Book excerpt: Since its inception in 1969, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has been regularly assessing the nation's students in public and private schools, serving as a barometer of educational attainment. This report in brief is excerpted from "NAEP 1992 Trends in Academic Progress," which presents trend data in science, mathematics, reading, and writing. Approximately 31,000 students were involved in NAEP's 1992 trend assessments. Student performance is characterized at five levels along the proficiency scales, and percentages of students reaching each level are presented. For reading and writing, results are also presented for individual tasks. In general, trends in science and mathematics show noteworthy improvements since 1983, while trends for reading show slow declines for the same period. Writing performance has been relatively stable for grades 11 and 4, with a recent improvement for grade 8 that awaits support in subsequent years. Eleven tables and four figures present trend data in brief form. (SLD)

Book excerpt: The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has served as the only ongoing monitor of student achievement in the United States across time. This report summarizes major findings from 10 administrations of the long-term reading assessment since 1971, 9 administrations of the long-term trend mathematics assessment since 1973, and 10 administrations of the long-term trend science assessment since 1969 and 1970. Generally, the trends in mathematics and science are characterized by declines in the 1970s followed by increases during the 1980s and early 1990s and mostly stable performance since then. Some gains are evidenced in reading, but they are modest. Overall improvement across the assessment years is most evidenced in mathematics. National trends are reported in the three subject areas, by quartiles, and in the attainment of performance levels. Trends in academic achievement among student subgroups are reported for racial and ethnic groups and for males and females and by parents' educational level, and for public and nonpublic students. Trends are also reported for students' school and home experiences as they have reported them over the years. Appendixes contain an overview of the procedures used in the NAEP trend assessments and a review of NAEP data. (Contains 59 figures.) (SLD)

Book excerpt: "This report presents the results of NAEP long-term trend assessments in reading and mathematics, which were most recently administered in 2004 to students ages 9, 13, and 17. Because the assessments have been administered at different times in the 35-year history of NAEP, they make it possible to chart educational progress since 1971 in reading and 1973 in mathematics"--Page iii.

This book was released on 1999-01-06 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1960s, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)--the nation's report card--has been the only continuing measure of student achievement in key subject areas. Increasingly, educators and policymakers have expected NAEP to serve as a lever for education reform and many other purposes beyond its original role. Grading the Nation's Report Card examines ways NAEP can be strengthened to provide more informative portrayals of student achievement and the school and system factors that influence it. The committee offers specific recommendations and strategies for improving NAEP's effectiveness and utility, including: Linking achievement data to other education indicators. Streamlining data collection and other aspects of its design. Including students with disabilities and English-language learners. Revamping the process by which achievement levels are set. The book explores how to improve NAEP framework documents--which identify knowledge and skills to be assessed--with a clearer eye toward the inferences that will be drawn from the results. What should the nation expect from NAEP? What should NAEP do to meet these expectations? This book provides a blueprint for a new paradigm, important to education policymakers, professors, and students, as well as school administrators and teachers, and education advocates.

Book excerpt: This report presents the results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) long-term trend assessments in reading and mathematics, which were most recently given in the 2007-2008 school year to students at ages 9, 13, and 17. Nationally representative samples of over 26,000 public and private school students were assessed in each subject area. The most recent results are compared to those from 2004 and from the first year the assessment was conducted: the reading assessment was first administered in 1971, and the mathematics assessment was first administered in 1973. The long-term trend program has used essentially the same assessments in each administration year to provide data that can be used to evaluate changes in student performance over long periods of time. In 2004, a number of changes were made to the long-term trend assessment to update the assessment content and procedures while maintaining the ability to report trends over the long term. Some of the changes included replacing questions that were based on outdated contexts; changing some administration procedures; and providing accommodations for students with disabilities and for English language learners. These revisions did not alter the knowledge and skills that are assessed by the long-term trend assessments. In reading, average scores increased at all three ages since 2004. Average scores were 12 points higher than in 1971 for 9-year-olds and 4 points higher for 13-year-olds. The average reading score for 17-year-olds was not significantly different from that in 1971. In mathematics, average scores for 9- and 13-year-olds increased since 2004, while the average score for 17-year-olds did not change significantly. Average scores were 24 points higher than in 1973 for 9-year-olds and 15 points higher for 13-year-olds. The average mathematics score for 17-year-olds was not significantly different from that in 1973. (Contains 1 footnote, 21 figures and 9 tables.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), known as the nation's report card, has chronicled students' academic achievement in America for over a quarter of a century. It has been a valued source of information about students' performance, providing the best available trend data on the academic achievement of elementary, middle, and secondary school students in key subject areas. NAEP's prominence and the important need for stable and accurate measures of academic achievement call for evaluation of the program and an analysis of the extent to which its results are reasonable, valid, and informative to the public. This volume of papers considers the use and application of NAEP. It provides technical background to the recently published book, Grading the Nation's Report Card: Evaluating NAEP and Transforming the Assessment of Educational Progress (NRC, 1999), with papers on four key topics: NAEP's assessment development, content validity, design and use, and more broadly, the design of education indicator systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of NAEP long-term trend assessments in reading and mathematics, which were most recently administered in 2004 to students ages 9, 13, and 17. Because the assessments have been administered at different times in the 35-year history of NAEP, they make it possible to chart educational progress since 1971 in reading and 1973 in mathematics. Prior to 2004, the most recent long-term trend assessment was given in 1999, when results were reported for reading, mathematics, and science. The specific focus of this long-term trend report is to compare student performance in 2004 to past performance, measured by the most recent assessment in 1999 and previous assessments back to the early 1970s. Chapter 2 presents trends in terms of overall scale scores, percentiles, and percentages at selected performance levels for the nation. Chapter 3 examines trends in average scale scores for groups of students defined by gender, race/ethnicity, and the education level of the student?s parents. Chapter 4 reports results from the NAEP long-term trend background questionnaires. In this chapter, students? school and home experiences, as shown in their responses to the background questions, are examined in relation to students? assessment scores. Chapter 5 explores the differences between the bridge assessment administered under the procedures used for earlier assessments and the modified assessment with the new design elements. The last chapter in this report provides sample items from the NAEP long-term trend assessments. For the first time, NCES is releasing items from the assessment, along with summary data that indicate how well students performed on these items. It also contains three appendixes. Appendix A discusses technical procedures involved in collecting, analyzing, and reporting the assessment data, and appendix B is a data appendix showing the percentages of participating students in the bridge and modified samples by student groups.
