Learner Variables¶

• Age and Developmental Stage — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• American Indian/Alaska Native students showed higher disengagement under remote testing than in-school testing — related
• The grade-level disengagement pattern was not meaningfully different between remote and in-school testing — related
• Student test-taking disengagement on remotely administered adaptive interim assessments differs from disengagement on the same assessment administered in school — related
• Test engagement was high across all grades on fall 2020 MAP Growth tests in both administration modes — reports the opposite
• Rapid-guessing behavior on computer-based tests signals disengaged test taking that threatens score validity — a broader claim this one bears on
