q2 · i? · associational · r2
The study of the Spring 2019 state summative assessment found subgroup differences in disengagement rates across the six named student characteristics. The abstract states rates "vary materially" but prints no effect sizes or subgroup-specific statistics.
"Disengagement rates on the state summative test were also found to vary materially across gender, ethnicity, Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) status, Limited English Proficient (LEP) status, free and reduced lunch (FRL) status, and disability status."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Learning Disabilities and Developmental Differences — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
- English-Learner Status — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Disengagement has a material impact on individual state summative test scores, though its impact on score aggregations may be relatively minor — related
- A meaningful percentage of Grade 8 state summative test events showed rapid guessing, varying by subject: 5.5% in mathematics, 6.7% in ELA, and 3.5% in science — related
- Disengaged test-taking rates varied greatly by subgroup, grade, and term in this sample — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Disengagement had only minimal impact on school mean performance, proficiency rates, and relative ranking on the state accountability test — related
- Subgroup categories such as FRL eligibility and multilingual learner status mask wide within-category variation — related
