Description¶
A dataset of fall 2020 NWEA MAP Growth assessment scores from more than 535,000 K–8 students in 147 districts, assembled and analyzed by Megan Kuhfeld and colleagues to compare remotely and in-person administered tests.
Components¶
- Fall 2020 MAP Growth remote-versus-in-person comparability dataset (over 535,000 K-8 students in 147 districts): The analysis draws on test scores from "over 535,000 K-8 students in 147 school districts", of which 92 operated fully remotely in fall 2020 and 55 offered in-person instruction to all students. This large observational dataset underpins the brief's reliability, engagement, and score-trend comparability findings for remotely and in-person administered MAP Growth assessments. (Megan Kuhfeld et al. (2020))
Claims¶
- Fall 2020 MAP Growth tests showed high levels of marginal reliability across all grades in both remote and in-person administration [+M]
- Test engagement was high across all grades on fall 2020 MAP Growth tests in both administration modes [+M]
- Remote and in-person MAP Growth test scores showed consistent trends for students in grades 3-8 in fall 2020 [+M]
- Remote and in-person fall 2020 MAP Growth tests show comparable psychometric characteristics and indicators of test quality [+M]
- Findings of reliability, engagement, and consistent score trends increase confidence in the quality of remotely administered MAP Growth data in grades 3 and up [+M]
- 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 [+M]
