EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Annual Test Report, 1979-80 has been developed to be an easy to use

reference on test data for the- Montgomery 'County Public Schools. The reportis divided into two chapters: 11

Analysis of County Data.Analysis of School Dada

Some of the features of the report are:

.o A longit,dinal analysis of pe/Iformance of students tested in MCPS in19.76, 1978, and 1980.

o School results broken out for students tested in a- school more thanonce and for students transferring into and out of the schgol.

o Breakdowns of county test results by racial/ethnic and sex groups.

o College Board results by school.

o A graphic presentation of the range of test performance in eachschool.

County Results

Systemwide Trends

ResIlts for the tests administered systemwide in the 1979-1980 school year cangenerally be characterized as being stable at a nigh level of performance.This was true for scores .on the Iowa Testt of Basic Skills (ITBS), CognitiveAbilities Test (CATS and the Maryland Functional Reading'Test (MFRT).

Grade 7 results on the ITBS and CAT were the most impressive. The majority ofITBS and' CAT subtest median scores for that grade iccrased from 1979. In

Grade 5 this was true for the'ITBS, while the CAT scores were unchanged. In

Grades 3 and 9 the majerrity of ITBS subtests remained the same as in 1979.

The percentage of students demonstrating competency on the MFRT in Grade 7 wasthe same as the previous year. ,None of the increases were significant.

In Grades 3, 5, 7, and 9, the majority of subtestsiwere at all-time high'points for MCPS. Only in Grade 9 were any subtests (four) at all-time lows.,'The percentage of students demonstrating competency on the MFRT was also at anall-time high.

The results from the Grade 11 administration of the Tests of Academic Progress,

(TAP) were also stable with medians on all six subtests being the same as in1978. However, only two °lithe subtest mediAlins were at an all-time high;three were at an all-time low.

414

Across all -five grades, 69 percent of the)students tested' scored at or above

the national normmedian for the Composite. The percentage scorNng this high

ranged from 80' in, Grade 3 to 58 in Grade 9, All countywide, medians on the

CAT, ITBS, and TAP were above the national norm medians.

AsCollege Board Results

Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) average scores for the MCPS class of 1980 were

456 on the Verbal test and 503 on the Math test. The Verbal average Was the

same as the previous year, the Math average was up by three points. These

scores contrast with the national trend which was down three.points orLtheVerbal to 424 and.down one point on the Math to 466. Thus, not only are the

MCPS scores substantially above the national averages, but they are also

counter to the continuing downward trend nationally.

Males outscored females on both SAT. tests: 511 to 478 on the Math and 460 to

452 .on tX Verbal. These differences wire similar to those on the national

level.

-----\__/

)MCPS, mean scores increased on 8 of the 12 College Board a hLevement tests from

' 1979 to 19&0. 05 la of these 12 tests, the MCPS mean was' higher than the

national mean, Only in Spanish and German was the mean scorc below the

national score. It 'should be noted that the number.of students taking these

tests was small, usually less tl;ian ten percent of the graduating class. Thus,

these scores probably cannot be considered representative of the performancedf the entire class.

Scores on the Advanced Placement Examinations declined slightly from 1979 to1980. In the latter year, 45 percent of the students tested received a scoreof at least four on this five -point scale. This is compared to.49percent in

1979. This change might have been related to the fact that 22 percent more

students took these tests in 1980. As with the achievement tests, these

examinations are taken by a small portion of vie graduating class.

Racial/Ethnic Score Differences

From 1977 to 1980 ITBS: TAP, and CAT mean scores for white and black students

have generally increased by small amounts 'across all grades .tested. The.

results for Asians and Hispanics were mixed with increases in some grades and

decreases in others. Scores for Asians _tended to increase at the elementary

level, with Grade 3 females showing the largest increase. A re decrease

for Grade 9 Asian students was mostly the result of male scores eclining. A

decline for third grade Hispanics was caused by lower scores for females in

1980 than in 1979.

Average score differences between black and white students ha#e decreased at a

._./.\ low but steady rate between 1977 and 7190, but white students still scored

significantly higher.

2Hispanic/white score differences increased in Grades 3, 5, and 7, decreased in

Grade 9, and remained the same in Grade 11. The increasing differences in

Grades 3 and 5 are the reverse of the patterns from 1977 to 1979. This indi-

cates that these increases are attributable to increases between 1979 and 1980,

not to constant change in.one direction over several years. White students

scored significantly higher than Hispanic students in both 1977 and 1980.

AsianPstudents-wenerally scored hig er th' white students. The exceptions Lo

4111t

this were in lahguage-related subte s,in e ementary grades.

On the MFRT, performance improved for all three minority grodps and remainedconstant for white students in Grade 7. Hispanic students had the largestincrease as 87 percent passed,the test. APois was a six percent increase from1978. Asian and black students each had a three percent, increase to 94 and 74percent, respectively. Ninety-two percent of the white students passed.

Score Differences by Sex

Test scores for both males and. females generally improved from 1978 to 1980 onthe ITBS, CAT, and TAP. Females scored higher in 1980 on the Composite in

Grades 3, 5, 7, and 9i, males scored higher in, Grade 11. Tne largest differ-ence between tnose groups on the Composite was two NCE points in Grade 3.

Across all five grace levels, females scored higher on language-relatedsubtests. The one exception to this was Reading in Grade 11. On mathsubtests, .males scored higher in the secondary grades; results were mixed inthe elementary schools.

Among racial/etnnic groups, the major exception to the overall county trendsof score differences by sex was found in Grade 3 where Hispanic males scorednigher than Hispanic females.

ResuNts from the MFRT were consistent with those discussed a ove forlanguage-related subtests. Females had a nignex percentage passing e totaltest and all objective categories.

Longitudinal Results

For several years the average test scores in Grade 7 have been lower thanthose in 5 anc tnose in Grade 5 have been lower than in Grace 3. Thisscore ,decline across grades could have many causes tnat have little or norelationship to the quality of school programs. The possible cause that hasbeen investigated here relates to tne infyence of possible population changeson the scores at each grade.

The longitudinal analysis showed that students remaining in MCPS scored higheron the ITBS. than did nose wno transferred into or out of the county schools.Spe'cifically, students who took the ITBS three times in MCPS (i.e., Grades5, and 7 or 5, 7, and 9) had higher mean scores than those tested twice.Additionally, those tested _t_tre generally had higher meat scores than tnosetested only once.

goor

Similar results for the stable vs. transferring populatioh\were found .within

4longitudinal groups when the results or students who transfer between MCPSschools were studied separately. The ransfers within MCPS scored lower thanthose who were testes in the same school twice. Only in the elementaryschools was the difference significant.

Countywide score declines from Grade 3 to 5 and from Grade 5 to 7 from 1976 to

1978 were reflected' in the score trends of stlittentsted in MCPS more thanonce (longitudinal groups) as well as in the score trends between the groups

of different students tested only once in these years inonlongitudinal groups).

E-3

3)

e

However, from 1978 to 1980 the countywide decline was seen with the longitudi-nal groups only. Thus, neither countywide decline (i.e., for.1976 to 1978 or

1978 to 1980) can be attributed to student migratiion or population changes.

In, fact, from 1978 to1980 the entering students reduced the countywide

decline slightly Lno more than one NCE point).

'INTRODUCTION TO ANNUAL TEST REPORT

The Annual Test RepOrt, 1979-80 has bee° developed to be an easy to use

reference on test data in the Montgomery_ County Public Schools (MCPS). Thereport is divided into two chapters:

Chapter 1: Analysis,of County DataChapter 2: Analysis of School Data

11t.

Thtre also are two appendices, one containing tables of raw data from whichthe various analyses of county data were performed and None containing a

glos-sary of technical testing terms.

Chapter 1 contains 'six different- analyses of test data. Historical trends on'0 the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS), Tests of Academic Progress (TAP), and

Cognitive Abilities Test. (CAT) are presented for the last seven to nineyears. The results for these tests have been broken. down and analyzed byracial/ethnic and sex.classifications. Additionally, data from these testshave been analyzed longitudinally. That is, the performance of studentstested more than once in MCPS has been analyzed. This chapter also includes'.analyses of MCPS student performance on the Maryland Functional Reading TeVand on examinations administered by the college Entrance Examination Board.

Chapter 2 presents test data for each school. This chapter is mostly;destriptive. School mean scores are provided for the ITBS, TAP, and CAI. Therange of scores between the first, and third quartile for each school on theITBS or TAP is presented in graphic Corm. This indicates the degree ofdiversity in achievement in each school. Longitudsinal.data are presented foreach school. These' results indicate the trend of achievement test performanceof those students tested in the same school in both 1978 and 1980. Alsoincluded are the results for students who were in 4th school for only one ofthose two test administrations. School population shifts can be indicated bythese nonlongitudinal data. College Board results are presented by school inthe form of mean scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) and several ofthe achievement tests. Finally, the percentage of ....students passing the

Maryland Functional Reading Test is presented for .each school.a

Appendix A contains the raw data that has been used for the countorideanalyses. This is provided for anyone who wishes to do additional analyglis.

Appendix B is a glossary of statistical and testing terms which are usedthroughout the report. Each term is defined, and there is a discussion of howthe term can be used appropriately. There also is a djscussion of commonmisuses or misinterpretations of. the term.

A review of the major tests used in MCPS was presented ,in'the 1.977-78 AnnualTest Report. This material is available from the Department of EducationalAccountability, Room 110, Educational Services Center.

Cautions to 1-)e Observed) in Interpreting Data

Cautions must always 'be observed when making inferences based on desCriptivedata of the type used in this repoJt because )of the impossibility of

controlling all of the "intervening variables which affect these results. This

section will discuss some of the cautions which should be observed in

interpreting these data.

Differences in Group Membership

Different individuals are tested each year at ch grade evel. Therefore,

groups and subgroups differ from year to yew', and frqm grad to giade.

Differences in mean scores may occur simpl because the gtoups categories

of students whose performance is beihg c mpared are coned o different

q individuals who vary in many ways..

his mu t be kept,in min when one speaks

of "improvements" or :declines" i 1°' of the analyses included in -this.

chapter. This caveat' does not'apply to the longitudinal grbups in' Section

1.D. The results for ,,these. groups are based on data derived'. from.the same-students* over two or three testing periods, and differences in mean scores foi--.

these groups provide more meaningful information. *

Fluctuations of Means of Small Groups0

e analysest involve the description and comparison of the mean scores fot

/rather small groups of students. It is to be expected, that these small- group

Apans will probably deviate from county averages or will .differ from one

-another more thae the .means of large groups. This sampling fluctuation mustbe taken into account when comparing bean scores between years, across grades,

or.cantong groups.

