Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Marginal reliability was high across all grades for fall 2020 MAP Growth tests regardless of administration mode. → Megan Kuhfeld 2020

q2 · i? · associational · r2
The brief reports "high levels of marginal reliability" across all grades as a headline finding of the comparability analysis of over 535,000 K-8 students' test scores.
"We found high levels of marginal reliability and test engagement across all grades, as well as consistent trends in test scores for remote and in-person tests for students in grades 3-8."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The dashboard primarily focuses on grades 3 through 8 because remote and in-person MAP Growth results are largely comparable for grades 3 and up — related
- Remote and in-person fall 2020 MAP Growth tests show comparable psychometric characteristics and indicators of test quality — a broader claim this one bears on
- Findings of reliability, engagement, and consistent score trends increase confidence in the quality of remotely administered MAP Growth data in grades 3 and up — related
- Spanish Math and Reading scores show high marginal reliability and moderate-to-strong test-retest stability, lowest for fall–spring and kindergarten — related
