We developed equivalent, alternate forms of easyCBM[R] in reading (n=20 forms) and mathematics (n=13 forms) with different skills reflective of the National Reading Panel (NRP) and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), respectively. We then took three forms to use as screening measures in the fall, winter, and spring so educators…

A pamphlet on how to make use of the results of the Illinois Statewide High School Testing Program in an individual school is presented. The 1973-74 testing program includes tests of academic aptitude, reading comprehension and knowledge, communication skills, and mathematical skills. The program reports contain the raw scores of the students in…

The last in a series of eight reports on mental retardation in a Canadian province presented statistical data on raw scores for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), the Vineland Social Maturity Scale (SMS), and the Draw-A-Person (DAP) test by age/sex categories as administered for the study. Isolation of subsamples of the mentally…

Fifteen descriptive statistics were computed for 345 instructor made multiple-choice optically scanned tests for the purpose of evaluating the quality of classroom test at the university level as well as the appropriateness of the evaluating statistics. The description and analysis of the average test represented a realistic lower bound of…

With no previous training in data processing, a teacher can set up a computer scoring program for objective test materials that will save many hours of manual work in test correction, scoring, ranking, and item analysis. Teachers, school administrators, and counselors can employ statistical information contained in computer printout sheets to plan…

Reported are four studies resulting from achievement testing activities from 1971 to 1973 with approximately 17,000 hearing impaired students from under 6 to over 21 years of age. The first study reports the relationships between selected achievement test scores (Paragraph Meaning and Arithmetic Computation subtests) and the following variables:…

This is one of three volumes presenting the procedures and results of a research effort investigating the effects upon student outcomes of training teachers to implement individual study and self-directed study in their classrooms. In this volume correlation matrices drawn from tests of student variables and achievement are presented. Item…

Item analysis was made of results of a national achievement testing program of nearly 19,000 primary and secondary school hearing impaired students enrolled in special educational programs in the Spring of 1971. Testing instrument was the Stanford Achievement Test Series (Form W). Individual test items or descriptions of the academic information…

This book is designated for an audience of the practitioners of education, especially those located in elementary schools. It is designed to investigate and explain research methods, terms, and concepts so that the reader can narrow down the many ways things are known or said to be known. Included in this book are chapters on the research process…

This monograph is a comprehensive presentation and discussion of the 1972-73 National Assessment mathematics data. It is a report from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Project for Interpretive Reports on National Assessment. The report examines data from four age groups (nine, thirteen, seventeen, and adult) and evaluates…

This study was concerned with determining the validity of the Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) using the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (S-B), Form L-M as the validity criterion. The sample consisted of 724 students enrolled in 10 public school systems in northeastern Massachusetts. Using the Pearson-Product Moment formula a coefficient of…

As a preliminary step in customizing the Stanford Achievement Test, a study was made to compare the test items at each level with the curriculum objectives of a Florida school district, classifying them as either matching, above or below grade level, or unmatching. Results are shown in table form. (TE)
