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? The analyses indicate a high degree of congruence between SEDA growth estimates and estimates derived from the vertically scaled MAP Growth assessment. → Megan Kuhfeld 2019

AERA Open 5(2). https://www.nwea.org/research/publication/validating-the-seda-measures-of-district-educational-opportunities-via-a-common-assessment/ doi:10.1177/2332858419858324
q3 · i? · associational · r?
Overall conclusion of the convergent validity analysis reported in the abstract: the authors state their analyses "indicate a high degree of congruence" between SEDA and vertically scaled MAP Growth estimates. No overall effect size beyond the reported correlations is printed.
"Our analyses indicate a high degree of congruence between the SEDA estimates and estimates derived from the vertically scaled MAP Growth assessment."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Discrepancies between SEDA and MAP Growth ELA growth estimates are slightly more pronounced in high-socioeconomic-status districts — related
- Small systematic discrepancies imply SEDA growth estimates may not generalize to MAP Growth-based estimates in some states — related
- SEDA and MAP Growth district growth estimates in ELA correlate at .82 (precision-adjusted) — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- SEDA and MAP Growth district growth estimates in mathematics correlate at .90 (precision-adjusted) — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Validation research via a common assessment supports SEDA achievement scores — related
- SEDA growth estimates show differences from common-assessment-based estimates — reports the opposite
- Study findings are limited to one state, a low-stakes assessment, and a sample lacking student-level socioeconomic, special education, and English learner covariates — related
