Jago, Carol – National Assessment Governing Board, 2009
National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) frameworks describe the content and skills measured on NAEP assessments as well as the design of the assessment. They provide both the "what" and the "how" for national assessment. Representing the best thinking of thousands of educators, experts, parents, and policymakers,…

Boardman, Anthony E.; And Others – 1973
This paper has two main purposes. First, it examines verbal, nonverbal, reading, mathematical, and general informational achievement. Second, it estimates the achievement equations of a simultaneous equations model of the educational process. The report, "Equality of Educational Opportunity," (EEOR) acted as a watershed for research into…

Bast, Janwillem; Reitsma, Pieter – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1997
Two competing longitudinal models, the latent growth curve model and the Simplex model, are used to represent the Matthew effect hypothesis (K. Stanovich, 1986) that the gap between good and poor readers increases with time. Theoretical and empirical arguments support the Simplex model, although it is argued that it should be refined and…

Costello, Ronald W.; Shuey, Barbara – Online Submission, 2005
The Archdiocese of Indianapolis has been using the Sander's value-added model to determine if they have had gains in student achievement in language arts, mathematics and reading. The article summarizes the method to make this determination and the results from three years of testing using the CTB McGraw-Hill Terre Nova test. The archdiocese has…

Zwick, Rebecca – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1987
National Assessment of Educational Progress reading data were scaled using a unidimensional item response theory model. Bock's full-information factor analysis and Rosenbaum's test of unidimensionality were applied. Conclusions about unidimensionality for balanced incomplete block spiralled data were the same as for complete data. (Author/GDC)

Ramey, Madelaine; And Others – 1982
To validate a proposed statistical index of instructional effectiveness, researchers identified 33 school characteristics related to instructional effectiveness and tested the relationship between these characteristics and the proposed index. The index includes two subject area indices, mathematics and reading, and is based on statistical…

Sorensen, Aage B.; Hallinan, Maureen T. – American Educational Research Journal, 1986
This paper applies a theory of growth in academic achievement to the study of the effects of ability grouping on reading achievement. The theory sees students' ability and effort determining how they utilize opportunities for learning provided by instruction. (Author/JAZ)

Mandeville, Garrett K. – 1978
The RMC Research Corporation evaluation model C1--the special regression model (SRM)--was evaluated through a series of computer simulations and compared with an alternative model, the norm referenced model (NRM). Using local data and national norm data to determine reasonable values for sample size and pretest posttest correlation parameters, the…

Williamson, Gary L.; And Others – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1991
Longitudinal analyses of individual growth curves and the aggregation of individual curves to describe institutional growth were studied using achievement scores from students moving from grade one to grade eight and their ability scores for one year. Complete data for 529 individuals (reading) and 527 individuals (mathematics) were used. (SLD)

Guida, Frank; And Others – 1983
Considerable research has been conducted on the effect of anxiety on academic achievement. The most consistent finding is that high anxiety is associated with low performance, particularly at the elementary school level. To explain this situation, some researchers have hypothesized that anxiety debilitates students' attention span or time-on-task…

Hendrickson, Les – 1981
The study of the same people at several occasions is known by various names: panel studies, multi-wave, multi-variable models, cohort analysis, and gain score analysis. The use of econometric concepts, path analysis, and structural equation analysis to study multi-wave, multi-variable models became widespread in methodological practice in the late…

Zwick, Rebecca – 1986
Reading test data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) were scaled using the unidimensional item response theory model. Data were collected for students aged 9, 13, and 17. To determine whether the responses to the reading items were consistent with unidimensionality, four different methods were applied: (1) principal…

Deck, Dennis D. – 1980
The feasibility of constructing composite scores which will yield pretest measures having all the properties required by the special regression model is explored as an alternative to the single pretest score usually used in student selection for Elementary Secondary Education Act Title I compensatory education programs. Reading data, including…

Goldstein, Harvey – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
Two techniques for measuring relative changes in educational attainment over time are described. One standardizes measurements at each time or occasion and then studies changes in standardized group differences. The other is based on the use of longitudinal data using conditional models to make inferences about changes between groups. (Author/PN)

Davey, Beth; Macready, George B. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1990
The usefulness of latent class modeling in addressing several measurement issues is demonstrated via a study of 74 good and 74 poor readers in grades 5 and 6. Procedures were particularly useful for assessing the hierarchical relation among skills and for exploring issues related to item domains. (SLD)