Differences in Tests and Norms,

The sub/tests of the Cognitive Abilities Test, Iowa Tests of Basip Skills, andTests of Acaxtmic Progress have the same or similar names at each grade

level. However, the actual items making up' the tests at each grade leOel are

different. The.4elling subtest administered in Grade 3 is, therefore, no

the same as theSFelling subtest administered in Grade 5 (and so'on for ofgrades or test "leyels.

The national norming samples at'each.grade also differed. Therefore, then

national percentile ranks of a particular test batteiy may not be ekactly,

tomparable from grade to grade. (This is discuised in more detail in Appendix

"B.) Since the Tests of Academic Progress, which are administered in Grade 11,

are completely different from the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills comparisons

should not be made between scores on the two batteries eve if the' subtests

have similar names. ,

Percentile Ranks

The percentile rank (PR) scale is no.t an equal,winterval numerical .,scale (see

Appendix B). A given raw score or raw-score difference does not have the same

meaning throughout the entire range of the PR scale.' In some Aegments, a

small difference in raw scores can result in asmall difference in,FoR. In

other segments of the scales, the'same raw score difference may result ivsomewhat larger differences in PR. Thus, PRs can magnify small differences in

raw-score units and overemphasize the apparent_ '.niportance of these

differences, depending on what part'of the score range you, are using.

Because the scales are not'consistent, PRs should not be subtracted in an

attempt to find between-year, between-grade, or between-group differences in

amounts of "improvement" or "decline." They should_also not be subtracted to

identify subject or curriculum areas in which "greater" or ."smaller" changes

have occurred. Finally, the mean score of PRs should not be computed.

10

The percentile' rank '(PR) correSponding to the mean or median score of anygroup on any given test is the PR of en individual student who obtains that,score. It dyes not represent the ranking of that group when compared to other

similar groups. For example, let's assume. that the PR reported forgMCPt* on

the 'third grade Vocabulary subtest is 78. That does not mean that MCPS didbetter than 78 percent if the pchool districts in the norming sample. It does

mean'that the student achibiking the MCPS mean. score did beteet than 78 percent

of the studentsin the norming sample..

Effect of Normal Curve Equivalent (Na)1Scores on Results

The relationship of normal curve equivalent .(NCE) scores to percentile ranks

results'in some reported NCE scores having slightly differeht percentile rank's

in different parts of the report. This happens because the closeness of PRsin the middle of the ,score distribution causes there- to be less than one NCE-

' point between some PRs. When the precise NCE value is rounded to a whole

/ number,ethej-esult is the same NCE for two percentile ranks. For example, an

NCE of'54 could be fisted with a PR of 57 or 58. If the precise NCE value is

betyeen 53.5 and 53.99, the PR will be 57; if the precise NCE value is between

54 and 54.49, the PR will be 58.

Interpretation of Scores on Cognitive Abilities Test

Scores for th ognitive Abilities Test are treated as achievement, test

results and anr17Czed with the Iowa Test scores because performance on the CATis greiftly influenced by what a student has learned and is considered by many

experts to be a measure of achievement, not aptitude, ability, or intelligence.

1.A. HISTORICAL RECORD OF MCPS TEST RESULTS.

(Introduction

This section .prefients an historical analysis of the average scores of MCPS

student in rec4nt years on the Iowa Tests. of Basic §kills (ITBS)*, Tests of

Academic progress (TAP),, and the Coznitive Abilities Test (CAT). 'Historical

data 0provide a 14ful indicator of general trends in achievement for MCPS.They can also be used to suggest nstructional areas where teaching practicesor curricular content need to be reexamined.

Data

9The summary test results for all MCPS students are shown (Tables 1.A.1 to

1.A.4. The data for Grades 3 and a go back to 1972. For Gradqs 7, 9,'and 11,the data go back only to 1974,. In those latter grades the tests were.

administered at different times of the year .in 1972hand 1973 than in 1974 andafter. This would make Jhy comparison of the results misleading.

Three,kinds of data are presented here:

1. The national percentile ranks for the MCPS median student score are

show. in Table 1.A.1. (The median is the middle score.) The mediAis

are presented to be consistent with the data that have bevl reportedfor several years. Table I.A.2 summarizes these results by

indicating.the number of subtests on whichorpedian scores went up anddown and dose that are at high and low points.

2. The national percentile ranks for the MCPS mean student score areshown in Table 1.A.3. (The mean fs the arithmetic average scord.)the means were compu,Jed by Using grade equivalent (GE) scores to beconsistent with the way results are reported to schools and in the

Maryland Accountability Program RePoit (the report on all scHeol

Maryland published by the State Department of Education).

Analysis

.40

The tren in scores across the pears is the most meaningful information that.canpbe e ived from these tables. ThErefore, the scores are compared to

det mine Nether they are il9reasing or decreasing at each grade level. No

formal statistical analysis is required to make this determination.

Results

The 1980 results 'showed increase in median scores' Grades 5 and 7 andstability at a high lev of achievement' in Grades 3, 9, and 11. Some

highlights of.the data follow:

o In 1980 the national percentile rank.of the MCPS median-score was at

the highest for 52 (84 percent) of the 62 subtests administered

,across' Grad's 3,, 5, 7, 9, and 11.

o In 1980 the national percentile'rank of the MCPS median score was atits low*st for only 7 (11 percent) of the 62 subtests administeredthroughout all grades. These seven subtests were in Grades 9 and 11.

I

o Median scores throughout all grades increased on 24 (39 percent) ofthe 62 subtests from 1979 to 1980. Only one 'subtest, in Grade 9, had

a declining store from 1979 to 1980. ti

o The most_substantial 'increases from 1979 to 1980 occurred in Grades 5

' and 7. Students in Grade 5 increased their' scores on 8 of the 14

subtests, while students in Grade 7 increased their scores on 13 of

the 14 subtests..

o - Scores on Capitalization and Punctuation were consistently among the'highesi-f9r Grads 3, 5, 7, and 9 in 1980. The highest median score

was on third grade Punctuation Which was at the 87th percentile.

o Reading4Coiffprehension scores were lowest or :next to lowest in

Grades 3, 5, 7, and 9 in 1980.

.

o Sixty-nine percent of MCPS students over all grades scored at or

above the natio norm average in 1980. "These percentages ranged

from _a hi: of 80 percent in Grade 3 to a low of 58 percent in

Grade-.

1.B. ANALYSTS OF TEST RESULTS BYRACIAL/ETHNIC GROUPS

Introduction

In the spring of 1978, MCPS released an analysis of results from the 1976-77testing program which showed a gap in ,performance between black students andwhite students at all grade levels. This caused considerable concern amongadministrators, teachers, and parents. IA response, .the superintendent of

schools identified educational equity as a priority objective for the

following five year . One indication of the degree to which MCPS is meetingthis objective i taine'd from analysis of the performance of various

racial/ethnic gr ps white, black, spalic, and Asian) on the Iowa Tests of

Basic Skills (IT S), the Tests ef Ac emic Progress (TAP), and the CognitiveAbilities Test (CAT). This analysis .11 provide answers to the followingquestions:

1. What was the range of test scores in each racial/ethnic group for1980?

k

2. What was the trend of average scores for each racial/ethnic groupfrom 1977 to 1980?

3. How have the differences in average test performance between majorityand minority racial/ethnic groups changed between 1977 and 1980?

Data

The stanine distributions for each racial/ethnLc group on the ITBB/TAP

Composite score for 1980 are listed in Table 1.B.1. This makes it possible to

see how entire groups have performed and, therefore, provides data to show the

range of test scores.

tor

The NCE mean scores on the Composite .for ea, group for 1977 and*1980 areshown in Table 1.B.2. These scores illustrate trie size of the 'differences

between the two years.

The number of subtests on which each racial/ethnic group improved, stayed thesame, and declined from 1977 to 1980 is shown in Table 1.B:3. These data anew

the consistency- of the .subtext score trend within each group.

The comparisons of white student performance with the performance of blackstudents, Hispanic students, and Asian students are summarized in Tables 1.B.4to 1.B.6.

The trends of average Composite Iris by year from 1977 to 1980 for eachracial/ethnic group are illustrated in Figures 1.5.1 to 1.8.4. NCE scores

were used to develop these figures. These figures make it easy to see ifscore increases or decreases represented a four-year trend or were the result

of a big change in one year.

-19-32

The mean scores on each subtest for each group at each grade level are shown

in Tables Al to A6 in the Appendix. These scores are reported as percentile

ranks and normal curve equivalents (NCE). The percentages of students tested

in 'e ch group from 1977 to 1980 are presented in Tables A7 to A10 in the

Appen ix.

Analysis

The answers to the queitions pertaining to :the racial/ethnic groups were

obtained by looking at test score trends in two ways. First, the pattern of

subteit differences between groups was examined. Second, the magnitude of the

overall differences between groups was assessed.

'4'.-

In addition, the results were reported in two ways. First, the data were

examined within each racial/ethnic group. Second, the majority and the

minority group data were compared.

Pattern of Differences

The pattern of differences among subtests was reviewed to see if one group

scored consistently higher or' lower than another group in a variety of subject

areas. When looking at the score difference between groups; only the

direction is considered. If scores on a subtest increased from 1977 to 1980,

it would count as one increase regardless of the magnitude of the difference.

Table 1.8.3 was developed by using the pattern of delff-erences. Thy

significance of the pattern was determined by using the sign test.'

Magnit4Ae ,/

The size of the score differences between groups is not seen by reviewing the

1 pattern of increases and decreases. To determine whether or not the

difference is significant, a comparison of mean Composite scores of those

groups was undertaken. Table 1.8.2 shows the size of the difference between

NCE Composite scores from 1977 to 1980 for e ch group. Increases or decreases

of more than seven NCE points between t e group Composite scores are

considered significant.2

Both analyses are needed because they each address different concepts. It is

possible ,o have a significant pattern of increases or decreases without the

size of the differences being very large. This could mean that one group,

scored consistently higher on a significant number of tests, but the

'The sign test is based en the assumption that tlhe differences will be

evenly divided between increases and decreases. If the pattern is sub-

stantially different from this assumption, it is considered significant.

Significance is defined as any pattern that would have less than a 5 percent

probability of occuring by accident if the assumption of equal increases and

decreases were true.

differences were small. It is also possible to have a significant size

difference with no significant pattern of increases or decreases. This couldindicate that one group's average achievement level was higher but the lowergroup had some strong subject areas.

