The Illinois Mathematics Assessment Framework is designed to assist educators, test developers, policy makers, and the public by clearly defining those elements of the Illinois Learning Standards that are suitable for state testing. It is not designed to replace a local mathematics curriculum and should not be considered a state mathematics…

The purpose of the 1988-89 Learning Assessment Retention Consortium (LARC) Student Outcomes Study was to describe the goal satisfaction, retention, and skills acquisition of students who were enrolled in remedial or precollege math courses in 23 California community colleges. Three methods of data collection were used: pre- and post-tests to…

The basic rationale for incorporating information about instructional experiences in the design and analysis of assessment data is that student ability, topic exposure, and forms of instructional exposure each contribute to student performance as measured at a given point in time. The purpose of this study is to investigate the degree of…

This issue of "Indicator of the Month" lists percentages of high school graduates taking selected mathematics and science courses in high school in 1982, 1987, 1990, and 1992. Findings include: (1) High school graduates in 1992 were more likely to take mathematics courses at the level of algebra I or higher and most science courses at the level of…

Data from 32 state assessments in mathematics (conducted in 1984 and earlier) are analyzed in this document. The high degree of variability across the states is stressed, with some of the points of variation in the test development, administration, and analysis process noted. Information is then presented on topics on which students are doing well…
