, 2017
This Framework builds upon the foundation of the 2010 Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics as well as versions of the Massachusetts Mathematics Framework published since 1995. The current Framework incorporates improvements suggested by Massachusetts educators after six years of experience in implementing the 2010 standards in their…

Gavanasen, Varut; Hussain, S. Tariq – Environmental Protection, 1993
Reviews the different types of models that can be used in groundwater modeling. Discusses the flow and contaminant transport models in the saturated zone, flow and contaminant transport in variably saturated flow regime, vapor transport, biotransformation models, multiphase models, optimization algorithms, and potentials pitfalls of using these…

Frederick, Brigitte N. – 1999
Most researchers using analysis of variance (ANOVA) use a fixed-effects model. However, a random- or mixed-effects model may be a more appropriate fit for many research designs. One benefit of the random- and mixed-effects models is that they yield more generalizable results. This paper focuses on the similarities and differences between the…

Cook, Ronald J. – Momentum, 1985
Proposes a model to help Catholic school budget planners understand a series of significant factors which can predict enrollment and stabilize the budget process. Details the reliability of the model through eight successive years of testing at Bishop Foley High School in Detroit. (CBC)

Baker, Frank B. – 2001
This book is combined with a Web site to allow the reader to acquire the basic concepts of item response theory without becoming enmeshed in the underlying mathematical and computational complexities. The first edition, with its accompanying software, was designed to give the reader access to the basic concepts of item response theory without…

Ryan, Joseph P. – New Directions for Testing and Measurement, 1983
One of the major theoretical and practical developments in testing is latent trait analysis and item response theory. This report provides a guide for practitioners in understanding, evaluating, and using these developments to meet their testing needs. (Author)
Descriptors: Guidelines, Latent Trait Theory, Mathematical Models, Measurement Techniques
Hopkins, David S. P.; Massy, William F. – 1981
Drawing on the authors' extensive experience at Stanford University as well as the work of others, this book offers the first systematic approach to fiscal and human resource planning at colleges and universities. It shows how decision models can and should become an integral part of the planning process. The uses and misuses of planning models in…

Brandenburg, Richard K.; Simpson, William A. – Association for Institutional Research, 1984
The use of computational diagrams and nomographs for the calculations that frequently occur in college administration is examined. Steps in constructing a nomograph and a four-dimensional computational diagram are detailed, and uses of three- and four-dimensional diagrams are covered. Diagrams and nomographs are useful in the following cases: (1)…

Cook, Linda L.; Eignor, Daniel R. – 1981
The purposes of this paper are five-fold to discuss: (1) when item response theory (IRT) equating methods should provide better results than traditional methods; (2) which IRT model, the three-parameter logistic or the one-parameter logistic (Rasch), is the most reasonable to use; (3) what unique contributions IRT methods can offer the equating…

Bryk, Anthony; Woods, Elinor – 1980
This resource book examines the value-added model approach when used in assessing early childhood Title I (ECT-I) programs. The evaluation design must be able to separate program effects from natural maturation. The basic idea behind the value-added model builds on the notion of natural maturation. The major strengths are that it does not require…

Busk, Patricia L.; Marascuilo, Leonard A. – Australian Journal of Education, 1989
An extension of the discussion of loglinear models presents post hoc procedures for statistically evaluating treatment effects, contrasts, and confidence intervals, illustrating methods for main effect and interaction contrasts and paying special attention to odds ratios and their interval estimates. Procedures for treating variables as…

Noonan, Richard; Wold, Herman – Evaluation in Education: An International Review Series, 1983
Tries to develop a method for empirical evaluations of the impact of a school system on measurable cognitive and affective outcomes in students. Concentrates on the Partial Least Squares (PLS) methodology, and illustrates the potential of PLS for system analysis. (BW)