Results

-Highlights

The major conclusiong..of the. analyses. ow;f test results by racial /ethnic groupsindicate the following points:''

o All four racial/ethnic' .groups had some students scoring very high(9th stanine and very low (1st stanine).

o Test scores haye generally imprdved over the last four years for

white and black students. Fewer scores went up for the Asian4andHispanic students.

o Black students improved on more subtests thari any other group. Theyalso had larger improvements than the other groups.

o Score differences between black and white students have decreased in"59 (95 percent) of 62 subtests over the last four years.

o Score differences between Hispanic and white students have increasedover the last four years in Grades 3, 5, and 7, decreased in Grade 9and remained the same in Grade 11. Most of the increases at the

elemfntary grades ocurred in 1980.

o Score differences between white and Asian students have decreasedsince 1977.

o White students still scored significantly higher than black studentsand Hispanic students in'1980.

o Asian students scored higher thaeWhite students on a majority ofsubtests.

o Most of'the score changes on the individual subtests were small.

Range of Scores Within Groups (Question 1)

While there were clear differences in the performance of the four groups

studied, each group had students scoring across the full range of scores.

This indicates that tl-ire were students achieving at various levels in all

groups. The stanine distributions in_Table 1.13.1 demonstrate this point forthe ITBS Composite.

Results Within Groups (Question 2)

White Students. Scores for white students showed an increase on 47 (76

percept) of the 62 subtests across all grade levels from 1977 to 1980. This

1

included a significant pattern of increases in Grades 3, 5, and 7.' Grade 9

had the on subtest that went down. All changes were small, i.e., less-than

7 NCE points.

Black Students. Scores for 'black students showed an .increase on 61 (98

percent) of_ the 62 subtests across all grade levels from 1977 to 1980. This

represented a significant pattern of increases in every grade tested. Scores

remained the same on one'subtest in Grade 3. None of the inc,reases, however,

were significant in size.

Hispanic Students. Scores for Hispanic' students showed increases on ,28 (45

percent) of the 62 subtests from 1979 to 1980. The scores, decreased on 24

subtests. This resulted from a significant pattern of increases in Grades 7and 9 but a significant pattern of decreases in Grade 3. Much of the Grade 3

decline occurred during the, last year, 1979 to 1980: Grade 5 Hispanic

- students also had a decline on a significant number of subtests from 1979 to

1980. This elitinated most of the increases. from the previous year. None of

the individual subtest increases or decreases were significant in size.

Asian Students. Scores for Asian students showed increases and decreases on

the same number of subtests (25 each from 1977 to 1980). Patterns of

increases were significant in Grades 3 and 11. The pattern of decreases was

significant in Grade 7: None of the increases or decreases on individual

subtests were significant in size.

Majority/Minority Comparisons (Question 3)

White Students Compared to (Black Students. White students scored higher than

black students on every subtest. The difference between black student scores

and white student scores decreased on 59 (95 percent) of the 62 subtests over

all'grades from 1977 to 1980. This represented a significant pattern in everygrade. The three subtests on which the difference did not decrease were at

the elementary level,. However, the size of the decreases was not significant,

and the differences in test scores between the two groups was still

substantial.s.

White Students Compared to Hispanic Students. On every subtest white student

scores were higher than Hispanic student `scores. The difference between the

scores of white students and .Hispanic students increased on 38 (61 percent) of

the 62 subtests over all grades. The differences decreased on 15. The

pattern of differences wascsignificant in Grades 3, 5, and 9. The store

differences in Grades 43 and 5 increased and the score differenes in Grade 9delidecreased. The significant ,pattern of increases in Grade 3 was a c dre

reversal from the previous year. The size of the increases or decreas was, _ .

not significant. Howe'ver, ttie size of the differences between the two groups

was still substantial in most cases.

White Students Compared to Asian Students. Asian students scored higher than

white students on 42 (68 percent) of the 62 subtests. 1On these 42 subtests

the differences decreased on the majority (31), and incfreased on eight. This

represented a significadt pattern of decrease% in Grades 5 and 7. However,

the size of the differences was not significant. On the other side, white

students scored higher than Asian students on only five subtests. These five

emilasubtests all deal with language skills: 1Voca lary and Reading Comprehension

in Grade 3 and Vocabulary, Capitalization, a Language Usage in Grade 5.

1.C. ANALYSIS OF TEST RESULTS BY SEX

Introduction

As part of a continuing effort to monitor educational equity in MCPS, scoreson the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS), Tests of Academic' Progress (TAP),and the Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT) have been analYzed_hysix. Additions/breakdowns of test results by sex are provided for the Maryland FunctionalReading'.zIest (MFRT) in Section 1.E, and College Board examinations in

Section L.F.

The analysis in this section will answer the following questions:

1. What were the patterns of scores for males and females from 1978 to1980?

2. Were there differences in performance between males and females? Did

these differences occur in specific subject areas?

3. Did the differences in the perfordance of males,and females withinracialp/ethnic groups deviate from the differenceS between the malesand fAimales in the total. population?

Data

a

Thepattern of subtest increases and decreases from 1978 to 1980 for male-s sadfemales is' presented id Table 1.C.1. The trends of NCE mean Composite scoresfor males and females from 1978 to 1980 are illustrated in Figures 1.C.1 to

1.C.5. These data address Question 1.

The comparison of male and female test performance on each subtest ib 1979 and1980 is shown in Table 1.C.2. These data can be used to answer Question 2.They provi.de a way to determine if a group tended to score higher in certainsubject areas .across all grades. They also show if there was any change in

the direction of group differences.

The 'comparison of male and female test performance on each subtest withinracial/ethnic groups for 1979 and 1980 is presented in Tables 1.C.3 to 1.C.7.These data relate to Question 3.

Test results for males and for females who were tested in 1978, 1979, and 1980 ,

are presented in Tables All to A14 in the Appendix. The 'results for males and

females within racial /ethnic groups by grade for 1980 are presented in TablesA15 to A19. The tables show the mead normal carve equivalent (NCE) score and

its percentile rank for all subtests.

Analysis

The data were examined from two perspectives. First, the pattern of subtest

differences between groups was examined. Second, the magnitude of the overalldifferences between groups was assessed.

-33-

4c,

Pattern of Differences

The pattern of differences among subtests was reviewed to see if one groupscored consistently higher or lower thap another group in a variety of subjectareas. When looking at the score difference between groups, only the

direction is considered. If scores on a subtest increased from 1978 to 1980,it would count as one increase regardless of the magnitude of the difference.Table 1.0.1 was developed by using the pattern of differences. The

significande of the pattern was'determined by using the sign test.'

Magnitude

The size of the score differences between groups is not seen by reviewing thepattern of increases and decreases. To determine whether or not the difference

is significant in size, a comparison of mean Composite scores was undertaken.

Table 1.C.2 includes the size and direction of the difference between NCEComposite scores for 1979 and 1980 for each group. Increases or decreases of

more than seven NCE points betsrn the group Composite scores are considered

significant.2

Booth analyses are needed because they each address different concepts.° It is

possible to have a significant pattern of increases or decreases without the

size of the differences being very large. This could mean that one group

scored consistently higher 'on a significant number of tests, but the

differences were small. It is also possible to have i significant size,

difference with no significant pattern of increases or decreases. This could

indicate that one group's achievement level was higher but the lower group hadsome strong subject areas.

Results

Highlights

Analysis of test results by sex reveals the following:

The test scores for both males and females generally improved from4

1978 to 1980...

o On language subtests females scored higher in all cases from 1978 to1980, with the exception of Reading in Grade 11 in 1979 and 1980.

'The sign test is based on the assumption that differences will be

evenly divided between increases and decieases. If the pattern is

substantially different rrom this assumption, it is considered significant.

Significance is defined as any pattern that would have less than a 5 percent

probability of occuring by accident if the assumptiOn of equal increases anddecreases were true.

2Seven NCE points represent A change of ,one-third of a standard

deviation. This standard is often used in educational evaluation to indicate

meaningful ,change.

-34-

47

et

o On mathsubtests males tended to score higher at the seFon ary levelwhile results were mixed in Grades 3 and 5.

o Females tended to score slightly higher than males on the Compositescore in'all grades except Grade 11. However, the differences werequite small; the largest difference was two NCE points' in Grade 3.

o The patterns highlighted above were generally true across all

racial/ethnic groups. However, a major exception was noted in

Grade 3 where Hispanic males scored higher than females, on ninesubtests.* This was a deviation fro& the 1980 county trend, as wellas from the 1979 trend for Hispanics. The Composite differencechanged eight NCE points; that is, females were six points higher in1979 and males were two points higher in 1980. 40

o Almost all of the changes were modest in size.

Comparisons Within Each Group--1978 to 1980 (Question 1)

At all grade levels,.subtest scores showed more ;ncreases than decreases from

1978 to 1980 for both Males and females. The number of increases wassignificant for males at all grade levels, while the number of increases wassignificant .for females in Grade 7 only. None of the changes in subtest

ti scores were significant.

These same patterns were reflected generally in the mean Composite scores.These scores helped to emphasize that most changes were small. The bestexample of this was for Grade 9 males whs), mean Composite did not change eventhough six of the 11 ITBS subtests showed increases. These were all one-.Nipt

increases and were mostly in tests that have little weight in the computationof the Composite.

«Male/Female Comparisons--1980

Females scored higher than males on more th'anhalf of the subtests in Grades

3, 5, 7, and 9; however, the pattern in each grade was not significant. In

Grade 11 males scored higher on three subtests and females scored higher ontwo subtests. The reason for this change from earlier grades is not at. all

clear. Two possible reasons for the change are differen es in content on theTAP and ITBS and different levels of motivation for mal s and females as theymove into senior high school. Males scoring higher in senior high school is

consistent with results of the Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) of the3ollegeBoard (see Section 1.F.).

Analysis of 1980 scores on subtests grouped by subject area shows that, in

general, females continued to score higher than males on language-relatedsubtests; and males continued to score higher on mathematics, science, and

social studies subtests. Females scored higher than males across all gradelevels on the ITBS subtestrl included in the Language Total, namely, Spelling,Capitalization, Punctuation, and, Language Usage. They also scored higher onthe English Composition and Literature subtests in theiTAP battery. Further,

in Grades 3, 5, 7, and 9,/ females scored higher than males on Reading

Comprehension. In Grade 11 the two groups were even in this area.

-35-

4i

Males scored higher than females on all mathematics subtests in Grades 7, 9,

and 11, and males scored higher on Sciencepsnd Social Studies in Grade 11. In

Grade 3 females scored higher:on the Mathematics Problem Solving subtest, and

males scored higher on the iathematics Concepts subtest. In Grade '5 both

groups scored £he same on 'the Mathematics Problem Solving subtest, and again

males scored higher on Mathematics Conclpts.

