Using NAEP Mathematics Items to Understand State Education Policies: A Multilevel Analysis

该项目旨在调查国家教育进展评估(NAEP)测试项目的州与州之间的差异，以确定国家政策如何影响NAEP成绩的变化。这项研究解决了评估国家政策对学生成绩的贡献的问题。该项目的目的是开发改革实践对学生成绩影响的实证测量方法。它将分析个别项目的内容，以便更好地衡量可能受到该国政策影响的学生学习的具体方面。此外，他们还将建立一个国家政策增值的数学模型。

This project seeks to investigate State-to-State differences in National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) test items to determine how state policies have affected changes in NAEP scores. The study addresses the problem of assessing the contributions of State policies on student achievement. The purpose of the project is to develop empirical measures for the effects on student achievement of reform practices. It would analyze the content of individual items to better measure specific aspects of student learning that might have been affected by the policies of that State. Also, they would build a mathematical model of the value-added of state policies.
