A Simulation Study Comparing Procedures for Assessing Individual Educational Growth. Report No. 182.
Richards, James M., Jr. – 1974
A computer simulation procedure was developed to reproduce the overall pattern of results obtained in the Educational Testing Service Growth Study. Then simulated data for seven sets of 10,000 to 15,000 cases were analyzed, and findings compared on the basis of correlations between estimated and true growth scores. Findings showed that growth was…

Arizona Univ., Tucson. Center for Educational Evaluation and Measurement. – 1984
The Head Start Measures Project was a 3-year study to develop a set of measures designed specifically for Head Start children. The measures are based on a path-referenced approach to assessment, in which children's performance is described in terms of their position along paths of development. A path is defined as a sequence of skills within a…

Brennan, Robert L.; Stolurow, Lawrence M. – 1971
A replicable process for improving instruction through the consistent use of student data collected before, during, and after instruction is proposed. A rational analysis of different types of error rates (theoretical, base, posttest, instructional) and discrimination indices (base, posttest) leads to a set of rules for identifying test items and…

Diagnosis of Pupil Achievement in the Individually Prescribed Instruction Project. Working Paper 15.
Cox, Richard C.; Boston, M. Elizabeth – 1967
Diagnostic instruments of the Individually Prescribed Instruction (IPI) Program measure pupil achievement in the IPI learning continuum. The IPI system employs the instructional unit to define progress in mathematics, reading and science. At the start of a school year, placement tests are administered to start the pupil in appropriate learning…