1

The analysi's of the mean Composite NCE scores was corftistent with the pattern

of subtest differences. Females scored higher than males in Grades 3, 5, 7,

and 9. The magnitude was less in 1980 than it was in 1979 in Grades 3 and 7,

equal in Grade 5, and greater'in Grade 9. In Grade 11 males scored one point

higher than females. This waS consistent with 1979 but a reversal of the 1978

trend. The largest difference in 1980 was,, two points in Grade 3, well below

the seven-point standard of significance. The trends for these groups can be

seen in Figures 1.C.1 to 1.C.5.

Exceptions to the County Pattern Within Racial/Ethnic Groups-:-1980 (Question 3)

The most noteworthy deviation from the county pattern among racial/ethnic

groups was, between Hispanic- males and females in Grade 3. At this level

Hispanic males scored higher on more than half of the subtests. This resulted

in an 'eight-point NCE score difference change on the Composite for this

grade. Males scored two points higher in 1980. Females had scored six points

higher in 1979.

Two other noteworthy trend reversals were noted in the scores of Asian

students. In Grade 5 females had.a Composite mean four points higher than

males in 1980. In 1979 the males had scored two points higher. In Grade 9

Asianimales and females had the sameComposite mean in 1980 after males had

scored'seven points higher in 1979. Both of these cases were consistent with

the county trend in 1980 but had been inconsistent with-it in 1979.

There were exceptions to the trend of females scoring .higher than males on

language-related subtests among racial/ethnic groups. White males scored

higher on Vocabulary in Grades 5, 7, and 9. Hispanic Tales scored higher do

Vocabulary in Grades 7 and 9 and on Reading Comprehension in Grade 9. /

Several of the subtest score differences among the racial/ethnic groups were

more than seven NCE points. This represents a substantial change. These

subtests, by group and grade,, are identified in Tables 1.C.3 to 1.C.7.

1.

In 1980 the pattern of higher performance of females on a larger number of

subs is countywide deviated among the racial /ethnic groups only to the extent

the pattern was significrant for some of the these groups, while it was

significa9t in any grade countywide. The significant patt.erns were for

wh t and Asian students in"Grade 3; black, Asian, and Hispanic students in

Grade 5; and black students in Grade 7.

1.D. LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS OP RESULTS FOR---,WITS TESTED IN 1976, 1978, AND/OR 1980

Introduction

In recent years the 'average test score of MCPS students has declin relative

to the national norm' from Grade 3 to Grade 7. The data p ted in

Section 1.A show that this trend occurred again in 1980. This decline has

caused much concern and discussion. Several explanations for this trend canbe hypothesized. These include possible sampring error in the norms for. each

grade, differential degree df match between the MCPS curriculum and the

content of the ITBS in different grades, different testing dates for

elementary and secondary grades, of simply declining achievement. The

hypothesis dealing with different testing dites was investigated in the

1978-79 Annual Test Report. The different dates were found to account forpart ef the score decline indicated above. Comprehensive research studies

would be needed to investigate fa-11y the other hypotheses. This cannot be

done with the available data. ligh

Still another hypothesis that can be presented as a reason for thq score

decline is change in the population from grade to grade. The analyses

presented in this section attempt to deal with that hypothesis. This is done

by looking at the effect A the score decline of groups of students who have

attended MCPS schools for varying amounts of time. This should show if the

decline can be attributed to groups transferring into and out of MCPS; to

groups remaining in MCPS for several years; to groups transferring wit ,hin

MCPS; or to some combination of these groups.

The specific questions to be addressed in this section are:

1. Did students who remained in MCPS score higher or lower than students

who transferred into orout of MCPS?

2. Was the countywide test score decline from Grade 3 to Grade 7 caused

by the 4liore trend for students who remained in MCPS or by

difference6 in performance between those students who transferred

into or out of MCPS?

3./ Was the score difference between students transferring into and out

of MCPS large enough to indicate a meaningful change in the level of

achievement in MCPS?

4. How did the test scores of students yho remained in the same school

. compare to the scores of students who transferred from one MCPS

school to another?

those tested in MCPS in two or three consecutive test administrations in 19761978, and 1980. Students in the nonlongitudinal category were tested in MCPS

The mean Composite scores for each longitudinal and nonlongitudinal group are

listed in Tables 1.D.2 to 1.D.4. These data are presented for the county and

for each major racial/ethnic group in MCPS. The first 'three questions are

answered using these data.

The county results from Table 1.D.2 to 1.D.4 are presented in graphic form in

Figures I.D.1 to 1.D.3 . This provides an easy way to compare the trends of

the various groups.

Two of the longitudinal groups (those with fifth or ninth grade students in

1980) have been further broken down to compare the performance of students

tested in the same school twice to the performance of students transferring k

between MCPS schools. The mean Composite scores for these two groups ate

reported in Table 1.D.5.

The detailed data relating to this section are presented in Tables A20 to A39

in the Appendix. The longitudinal groups are organized by their 1980 grade.All of the nonlongitudinal groups are reported in one table. The results are

reported for the total county and for each major racial/ethnic group in MCPS.Mean normal curve equivalent (NCE) scores are reported with their percentileranks.

AnalysisI

The answers to all four questiOns were obtained by looking at the differences%in mean Composite scores between the relevant longitudinal and nonlongitudinalgroups. In these comparisons, differences of more than seven NCE points veteconsidered significant.2

Results

Highlights4P

The summary of the results of the longitudinal analysis for students tested in

1976, 1978, and/or 1980 follows.

o Students who remained in MCPS tended to score higher on the IowaTests of Basic Skills than students who transferred into or out of

the MCPS. However, in only 4'of 24 comparisons was the difference

significant. In one case the group transferring out of MCPS scored

one point higher than the group remaining.

o The overall county test score declines from Grade 3 to 5 and from

Grade 5 to 7 were generally reflected by both longitudinal (L) and

nonlongitudinal (NL) groups between 1976 and 1978. L groups declined

two to three NCE points, while the score differences between NL groups

were six to ten po s. However, from 1978 to 1980 only the longi-.44udinar groups in th se grades had a score decline. Again the L

groups had declines of two to three points. This time the students

transferring into MCPS scored the same as those who had transferredout after one testing. Thus, between the last two years the students

entering MCPS actually reduced the score decline slightly.

o For Asian and Hispanic students, there were generally significant

differences in mean scores between students entering MCPS and thoseleaving. In most cases the entering groups had lower scores than the

exiting groups. The longitudinal groups for. Asian and Hispanic

students showed little change during this time.

o Stude$s who remained in the same school across two test periods

scored higher than those who transferred between MCPS schools. The

difference w,s significant only at the elementary level.

o Students who remained in the same school and students who transferred

between MCPS schools showed similar declines in test scores.

M

2This represents a change of more than one-third of a standard

deviation, a standard often used in educational evaluation to indicate

meaningful change.r

Test Performance and Time in MCPS (Question 1)

Students tested in MCPS at least three times (i.e., Grades

7, and 9) had higher mean Composite scores than Students3, 5,

testedand 7 or 5,in the same

grades who were in MCPS for only one or- two testings. In 4 of 14 comparisons

the scores for the group remaining in MCPS across a Jour-year period were

significantly higher than the scores for the other groups. Students in MCPS:

for two test administrations generally had mean Composite scores higher than

the scores for students tested only Once in MCPS. None of these differences

were significant. The only exception to this trend was in-Grade 5 in 1976

Where the group tested once scored one NCE point higher than the group that

stayed in MCPS be tested twice.

at time in.MCPS and the size-of test scores were related is not a

dr- definite indication of school system quality. Such a cause and effect

relationship is difficult to establish; There are several possible reasons

for this relationShip. Certainly it is possible that the MCPS instructional

program is of higher quality than those programs which students are exposed to

in other school districts. Additionally, when students are in,the same school

or school system for several years, the problems they have will most likely be

identified and remedied, thus, improving achievement. If the student coKanges

schools often such an identification is less likely. However, the score

patterns could have little relationship to what takes place in the schools.

They could be the result of certain characteristics of groups of students who

tend to stay in the same area for several years. These characteristics could

be effected by such nonschool-related factors as/the employment histqry of

parents, effects of moves upon children, etc.

Effect of Longitudinal and Nonlongitudinal Group Score Trends on County Trends

(Question 2)

From 1976 to 1978 all groups being studied in this sellon -- three-year

longitudinal, two-year longitudinal, and nonlongitudinal contributed to the

decline in test scores between Grades 3 and 7.- The one trend in that period

that was significant was a ten-NCE-point difference between the NL groups in

Grades 5 (1976) and 7 (1978). This was considerably larger than the two- to

three-point declines for both longitudinal groups between these grades.

In contrast, the score declines from 1978 to 1980 were influenced only by the'

groups that were in MCPS longer. The longitudinal groups in Grades 5 and 7

(1980) showed a two- to three-point decline from two years earlier. The

nonlongitudinal groups in each grade scored the same. Thus, the small

countywide score declines from 1978 to r980 between Grades 3 and 5 and Grades

5 and 7 were caused completely by the longitudinal groups.

Score Trends Between Groups Transferring Into and Out of MCPS (Question 3)

The only indication of a possible countywide population change in achievement

level was found from Grade 5 to 7 between 1976 and 1978. Here a declide of

ten NCE poitts was noted. While this decline between nonlongitudinal groups

was significant in magnitude, it did not signal amajor impact on the level-.41

achievement in MCPS because the 370 students in the Grade 7 group were only 6

percent of the total number tested. ,Thus, their entry into that class did not

create much of a change in the average test performance of the total class.

-52-

4

The scores .for the nonlongitudinal groups of Asian and Hispanic students

showed considerable differences from one test administration to the next. The

largest difference was'an 18-NCE-point decline for Asian students from Grade 5.(1976) to Grade 7 (1978). Several other declines for both groups were beyondthe seven -point standard of significance. One, possible 'reason for the large

score fluctuations could have been the small size of these groups. However,the significant score declines could also have resulted from a lack of fluency 211with English for the entering students. Many of the students in the enteringgroups are new to the United States. Their lack of familiarity with Englishcould make high performance on this test diffiCult.3

Effect of Students Transferring Between MCPS Schools (Question 4)

Students who remained in the same school for two test administrations (i.e.,at least two years) scored higher than those who transferred between MCPSschools. The difference between these groups was significant only at the

elementary level (eight points in both Grades 3 and 5):

When the scores of students transferring between MCPS elementary schools werecompared to those of students entering or leaving MCPS, little difference was

found.,- However, at the secondary level sizeable difference was found. In

Grad6 7 in 1978 the group transferring within MCPS scored nine points higher.In 1980, this difference was six points.

