| | Series: | Out-of-Level Testing Project Report 8 | | Author: | Bielinski, John; Thurlow, Martha; Minnema, Jane; Scott, Jim | | Publication Date: | 2002 | | Abstract: | Out-of-level testing is the practice of giving students a test intended for students in a lower (or higher) grade. Fourteen states currently permit out-of-level testing in their statewide testing programs. This number has risen dramatically since 1999, despite growing concern about the implications for students who take an out-of-level test instead of the on-grade level test. Among the concerns are the possibility that: (a) the out-of-level test may not represent a sound measure of performance against state standards, (b) out-of-level testing may result in lowered expectations, and (c) the score a student receives on the out-of-level test may not be comparable to the score the student would have obtained on the in-level test. The present study addresses the third concern using a norm-referenced test and does not address the first two concerns.
In this study, special education teachers identified students with learning disabilities who were working on math skills usually taught two grades prior to the grade in which the student was enrolled. Each student took two levels of the MAT/7 math computation test, an on-grade test and an out-of-level test intended for students two grades below the grade in which the students in this study were enrolled. All levels of the MAT/7 are statistically linked to permit score comparisons across levels. | | Publisher: | National Center on Educational Outcomes (NCEO) | | Pages: | | | Format: | HTML | | Target Age: | | | Intended Audience: | | | HTML Version: | http://cehd.umn.edu/NCEO/OnlinePubs/OOLT8.html | | PDF Version: | |
