Eric.ed.gov – Measuring Math Growth: Implications for Progress Monitoring. Research Brief 5

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Achievement growth in math is often framed in the context of monitoring student progress within a Response to Intervention (RTI) approach to teaching and learning. In this research brief we report on a study that examined initial status and within-year growth for fourth grade students who received short progress-monitoring assessments in math during the 2011-2012 school year. Our results suggested that while growth in math was statistically observable and linear, given the amount of growth relative to the 16-point scale of the progress-monitoring probes used, it might have limited utility to teachers operating within an RTI framework. Additional research on within-year growth in math is suggested, especially as it relates to the influence of assessment design and instructional practices on such growth. Link til kilde

Abstract In this case study, we demonstrate the use of multilevel process monitoring in quality control. Using high school data, we answer three research questions related to high school student progress during an academic year. The questions are (1) What determines student performance? (2) How can statistical process monitoring be used in monitoring student progress? (3) What method can be used for predictive monitoring of student results? To answer these questions, we worked together with a Dutch high school… Continue Reading