Finally, an analysis of test scores of st dents remainihgsin the same school --,)

and those transferring within MCPS indicat d that both groups had a two-pointdecline in scores between Grades an 5. At the secondary level the

comparison between these groups led o a similar conclusion as scores betweenGrades 7 and 9 remained the same f r stu ents tested in the same school and

increased by one point for students ested in different MCPS schools.

3It shouldshNnotea, that students identified as not being able to take astandardized test written in English are excused from taking the tests. This

means that the mean scores for groups of Asian and Hispanic students probablyindicated a higher_levat of achievement than would be the case if all studentsin these groups were tested. This was true for the few cases where the NLmean scores- went up for these groups as well as the majority of cases wherethe mean scores went down.

1.E. REPORT ON STUDENTS ACHIEVING COMPETENCY ON THEMARYLAND FUNCTIONAL READING TEST, COUNTYWIDE AND

BY SEX AND RACIAL/ETHNIC CATEGORY

Introduction

71

The Maryland Functional Reading Test (MFRT) is part of the Maryland Stateminimum competency testing program. The results provide measure of how wellstudents have attained the minimal literacy skills det mined by the MarylandState Department of Education (MSDE) necessary for high school diploma.

Starting with the graduating class of 1982, the MFRT will be a high schoolgraduation requirement. To pass this test a student must answer iorrectly atleast 80 percent of the questions. The analyses of test performanEe presented

\, here address the following questions:

1. What were the countywide score trends?

2. Were ther erformance differences by racial/ethnic category?

3. Were there differences in performance by sex?

Table 1.E.1 reports the percent a of students achiev g the 80 percent

competency score foreach category f the MFRT and for OM total test. Thesedata are reported for Grade 7 and are broken out by racial/ethnic groups and

by sex. Results from the Grade 9 administration of the MFRT are not reportedbecause the test that was mandated by MSDE was later declared invalid by MSDE.

Analysis

No fgrmal statistical analyses have been done. The data are descriptive.

Results

Highlights

An analysis of the data from the October, 1979, administration of the MarylandFunctional Reading Test in Grade 7 has produced the following results:

o Countywide; 90 percent of the Grade 7 students tested passed the

MFRT. This was the same as the previous year.

o A breakdown of the .data by racial/ethnic groups shows that the

percentage passing increased in each minority group. Hispanic stu-dents hgt a passing rate of 87 percent, -a-6 percent increase from

1978. Asian and black students had passing rates of 94 and 74

-61-

73

percent, respectively. This was an increase of 3 percent in each

case. Ninety-two percent of the white students tested passed, the

same as in 1978.

o Females again outperformed males 93 to 87 percent, the same as last

year.

o There was an increase for every group on the category 4pvderstanding

Forms" from 1978 to 1979. The increase for Asian and white students

was 5 percent; the increase was 15 percent for both black and

Hispanic students.

County Data (Question 1)

The percentage of MCPS students in Grade 7 who passed the total test remained

the same as it was the previous year (90 percent). Student performance

increased on Understanding Forms, remained the same on Gaining Information,

aid decreased on Locating Information and Following Directions.

Results by Racial/Ethnic Group (Question 2)

In 1979 Asian students scored higher than all other groups on the total test

and every category. This was a reversal from he previous year,when the white

students had the highest scores. HoweV46...tik difference between Asian and

white students in percentage passing was only 2 percent on the total test and

r d from...1 to 4 percent on the objective categories.4

In 1979 the percentage of white students passing the MFRT remained the same on

the total test as in 1978. There was an increase of 5 percent on one category

and a decrease of from 1 to 4 percent on three categories.

Black students increased their scores in the past yearon the total \test and

in three of the four categories. White students scored higher than black

students with 18 percent more white students passing the test. This was a

decline from the 21 percent difference the year before.

Hispanic students increased or remained t e same in 1979 on the total test and

all categories. The differences betwe n their scores and those of white

students decreased from 1978 to 1979, even though the white students were

still higher in every case. Five percent ore white students passed the test

than did Hispanics. This was a decline rom* the 11 percent difference the

year before.

Results by Sex (Question 3)

Females scored higher than dales on the total test and on all objective

categories in each of the three years reported.

1w,1.F. MCPS STUDENT PERFORMANCE ON COLLEGE BOARD TESTS

Introduction40i

The College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) tests are examinations generallytaken by college bound senior high school students. The Scholastic AptitudeTests (SAT), the most widely taken tests in this group, were administered toapproximately 68 percent of -the 1980 MCPS graduating class. The CEEBAchievement Tests 4the Advanced Placement Examinations (AP) were taken byless than 25 percent of this class, but these students were generally achieving

at the top of the graduating class.

It is often claimed that the results from College Board tests provide a measure

of how well county students are prepared for college. Scores on the SATs andachievement tests are data used by colleges to help make admissions decisions.AP results may be used to earn college credit or advanced standing in colleges.For these reasons performance on these tests may be a more accurate indicatorof the skills of college bound students than the Tests of Academic Progress(TAP) administered in Grade 11. Because of the importance of the CEEB results

to individual students, the students are likely to be better motivated thanwhen taking the TAP.

Data

The SAT results for the last eight years are in Table 1.F.1. It shows the mean

scores for males, females, and the total county. National results are also

presented for those years. Also shown in this table is the percentage of theGrade 12 enrollment that was testwd each year. The SAT score trends from 1979to 1980 and the differences between MCPS and national means in 1980 are sr-marized in Table 1.F.2.

The MCPS and national mean scores for the'last four years for each of the CEEB

achievement tests are shown in Table 1.F.3. The trends from 1979 to 1980 andthe differences between the MCPS and the national means are summarized in

Table 1.F.4.

w The results repcirted for the SAT anillachievement tests are for graduatingseniors the last time they took the test. That is, if they took the test in

Grade 11 and not in Grade 12, their eleventh grade score would be incltided in

these results. If they took the test in the twelfth grade, only the twelfthgrade score would be included. Results have been reported in this way since

1973. Before then, Grade 11 and Grade 12 scores were reported separately.Therefore, pre-1973 results are not easily comparable to current data.

The AP results are presented in Table 1.F.5. as the percentage of students who

attained each score on the five-point scale. Also provided are the numberstested on each test and the cumulative percentages of students scoring at each

/ point on the scale.

The AP results are for all students tested in 1980. Thus, they include

students who are not01980 seniors. This is being done to be consistent withprevious years so data can be compared.

Analysis

The results from these tests are .studied in two way : score trends and

d' ferences between MCPS and national results. No fo mal statistical tests

ahre performed.

Results'

Highlights

o The mean scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) for the class of)

1980 were 503 on the Math test and 456 on the Verbal test. These

scores represented a three-point increase on Math from 1919 and

change on Verbal.

o The MCPS mean scores were well above the national average of 466 on

Math and 424 on Verbal. The natibnal trends were declines of one and

three points on Math and Verbal, respectively.

o Males outscored females on both SAT tests: 531 to 478 on Math and

460 to 452 on Verbal. These differences were similar to those on the

national level.

o MCPS mean scores increased on 8 of. the 12 College Board achievement

tests from 1979 to 1980. Onlkof the 12 achievement .tests, the MCPSmean was higher than the national mean.

o Scores on the Advanced Placement Examination declined slightly in

1980 as 45 percent of the students received a score of four or five.

This was compared to 49 percent in 1979. This decline Might have;been

related to the fact that 22 percent more students took these tests.

SAT Results

MCpS average score trends from 1979 to 1980 on the SATs were counter to the

national trend. While the MCPS average went up three points on Math, the

national trend was a one-point decline. The MCPS average remainEld the same on

the Verbal test, while there was a three-point national decline.

The stable status of the Verbal mean resulted from a two-point increase by

males and a one-point decrease by females. Both groups increased on Math;

males five points and females two points. Females made up 53 .percent of the

group tested. Additionally, 71 percent of the females in the class were tested

and only 65 percent of the males. The fact that a slightly larger percentage

of females was tested could be related to their lower scores. This statement

is based on the assumption that, since this is a college admission test, only

hier achieving students choose to take the test. If more of one group takes

the' test, this 401d mean lower achieving members of that group are being

tested.

Achievement Test Results_

The average score for MCPS. student ncreased on-..8 of 12 of the CEEB achieve-

ment tests froth 1979 to 1980. The 1 est MCPS increases were 24 pointsBiology 21 points in Physics. Nationally, these tests had 4- and 12-pointincreases. ,

fhe average score for MCPS decreased On four achievement tests. Spanish had

the largest decrease, 37 points. This compared to an 18-point decline

nationally.:

The MCPS average was higher than the national average on all achievement- testsexcept Spanish and,German. The MCPS averages were seven and, four points below

the national avge. The tests f,irthes-t above the, national average were

Chemisry and Lit ature, each 42 points above the national score.

It shoul d be noted that the numbers of students taking each achiev ent test.,

were-a. small portion of the ,graduating class. English was tak n by the

largest group, 1782. This rQlfs only 20 percent of the 1980 seniors in MCPS.

The only other tests with more than 500 students were Mathematics I and

"Mathematics II. These small numbers made it difficult to evaluate score

changes. This wa's parSly, because the groups being tested cannot be consideredrepresentative,..arf the entire class. Thus, it was not evident whether score.changes were 't result of instructional strengths or weaknesses or simply a

result of the changing composition of groups of students who took the tests.

Kdjitled Placement Results

Forty-five percent of, the scores on Advanced Placement (AP) exams taken by

MCPS sudents-were four or five.' This was a decline of 4 percent f om he

previous year, indicating only a slight change: An increase of.-1E- percent

(from 1170 to 14 in the number of students tested could have been a factor

in this decline. he AP program is designed for high achieving students. As'

with the achievement tests discussed above, it might be expected that the

average achievement level would decline when the, number of students in sucfi a

program increased.

The most popular courses, as in the past, were English (442 students) and MathCalculus (283).- As with the achievement test; discus4ed above, ti-1 number of .

students pking'these tests was so small that the groups, cannot be consideredrepresentative of the graduating class ankl core changes were difficul1.4t to

evaluate.ia

INTRODUCTION TO SCHOOL DATA ANALYSIS

Test results for individual schools for 1979-80 are presented in this chapter-to 'provide an easily accessible source of data that is often needed for

activities such' as program planning and sampling. The chapter is divided into

five sections:

2.A. ITZS or TAP Mean Scores'and Longitudinal Data'2.B. SchooL Interquartile Ranges on ITBS or TAP2.C. Maryland Functional Reading Test2.D. College Board Test Results2.E. Cognitive Abilities Test Mean Scores

The'tables of mean 'scores, by school, for each subtest of the Iowa Tests of

Basic Skills (ITBS) or the .Tests of Academic4 Progress (TAP) are presented inSection 2.A. This is part of the data that was provided to each school for

its Annual School Report.

