Multidimensional Student Assessments for High School Mathematics and Science

这项拟议的研究使用多维方法来验证学生在高中数学和科学方面的成就结构。它阐述了学生成绩的指标，以提高大规模教育调查的有效性。具体地说，它使用NELS：88高中效果研究(HSES)确定了数学和推理测试中的知识和推理成分，这些成分既是多项选择，也是建构性反应。它分析了不同性别和种族的学生的建构性反应任务：它扩展了国家教育进步评估(NAEP)的建构性方法，并开发了在项目结构验证中进行访谈研究的改进程序。它还将为其他应用学生测试多维评分的调查人员制定指导方针。

This proposed research uses a multidimensional approach to validating the constructs of student achievement in high school mathematics and science. It elaborates and indicator of student achievement to enhance the validity of large scale education surveys. Specifically it identifies knowledge and reasoning components of mathematics and reasoning test that are both multiple choice and constructed response using the NELS:88 High School Effects Study (HSES). It analyses the constructed response tasks for con students of different gender and ethnicity's: it extends the construct approach to the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) and develops improved procedures for conduction interview studies in item construct validation. It also will develop guidelines for other investigators who apply multidimensional scoring of student test.
