Because NAEP estimates of state-level achievement play an important role in the evaluation of strategies for improving the nation's educational system, it is important that these estimates have as small a standard error as possible. NAEP estimates for state-level achievement are based on measurement of the performance of a random sample of…

Peer reviewedNeumark, David – Economics of Education Review, 1999
Recent within-twin estimates of schooling returns are considerably higher than existing estimates. This paper shows that small ability differences among twins can yield more upward omitted-ability bias (and more upward bias overall) in the instrumental variables estimate correcting for measurement error than in the standard within-twin estimate.…

Alonzo, Julie; Liu, Kimy; Tindal, Gerald – Behavioral Research and Teaching, 2007
In this technical report, the authors describe the development and piloting of reading comprehension measures as part of a comprehensive progress monitoring literacy assessment system developed in 2006 for use with students in Kindergarten through fifth grade. They begin with a brief overview of the two conceptual frameworks underlying the…

Morrisson, Christian; Murtin, Fabrice – Centre for the Economics of Education (NJ1), 2009
Global economic transformations have never been as dramatic as in the twentieth century. Most countries have experienced radical changes in the standards of income per capita, technology, fertility, mortality, income inequality and the extent of democracy in the course of the past century. It is the goal of many disciplines--economics, history,…

Barron, Sheila I.; Koretz, Daniel M. – 1994
Recent changes in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) that lead to its division into a trend assessment and a main assessment jeopardize the information the NAEP can provide about trends, especially the trends for racial and ethnic groups. This study for the Technical Review Panel addressed whether the trend assessment provides…

Jones, Calvin C.; Spencer, Bruce D. – Office of Educational Research and Improvement, 1986
The first High School and Beyond follow-up survey, conducted in 1982, included sub-samples of 29,737 sophomore cohort and 11,995 senior cohort representatives from the base year survey samples. During the fall of 1982, nearly 18,500 of the sophomore cohort members selected for the first follow-up survey were subsampled for the High School and…

Hedges, Larry V.; Vevea, Jack L. – 1997
This study investigates the amount of uncertainty added to National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) estimates by equating error under both ideal and less than ideal circumstances. Data from past administrations are used to guide simulations of various equating designs and error due to equating is estimated empirically. The design…

Synectics for Management Decisions, Inc., Arlington, VA. – 1994
The 1987-88 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) looked at a national sample of elementary and secondary public and private schools. Components of the SASS, a data collection effort of the National Center for Education Statistics, were surveys of teacher demand and shortage, schools, administrators, and teachers. Approximately 13,000 schools and…

Lee, Guemin; Lewis, Daniel M. – 2001
The Bookmark Standard Setting Procedure (Lewis, Mitzel, and Green, 1996) is an item-response-theory-based standard setting method that has been widely implemented by state testing programs. The primary purposes of this study were to: (1) estimate standard errors for cutscores that result from Bookmark standard settings under a generalizability…

In this technical report, the authors describe the development alternate forms of three types of early literacy measures as part of a comprehensive progress monitoring literacy assessment system developed in 2006 for use with students in Kindergarten through fourth grade. They begin with a brief overview of the two conceptual frameworks underlying…

This technical report provides the results of a study on the calculation and use of generalized variance functions (GVFs) and design effects for the 1990-91 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). The SASS is a periodic integrated system of sample surveys conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) that produces sampling variances…

Henke, Robin R.; And Others – 1996
The National Center for Education Statistics recently released results of the 1993-94 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). SASS, an integrated survey of public and private schools, school districts, principals, and teachers, is the most comprehensive survey of the school work force and teacher supply and demand ever conducted in the United States.…

Atkinson, Leslie – 1990
Three tables are provided to aid in the clinical interpretation of factor scores for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R; 1981). The factor structure of the WAIS-R has proven to be robust across samples, tests, time, statistical analyses, measurement scales, and distortions of the distribution. Information necessary to make…

Lee, Guemin; Fitzpatrick, Anne R.; Ito, Kyoko – 2001
School test performance is commonly summarized in terms of the percentage of students at or above a cut score (PAAC) that has been set on a test. Two approaches to estimating the standard errors for school PAACs were examined in this study: conditional standard errors and overall standard errors. The tests used were English language arts and…

The National Household Education Survey (NHES) is a telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized civilian population of the United States that collects data on educational issues that are best explored through contact with households rather than with institutions. In the 1996 NHES (NHES:96) the topical components of interest were parent and family…