This section also contains results from a longitudinal/migration analysis

that, separately, considered students who had been in each school for two test

administrations and those who were there for only one. These data are

reported for students who were tested in the same elementary school in Grade 3(:978) and Grade 5 (1980) or the same junior high srchool in Grade 7'(1978) andGrade 9 (1980). These results give an indication of both the school's success

with the students it has had for at least two years and the effect that

students' transferring rnto and out of the school have on the sch'ool's Ars.

The national percentile ranks of the students scoring at the first quartile,median, and third quartile for each school are presented in Section 2.B.

These data, presented in graphic format, provide a better piCture of theoverall level of achievement, as measured by standardized tests, than can beprovided by the mean score alone. These interquartile ranges show'the spreadof scores of the middle half of the students in each school.

The percent of students in each school in Grde 7 who passed the MarylandFunctional Reading Test is provided in Section 2.C.

School mean scores on tests administered by the College Entrance ExaminationBoard are listed in Section 2.D. The scores presented are for the ScholasticAptitude Tests (SAT) and several of the achievement tests.

A list of the school mean scores on the Cognitive Abilities Test is shown inthe final section of this chapter, 2.E.

Tne cautions to be observed when reviewing test data that were discUssed inChapter 1 apply 'with school data also. Special attention needs to be paid toresults from small groups and changing, populations when reviewing school

results.

2.A. ITBS AND TAP MEAN SCORES AND LONGITUDINAL DATA

Introduction

This section contains a copy the table af)Mean scores for the Iowa Tests ofBasic Skills (ITBS) or the Tes s of Academic Progress (TAP) that was providedto each school for inclusion in'its Anit61 School Report. Putting these,tables in one source document provides a handy reference for reviewing the ,

scores of specific schools. Review of the average test scores of the studentsin a school provides an indication of possible instructional strengths or

weaknesses for t111 at

school.

Also presented in this section are the results f om a rpngitudinal analysisfor each school. This analysis has been done to re ve a confounding factorin the review of school test data. Test scores for e students do notreflect their achievement in a given school because these students have,-beenin that school for only a ort period of time. The inclusion of the'testscores of these students in he data for that school can lead to incOrectimpressions about the success of the school's instructional program. This isespecially true if a substantial proportion of the students in a given schoolhave been in the school for a relatively brief period of time. A betterindication of the quality of a school's program can be provided by the test

scores of students who have been in the sate school for at least tjo years,the period of time between administrations of systemwide tests_ to specificstudents. These school longitudinal data can-be used to answer the followingquestions:

. 1. Did the score trend of a school longitudinal group indicate a

subgtantial change in the achievement for that group?

2. How did students entering or leaving the school affect the overallschool results?

3. Did students who were tested in the same school in both 1978 and 1980score higher than students who were tested in that school for onlyone yea1-?

Data

Countywide mean scores for students tested in the same school at two

consecutive test administrations (1978 and 1980) are shown in Table 2.A.1.The trends 8f these mean scores can be, used to help answer Question 1. This

table is set up to.make this easier by also including the magnitude of a scoreincrease or decrease that would be considered substantial for a school longi-'tudinal group, based on the county trend. Any NCE score change equal to orgreater than the number in the table indicates a school that may have a very.good program (if the trend is positive) or a program that might need help (ifthe trend is 'negative). These substantial changes are indiCated in .the

individual school tables by a plus or minulr

-

Similar data are presented in Table 2.A.2 for students tested in a school

only once. Substantial score changes here .indicated changes in the schoolpopulation, especially if the number of students in the group was a large

proportion of the number in the grade.

The school pages contain two different tables.' The top table reports the

school mean scores. The bottom table reports the longitudinal analysis.

School Means. The tables reporting mean scores contain grade

equivalent (GE) scores for the ITBS and standard scores (SS) for the

TAP. In addition, the national percentile rank, based oft student

norms, is reported for each mean score.1 The mean scores for, these

tables have been, computed using GEs and SSs rather than normal curve

Ors)

equivalents NCE) which were used for most of the other data in this

report. T 'S computational method has been used to be consistent with

the method required by the Maryland Accountability Program. The

results generally would be very close to the results that would be

found if NCEs were used.

Longitudinal Analysis. The tables for the longitudinal analysis

contain mean test scores for students who were tested in tie same

school in both 1978 and 1980 (longitudinal groups). Also shown are the

mean scores for students tested in each school in only one of the two

Years (nonlongitudinal groups). Substantial score changes (defined in

the Analysis section) are indicated by "+" for increases and "" fordecreases. It should be* remembered that the studedts in the two

nonlongitudinal groups are completely different students. The results

reported are for 1978 Grade 3 and 1980 Grade 5 in elementarysschools

and 1978 Grade 7 and 1980 Grade 9 in junior high schools.

Four mean scores are reported for each group, longitudinal (L) and

nonlongitudinal (NL), for each year. 4These are the means for Reading

Comprehension, Language (Spelling, Punctuation, Capitalization, and

Usage), Mathematics (Concepts and Problem Solving), and the CompositeThe mean scores were computed using normal curve equivalents becausethe analysis of these data involved determining score differences.

(See NCEs in Appendix B.)

Scores of groups with fewer than ten members were not included in these

tables because the mean scores of groups that small could fluctuate

considerably as a result of one of two exceptionally high or low

scopes. If the longitudinal group for a school'had fewer than 10

students, no data were reported for that school.

1This is e percentile rank for a student who obtains ..the mean

score. It does not represent the ranking of that- school when compared to

other schools.

The results are :ported on a separa page for each school. 'The schoolsare in alphabetica order and are gr ed by grade. The pages where eachgrade group starts follow:

Grades 3 and/oE 5 Page 81.

Grades 7 and/or 9 Page 205Grade 11 Page 244

Analysis'

IPA. School Means. No formal analysis was performed with the data- in the

tables of mean scores. These.data are descriptive. The 'percentileranks can be used to compare performance on the subtests to that on theComposite to determine strengths and weaknesses within a school.

B. Longitudinal Analysis. Trend analysis is the most useful w 'to lookat the data fOr longitudinal and nonlongitudinal groups. The importantinformation is related to -whether, scores increased or decreased, not -how high the scores are. This trend analysis i§ based on theassumption that.a student or group of students should maintain the same_relative standink(ise., percentile rank) from year to year. If- tne

longitudinal group trend fluctuates from this assumption beyond normalerror limits, it could be a sign of a noteworthy program or of a

program that needs some improvement. If a change 6f this magnitudeoccurs between nonlongitudinal groups, it could signify a-substantialpopulation shift.

The NCE mean scores .should be compared to determine if score

differences are substantial. A standard of greater than seven NCEpoints has been;established to indicate that a difference was largerthan might be expected to be caused by test error. However; becausescore differences across grades could be caused by factors extraneousto school programs, this standard has been adjusted."' Some of 'theseexttaneous4-factors were 'discussed- in Section 1.0, which deals' withco ide longitudinal data.: They include passible weaknesses in testormi curricular ch4Ages impacting some grades more than others, and

the time the year that teats are administered.- To- account for tpheae

factors the seven point standard is-computed from the countywide trendsfor school longitudinal and school nonlongitudinal groups. The athountof ch nge needed to be considered, substantial is shown in Table- 2.A.1for lo gitudinal groups and 2.A.2 for nonlongitudinal groups-

Data for any gibups of less than 35 students should be trea led withcaution because of the possibility of fluctuation of means cau

latively few extreme scores.

2.B. SCHOOL INTERQUARTILE RANGES

Introduction

The inter uartile range provides an indication of how the middle 50 percent'of

the stude is in a group performed on a test. These could be said to be the

typical udents in that school. These data provide an indication of what

types programs might be appropriate for a given school For example, if

the entire range, is above the 90th pertentile rank, it is an indication thel

scnool should provide programs for large numbers of students with similar

ability. If the range is wide, say from the 30th to the 80th percentile rank,

the school has to be equipped to meet the needs of students of highdiy variable

abilit levels.

Data

The fizures on tne fol-lowing pages indicate the national percentile rank for

the student at each school's first quartile (Q1), median, ,and third quartile

(Q3 on tne. ITBS or TAP Composite. The score at the left send of the bar is

Qi, tne score at the right end is Q3, and thetone in the middle is -the

median. Tne Composite score is a general performance indicator and provides

data on which to judge tne dispersion of acnievement in a given school. At

t7,e end of this section, tne quartile graphs for toe county are provided.

These can ne used to see now a range for asspecific school fits into the rang

for tne entire county.

Schools are listed in alpnanetical order for each grade. The first page for

each grade follows:

Grade 3 Composite Page 268





County Graphs Page 292

The national percentile rank scale at the top of each page). ciovided to show

the characteristics of percentile ranks in a normal distribution. It should

be noted that at the extremes of the distribution; p- centile ranks are

separated by more raw-score points than are the percentile ranks in the middle

of the distribution. That is, an increase (or decrease) of ten percentile

rank units at the extremes represents a greater change in raw -score points

than does an increase for decrease) of ten percentile rank units in the middle

of the scale..

)Analysis

No formal statistical analyses were performed. The data are descriptive.

2.C. MARYLAND FUNCTIONAL READING TEST

1

The Maryland Functional Reading Test (MFRT) is part of the Maryland State

minimum competency testing program. The MFRT is designed to measure how well

students have attained the minimal literacy skills, determined by the Maryland

State Department of Education (MSDE), nect%s.a.r..y-ffor a high school diploma.

\Starting with the graduating class of- 1982, the MFRT'will be a graduation

requirement. To pass this test a student must answer at least 80 percent of

the questions on the test correctly.

Data

The percentage of students achieving the 80 percent competency score for each

school is reported for each category of t-he MFRT and for the total test.

These data are reported for Grade 7 in Table 2.C.1. Schools are listed

alphabetically.

lsults from the Grade 9 administration of the MFRT are not reported because

e test tIat was mandated by MSDE was later declared invalid by MSDE.

Analysis

No formal analysis has been performed. The data are descriptive.

D. -COLLEGE BOARD RESULTS

Introduction

The College Entrance ExaminatioBoard (CEEB) tests are examinations generally

taken by college bound senior high school students. The Scholastic Aptittde

Tests (SAT), the most-widely taken tests in this group, were administered to

approximately 68 percent of the 1980 MCPS graduating class. The CEEB

Achievement Tests were, taken by less than 25 percent of this class. The

percentages taking these ,tests varied across schools.

