Subclaims¶
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.
q3 i? Across initial-to-retest disengagement combinations, reduced rapid guessing on retest was associated with RIT score gains and increased rapid guessing with declines, sometimes exceeding 10 RIT points. → Wise 2019
Evidence¶
Wise 2019¶
Wise, S. (2019). The Relationship Between Test-Taking Disengagement and Performance on MAP Growth Retests. (The Collaborative for Student Growth at NWEA Working Paper). https://www.nwea.org/research/publication/the-relationship-between-test-taking-disengagement-and-performance-on-map-growth-retests/
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Large-scale observational analysis of MAP Growth test events comparing RIT scores of students retested within one day, across four disengagement levels on each test event. The article reports mean gains and declines exceeded 10 RIT points in several instances; no effect sizes are printed.
"regardless of disengagement on the initial test event, students who exhibited less rapid guessing during the retest tended to see score gains, while those who exhibited increased rapid guessing saw score declines. In several instances, the magnitude of these mean gains or declines exceeded 10 RIT points."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Test-taking disengagement frequently differs between a MAP Growth initial test and a same-day retest — related
- E-M scoring partially accounts for observed RIT score differences between disengaged first tests and engaged retests — related
- Test takers tend to increase their time efficiency during MAP test events, an effect the author observed in data from 2 very different testing programs — related
- Rapid guesses on MAP Growth reflect a lack of engagement rather than a lack of knowledge — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Seriously disengaged initial testers who stopped rapid-guessing on retest showed large RIT gains, averaging about 6 points in Reading and 12 in Math — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
