Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SOLARO Study Guide is designed to help students achieve success in school. It is a complete guide to be used by students throughout the school year for reviewing and understanding course content, and for preparing for assessments. The content in Texas High School Chemistry is specifically aligned to the Texas state standards for those who intend to have students complete chemistry by the end of high school. Each Class Focus includes the following sections: Nature of Matter; the Periodic Table; Atomic Theory; Chemical Bonding; Chemical Reactions; Gases; Solutions, Acids and Bases; Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions; and Nuclear Chemistry. To create this book, teachers, curriculum specialists, and assessment experts have worked closely to develop the instructional pieces that explain each of the key concepts for the course. The practice questions and sample tests have detailed solutions that show problem-solving methods, highlight concepts that are likely to be tested, and point out potential sources of errors. Enhanced treatment of concepts, more practice sections, and additional learning tools are found in the accompanying online version of SOLARO which may be accessed through the web or on mobile devices.
Download or read book Predicting Student Success on the Texas Chemistry STAAR Test written by William L. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The context is the new Texas STAAR end-of-course testing program. Purpose: The authors developed a logistic regression model to predict who would pass-or-fail the new Texas chemistry STAAR end-of-course exam. Setting: Robert E. Lee High School (5A) with an enrollment of 2700 students, Tyler, Texas. Date of the study was the 2011-2012 academic year. Study Sample: A sample of n = 100 students from the author's chemistry classes (32 high school sophomores and 68 high school juniors). Intervention: Developed a binary logistic regression prediction model (no control group applicable). Research Design: Statistical Modeling. Control or Comparison Condition: Control or comparison group--not applicable for the study. Data Collection and Analysis: The students' (n = 100) STAAR test scores from the new Texas end-of-course chemistry pilot test were analyzed in the 2011-2012 school year. Variables included in the logistic regression model were as follows: Students' previous years science TAKS test scores (raw data); science TAKS scores and STAAR end-of-course scores coded pass (1) or fail (0) as categorical variables; and students' grade level coded sophomore (0) or junior (1) as categorical variables. Findings: A binary logistic regression analysis was performed using the new Texas end-of-course pilot chemistry STAAR test scores as the dependent variable (DV) and the previous year's science TAKS scores and grade level as predictor variables. A total of n = 100 cases were analyzed, and the full model was significantly reliable (chi-square = 102.568, df = 2, p less than 0.000). This model accounted for between 64.1% and 85.9% of the variance in STAAR status, with 92.9% of the students passing the STAAR test successfully predicted and 93.2% of students failing the STAAR test successfully predicted. Overall, 93.0% of the predictions were correct. The Wald statistic showed that the TAKS raw score reliably predicted passing or failing the STAAR end-of-course chemistry test. Conclusion: The binary logistic regression model was significantly reliable (chi-square = 102.568, df = 2, p less than 0.000). Overall, 93% of the predictions were correct. The model had a very high predictive outcome. Logistic Regression Variables are appended to this document.
Download or read book Meeting the Challenges to Measurement in an Era of Accountability written by Henry Braun and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under pressure and support from the federal government, states have increasingly turned to indicators based on student test scores to evaluate teachers and schools, as well as students themselves. The focus thus far has been on test scores in those subject areas where there is a sequence of consecutive tests, such as in mathematics or English/language arts with a focus on grades 4-8. Teachers in these subject areas, however, constitute less than thirty percent of the teacher workforce in a district. Comparatively little has been written about the measurement of achievement in the other grades and subjects. This volume seeks to remedy this imbalance by focusing on the assessment of student achievement in a broad range of grade levels and subject areas, with particular attention to their use in the evaluation of teachers and schools in all. It addresses traditional end-of-course tests, as well as alternative measures such as portfolios, exhibitions, and student learning objectives. In each case, issues related to design and development, psychometric considerations, and validity challenges are covered from both a generic and a content-specific perspective. The NCME Applications of Educational Measurement and Assessment series includes edited volumes designed to inform research-based applications of educational measurement and assessment. Edited by leading experts, these books are comprehensive and practical resources on the latest developments in the field.

Download or read book State Assessment Policy and Practice for English Language Learners written by Charlene Rivera and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State Assessment Policy and Practice for English Language Learners presents three significant studies, each examining a different aspect of states' strategies for including English language learners in state assessments. *an Analysis of State Assessment Policies Regarding Accommodations for English Language Learners; *a Survey and Description of Test Translation Practices; and *an Examination of State Practices for Reporting Participation and Performance of English Language Learners in State Assessments. With the rise in population of English language learners and the subsequent stepped-up legislative focus on this student population over the past decade, states have been challenged to include English language learners in state assessment programs. Until now, the little data available on states' policies and practices for meeting this challenge has been embedded in various reports and professional journals and scattered across the Internet. This volume offers, for the first time, a focused examination of states' assessment policies and practices regarding English language learners. The three studies were supported by OELA, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement for Limited English Proficient Students. State Assessment Policy and Practice for English Language Learners is of interest to researchers and professionals involved with the assessment of English language learners; state- and district-level policy makers; and academics, teacher educators, and graduate students in a number of fields, including educational and psychological assessment, testing and measurement, bilingual education, English as a second language, and second language acquisition.