It is often claimed that the results from College Board tests provide a

measure of how well comity students are prepared for college. Scores on these

tests are data used by colleges to help make admissions decisions. For these

reasons performance on these tests may be a more accurate indicator of theskills of college.bound students than the Tests of Academic Progress (TAP)

administered in Grade 11. Because of the importance of the CEEB results to

individual students, the students are likely to be better motivated than when

taking the TAP.,

Data

School mean scores on the SAT Verbal and Math Tests are presented for 1979 and

1980 in Table 2.D.1. The number tested is also presented. No summary results

have been provided for Poolesville High School because of the small number of

`students tested. The College Board does not report SAT results for groups of

less than 50.

School mean scores for several College Board achievement tests are reported in

Table 2.D.2 for 1980. The number tested is also reported and this is

f

considerably smaller than the number for the SAT. Results are not eported

for any groups of less than 25 students. Thus it is possible that/ schools

which do not have data for a test did have some students take the test.

It is especially important to note the number of students tested when

reviewing these data. The small number tested .in many schools means the

results may not be representative of performance in the total school. Results

for small groups could be well above the average that would have resulted had

Cesmany more of the students in the. school taken the tests. This is because

thelie tests are generally taken by high achieving, college bound students.

The percentages of students taking the SAT and at least one achievement test

in each school are listed in Table 2.D.3.

The results reported for the SAT and achievement tests are for graduating

seniors the last time they took the test. That is, if they took, the test in

Grade 11 and not in Grade 12, their eleventh grade score would be included in

these results. If they took the test in the twelfth grade, only the twelfth

grade score would be included.

Analysis

No formal statistical (analyses were performed.

CAPPENDIX 13 7 TECHNICAL TESTING TERMS

The following terms are defined, 'their uses are' stated, and precautions

about their interpretation are provided The terms are listed in

alphabetical circler.

CRITERION-REF ENCED-TEST (CRT)

Definitiofi

A test based on specific learning objectives (or.teaching objectives),

usually within a narrow range of subject matter or skills. The tests

are designed to measure the knowledge or skills the student has

The Maryland Functional Reading Test (MFRT) is an example ofattained.

a CRT.

Use.

GRTs provide information about the extent to which the student has

attained the learning objective(s).

Precaution(s)

1. CUslrare often designed so a student can answer alI or almost allof the questions correctly or incorrectly depending on the extent

to which the student has attained the skills being measured. They

are not designed to yield information about' different levels of,

achievement and, therefore, cannot usually be used to rank

students on specific skills.

To be useful measures of specific skills, CRTs must have a

sufficient number of questions measuring each particular skill

included on the test. Although what is "sufficient" is not a4fixed--17Sivr, there should, in most cases, be at least five

questions which measure a skill. A test purporting to be a CRT

which has fewer than five questions per 4-ill should be viewed

with skepticism.

GRADE EQUIVALENT SCORES (GE)

Definition

The grade equivalent of a given raw score on any test estimates the

grade level at which the typical pupil achieveos this raw score. The

digit(s) to the left of the decimal point represent th4 grade; the

re-

-365-

o

digit to the right of the decimal point represents the month within the

-)trade according to the following table:

'9 4 June-August

An example of howa tes publisher might derive grade equivalents canbe useful in unders\tan ing GE. The exampIt presented below representsthe best methodologjUrrently in use. Many tests are nermed with

fewer samples.

If the publisher is norming a fourth grade test, be will test arepresentative sample in Grades 3, 4, and 5. In each grade, the

sample, or two comparable samples, will be tested in the fall(November) and the spring (April). Thus, the grade levels being tested

as 3.2, 3.7,'4.2, 4.7, 5.2, and 5.7. (Often publishers test only once

a year.. )

The average raw test score for the students in each group is computedand plotted on a graph similar to the one below. The mean scores are

indicated by ".".on the graph. All other grade-and-month values areestimated by interpolation between the means and extrapolation beyondthe means. The GEs beyond the grade range obistudents in the normingsample should be regarded as no better than rough estimates.

Use

GEs provide a familiar referent for test scores.

Precautions

1. The grade equivalent score does not indicate the grade level of

work at a student can perform. It 'simply estimates, the grade

lev of the typical student in the ,norming sample achieving a

given raw score. For example, suppose a fourth grade student has

a score With a grade' equivalent of '5.4 on a fourth grade test.

This does not mean that a fourth grade student can do. work which

is done in January in the fifth grade. It simplily estimates that

this student did as well on a fourth grade test as the typical

student in January of the fifth grade. However, remember that if

the norming sample for the fourth grade test di* not include 11)

fifth grade students, this estimate is very tentative.

2. Grade equivalent scores should not be added and subtracted because

they are not an equal distance apart at all points. They are

developed under an assumption that learning occurs equally during

tne school year. In fact, students tend to learn more at

different times in the year. From a strict astatistical point of

view, this lack of equal score intervals means that mean GE scores

should not be computed. However, if tne GE scores are converted

to Normal Curve Equivalent scores which do have this equal

interval quality, the mean score, computed from the converted

scores is generally very close to that computed from the GEs,

especially if the grade equivalentF, represent a wine range of

possible scores.

3. The attempt to build a scale based on the assumption of equal

learning cited,in Number 2 above results in differential GE gains

for raw score changes. What occurs is that a one raw score point

'change may cause a one-month change in GE at one place in the norm

table and a five-month gain elsewhere. The largest changes in GE,

generally happen in the extremes of score distribution.

An example of the unequal GE differences between raw scores is

shown below. These scores are taken from the ITBS seventh grade

spelling test.

Grade equivalents generally have a wider range at higher 'grade,

levels.V

This leads to the situation that a student who has the

same PR in trades 3 and 5 will probably be further above (or

below) the median in GE terms in Grade 5. ' This means that if

he/she hls a high PR in both grades the gain in GE terms will bemore than two years. 'If he/she has a low PR, the gain will beless than'two 6Es. Theretore, if a constant expected GE gain wereestablished for all students it would_ha*eelhigh for some and toolow for others. The example below from ITBS norms demonstrates

-this problem.

INTERQUARTILE RANGE

Definition

Quartiles are 'scores (points in a distrib4tion) that divide a score

distribution into quarters. Twenty-five percent of the scores are ator below the first quartile (Q1), 50 percent are at or below the secondquartile (Q2, which is also the median), and 75 percent are at or, belowthe third quartile (Q3). Tne interquartile range includes the band ofscores that lies between Ql and Q3, or the middle 50 percent of the

scores.

Use

By eliminating the effect of the lowest and highest quarters of the

distribution, the interquartile range provides a measure of how the

typical student§ in a group performed.

Precaution(s)

Eliminating the, extreme scores may be removing important information

such as the location of pockets of students needing compensatory or

gifted programs. If the median is Close to either quartile, it could

indicate a large number of students at that end of the distribution who

might require such services.

NORMAL CURVE

Definition

A normal curve is a distribution of scores or value* which, in graphicform, is bell-shaped as shown in Figure 4.2. In a normal curve

distribution, the mean and the median are at the same point. The

majority of the scores are clustered around the mean/median.

Sixty-eight percent of the scores are within one standard deviation of. the mean/median, and 95 percent are within two standard deviations.Scores which are more than three standard deviati6ns .from the

ean/median are rather rare, c,,Eurring less than 1 percent of the time.

Uses

Because of its well-documented statistical properties, the normal curve

distribution is 15f-ten used in reporting test scores as an aid in

interpreting scores of groups or individuals.

Precautions

The normal curve-,distribution is a statistical or mathematical ideal.

It is not a- graphic description of what a particular 4istribution,

should be; distributions which do not conform to the normal cdrve are

not "abnormal." - Many variables can affect the distribution of a'

particular set of scores: test content., difficulty of the test items,

suitability of the test for the group to which it is administered.

NORMAL CURVE EQUIVALENT SCORES (NCE)'-

Definition

NCEs divide the normal distribution into 99 segtnts, units, or scores

(Figure 4.2). Scores range from 1 -99, with a mean/median of 50. Nets

can be related Co percentile ranks as shown in the comparative scales

an Figure 4.2.

Uses

1. KEs can be subjected to arithmetic operations. Therefore, mean

NCEs can be computed, and differences in NCEs can be compared atall points in the scare distribution.'

2. NCEs can be used in analyses of group data (Tor reasons above).-

In addition, NCEs are scaled to reveal small changes, something

which stanine scores will not do consistently because of tne large

score range at each stanine point.

Precautions)

1. Use of NCEs for evaluating individualiz d performance is to be

done with caution.- A change of five NCE u its on a test score is

within the, error range for individuals on most standardizes

tests. However, since NCEs give a falkse s nse of precision- -and

hence of security--the careless test user could consider such a

change meaningful.r

2. NCEs are difficult to interpret when presented alone. After an

analysis his been performd on the basis 'of NCEs, results are

'often converted to some 1more readily understandable scale like

percentile ranks.

1 In a strict statistical sense, it- is probabLy incorrect to subject

any test scores to arithmetic operations. However-, NCEs, standard scores

with an underlying normal distribution, raw scores, and stanines come

closer than any other score scales to having equal-interval properties

which permit arithmetic operations.

NORM-REFERENCED TEST (NRT) ,

Definition /"../

A test dedigned to rank students according to the number of test itemsanswered correctly (i.e., according to rawscore). Ranking is usually

also done in relation to the performance of a norming sample. The, Iowa

Tests of Basic Skills is an example of an NRT.

Use

Norm-referenced tests provide information about which students know themost about the content included on the test.

Precaution(s)

i. A good NRT is designed to enable between 40-70 percent of the

examinees to answer any give4 item correctly. Many items' are

therefore to difficult for a majority of examinees to ,get right.This means tnat most NRTs lerei not very good tests of- what an

individual student knows (as opposed to criterion-referencedtests). Rqt4r, tney are measures of wno knows the most about thetest content.

NRTs often include only one or two questions which measure

achievement of a given skill or objective. Information about

student performance on a particular objective is, tnerefore,

usually not very reliable.

4NORMS

Definition

IP

Statistics tnat describe the test performance of specified groups, suchas students in a givefl grade, age range, type of community, etc.

Use

Norms provide a way of relating raw scores to a more meaningful score-scale, such a'S percentile ranks, stanines, grade equivalents, or a

standard score, so that it can be determined how a student performedrelative tg,a "representative' sample of students similar in some way.

Precaution(s)

1. Norming samples cannot be perfectly representative of a large

group of students. For most major standardized tests, publishersuse so011isticated sampling procedures to determine the norming

sample. However, there will always be a small error factor. This

means tJat caution mustbe used when comparing the scores from two

different tests or even from two levels of the same test becausethe levels may not have used the same group of students. The

following is an example 9f what might happen because of this. If

the students in the norniing sample for Test A are brighter/than

-372-

those in the sample for Test B, the norms for the two tests will

not be equivalent. A student, who then takes both tests will be

likely to attain a lower percentile rank on Test A hecatise he/she

is being compared to a brighter group of students on a eNx which

has "more difficult" norms.(sr'

2. Test publishers often provide norms for different times of the

year such as fall, winter, NG( spring. However, they may not have

used a norming sample at all o'f these times, which means that some

of the norms are estimates. A test manual should be consulted to

determine when a given test was norme.d. Estimated norms for any

other time of year should be viewed with caution.

4

3. Test norms are not necessarily derived every year, and therefore

some norms may be several years old. However, it is common

practice to compare current student performance on a given testwith the performance of the national norming sample Caution must

therefore be exercised in interpreting the meaning of' an

individual's status. For example, a student who tkok a test in

1978 and who achieved a percentile rank of 60 probably did not

score j4iigher than 60 percent of the students taking the test in

1978-"Rather, the individual scored higher than 60 percent of thestudents in the norming sample who took the test in the past, for

example in 1970.

4. The above considerations may weaken the usefulness of older

norms. If changes have occurred in curricula, current students

may- be better prepared in some skills or subjects than were

students in the norming sample, less well prepared, or simply

differently prepared. Thus, comparisons of percentile ranks

across years moy be clouded by changing curricula.

5. Norms are derive8 so that half of the representative group is

expected to be below average. This means that half'of the group

will be below grade level, below a percentile rank of 50, and

below the mean. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to have all

of the students in any large group perform above the average.

PERCENTILE RANK (PR)

Definition4

The percentage of students in the norming sample who scored at or below

a given score. For example, if a raw score of 30 has a percentile .rank

of 78, then 78 percent of theestudents in the norming sample scored at

or below 30 items correct.a

Use

ARs provide easily interpretable information about how a given

student's performance on a test compares to the performance of students

* in the norming sample.

-373-

433

Precaution(s)

\,,.

1. PRs should not be added 9# subtracted because they are not an

equal distance apart. at all Points. For example, Figure -3.2clearly shows that an increase of 10 points between percentileranks 45 and 55 is not the same distance as an increase of 10

t

points between percentile. ranks 85 and 95. A.pers n would have toshow a larger amount of improvement to achieve the econd increase.

2. On a test of fewer than 100 questions, it is not possible for

every whole number of the percentile rank ,scale- to have an

assoC.i'ated raw score. Therefore,- in such circumstances, a

one-point increase in raw score can cause an increase of severalpercentile rank units. What might appear to be substantialincrease on the percentile rank scale is really only an increaseof one additional question correct. This caveat applies to

virtually all tests in standardized batt,eries.

3. Percentile ranks shop not be confused with percentage of correct.answers (raw scores). They have completelyxlifferent meanings.

RAW SCORE

Definitionti

Tne number of questions or test items answered correctly.

Use

Raw scores can be used to report the number of questions answered

correct-TY.

Precaution(s)

1. A raw score nas no meaning other than the number of items answeredcorrectly. It provides no interpretative information.

2. Raw scores can be quite misleading when reported by themselvesbecause the meaning of raw scores differs from test to test. For

example, if one 50-item test is -easS, and ..one 50-item test is

difficult, a raw scoxe of 30 op the difficult test might representbetter performance than a raw score of 45 on the easier test.

3. Subjecting raw scores to arithmetic operations (ie., addition,

etc.) is a questionable procedure. Generally raw scores do nothive the equal interval property required for these ciperatiops.

This is because the same raw score can be obtained by differentstudents who get different combinations Of-items correct. These

items will most likely vary in their level of difficulty. Thus,

identical raw scores will possibly represent differential leveli

of achievement. .1(

I

RELIABILITY'

Definition

I

Reliability refers to the extent to which a test is consistent in hat

it measures. There are three major types of reliability, all expr ssed

as a coefficient ranging from 0 (complete lack of consistency) to 1

(perfect consistency).

1. Internal consistency is th4 degree-to whiih all the questions an a

test measure the same thing. For example, a mathematics test that

measures only addition of fractions will probably have a higher

internal consistency coefficient than one that measures several

different mathematical operations. This would be especially1.zimportant for achievement tests that measure specific skills.

2. Stibility is the degree to which a person will achieve the same

score on a test that is taken twice within a time period of

anything from a few days to a year pr two. This is important in

an instrument which measures a trait like natural ability which is

not expected to change over time.

3. Equivale is the -degree to which a person will achieve the same

score on two forms of the same test. This is important for any

test in which two forms are to ht' used interchangeably.

Use

Reliability is a measure of the quality of a test.

Precaution(s)

The type of reliability appropriate for a given testing situation,

should be used.

SIGN TEST 4

DefinitionK

A test of statistical significance which is based. on the number of

increases (+) and decreases (-) in a set of comparisons. If the

pattern of pluses and minuses deviates substantially from an even

split, the pattern is considered significant.

Use

To determine if a pattern of increases and decreases deviates from an

_even split enough to indicate a significant trend.

Precaution

1. The sign test indicates only if the overall trenciaLilicreases and

decreases is significant. It does not p ovide any information asto whether individual increases or decrea es are significant.

:375-

435

d#1. Ar

2. , The size of a difference. i-s irrelev nt. For example, this test

does not differentiate between an ncrease of 1 point or 30

points. They bot,h simply count as a plus.

STANDARD DEVIATION (SD)

De finition

A measure of the dispergtA in a set of scores. The closer the scores

cluster around the mean, the smaller the SD will be. 1

Us'e

As a meisure of the spread it a set f scores, the SD can be used to

assist in determining the degree of ortance of score differences.

For difference of 2 points Would probably noAhave m4 meaning if the SD were 20 but could be quite important if the SD were 0.5.

STANDARD ERROR OF MEASUREMENT (SEM),r

Definition;

Tice' S2M is an estimate of the magnitude of erro n a test score,

Possible causes of error in scores include lucky'o nlucky guesses, a

student's not feeling well or failing to follow directions, the fact

that test questiorls may be only a sample of those that could be asked,

sloppiness, laziness,'etc.4

Use

1. The SEM provides a way of determining the possible fluctcrat,ion in

test scores which would be obtained if an individual were 'to take

the same test a number of times. It indicates how far a

particular obtained 'score might deviate from the individual's

"true" score the score tip individual would obtain if there were

no error in the test). It is ually assumed thas the scores

obtained from repeated testing wou conform to the normal curve

distribution. Therefore, in practi , it is assumed that there is

a probability of 68:100 that the "tr " score is within one SEM of

the obtained score and that ther a probability Of 95:100 that

the obtained sc s within two S of the obtained score.

The SEM can be used in significance testing to provide a way of

determining whether differences in :test scores or group mean

scores are statistically significant (that they vary more than can

be reasonably attriVited to testing error).

STANINE

Definition

'A stanin* is one of the scores of a nine-point division of ths fformaldistribution. Stanine scores range from 1 to 9 with a mean alit median

of 5. As shown in Figure 3.2, each stanine has a range of

corresponding percentile ranks or.raw sco*s.

Usea

1. Stanines can be subjected to arithmetic operations (addition,

etc.). There Sore, the mean of distributions can be computed, anddifferences in stanine scores can 6e compared at all points in thedistributiob except in some cases, at the extreme stanine scores

of 1 and 9.

2. Stanines do. not give a false sense of accuracy of a given score

.because each stanine covers 'a range of raw'scores. The stanine

scale is therefore useful for reporting individuals' scores.

Differences in stanine.s are more-likely to represent change beyond

that which cafi be attributed to error than are other kinds of

scores.

Precaution(s)

As can be seen in Figur,e*3.2, interpretation of differences in stanine

cores is clouded by the range within a given stanine. For example, if

Jan individual's score increases from the top of the Stanine-3 range tothe bottom of tne Stanine-5 range, it represents less improvement thanan increase from the bottom of the Stanine-3 range to the top of the

Stanine-4 range. However, on tursory examination it would seem as if

the first increase were the greater.

STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE TEST

Definition

A significance test is a statistical procedure used to determine if two

(or more) groups differ on a trait more than could jermally be expectedif testing error or sampling error were assumed to be the cause of tne

difference.

Use

Under highly controlled copditions (as in experiments, 6tc.), 15Nts/of

statistical significance are used to test - hypotheses. When variables

cannot be controlle&(as in the countywide testing program), the

results from such a test are open to question.

Precaution(s)

1. Results of significance tests are reported as probability

statements. If the reported probability is less than .01, the

chance is less than 1:100 that the difference between groups can

be attributed to testing error. If the probability is .001, the

chance is less than 1:1000 that the difference can be attributed

to testing error. However, thete is always some chance (1:1000,

etc.) that the difference was caused by error.

2. When a large number of tests of significance_ are performed, sometdifferences will turn out o be statistically significant by

chance alone. That is, since there is always some Chance that adifference Can be caused by error (1:20, 1:100, 1:1050, etc.), a

certain number of significant differences can be expected to occur

because of error. There is noway to determine if a particular

statistically significant diffdrence was or was not caused by

error. Again, only a probability can be determined.

3 When tests of Significance are used to evaluate the difference of

means, the larger the group the smaller the difference in means

needs to bel for statistical significance. The smaller the group

the larger the difference must be. For example, a difference of

only 1-2 months on th

0grade equivalent scale, or a fraction of a

raw-score point, fai be statistically Significant for groups of

several thousand students. In contrast, a difference of as much

as six months may be required cir significance with a group of one

huT idre-4,students. Because'many of the comparisons in this reportinvolve very large groups, no significant tests ol differences and

means were performed. While small differences would have been

statistically significant, they would not have been educationallymeaningful.

VALIDITY

Definition

The extent to which a test does the job or which it is used. There

are three mayor types of validitythat a test may possess.

1. Content validity is most important for achievement tests. This

requires a test to contain questions that adequately reflect the

content the test is supposed to measure.

2. Criterion-related validity is most important for placement tests,

college admissions tests, or tests on which employment decisionsare based. Performance on the test must be highly correlated withperformance in the program, success in cdliege/ or success on thejob fore which the test is a screening instrument.

3. Construct validity is most important.-Aispsychological instruments.

Tests of ,ability are examples of sua instruments. Construct

validity requires that the test adequately discriminate between

people who do or do not have a particular trait.
