Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Naturalization Test Redesign Project: Civics Item Selection Analysis" provides an overview of the development of content items for the U.S. history and government (civics) portion of the redesigned naturalization test. This document also reviews the process used to gather and analyze data from multiple studies to determine which civics test items to maintain, revise, or eliminate. The data presented was compiled from two sources: a Pilot Study and a Supplemental Study. The Pilot Study serves as the primary source of data and was conducted at ten randomly selected U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offices throughout the nation. In the Pilot Study, applicants who chose to participate had ample time to study the civics questions for the naturalization test. Taking into account the regulatory mandate requiring "due consideration" (8 CFR 312.2(c)(2)), a Supplemental Study was conducted to identify items that would be appropriate for low and high-beginning students. The Supplemental Study was conducted at English as a second language (ESL)/citizenship classes where prospective applicants were pursuing classroom education to prepare for the naturalization test and interview. In this study, USCIS focused on lower-level adult civics and citizenship classes. The purpose was to examine how individuals who were preparing for the English and civics portions of the naturalization test would compare with applicants who had already filed for naturalization and were, therefore, more likely ready to take the test. Data from this study provided USCIS with an indicator to determine item difficulty for a specific population. Lastly, this document presents performance ranges on individual test items for both studies as well as selection codes to indicate the rationale for keeping an item "as is," revising the item, or discarding the item completely. Appendices include: (1) Civics (History and Government) Items for the Pilot Naturalization Test; (2) Final Civics (History and Government) Items for the Redesigned Naturalization Test; and (3) List of Supporting Tables. (Contains 46 tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issues-based reference work (available in both print and electronic formats) shines a spotlight on immigration policy in the United States. The U.S. is a nation of immigrants. Yet while the lofty words enshrined with the Statue of Liberty stand as a source of national pride, the rhetoric and politics surrounding immigration policy all-too-often have proven far less lofty. In reality, the apparently open invitation of Lady Liberty seldom has been without restriction. Throughout our history, impassioned debates about the appropriate scope and nature of such restriction have emerged and mushroomed, among politicians, among scholars of public policy, among the general public. In light of the need to keep students, researchers, and other interested readers informed and up-to-date on status of U.S. immigration policy, this volume uses introductory essays followed by point/counterpoint articles to explore prominent and perennially important debates, providing readers with views on multiple sides of this complex issue. While there are some brief works looking at debates on immigration, as well as some general A-to-Z encyclopedias, we offer more in-depth coverage of a much wider range of themes and issues, thus providing the only fully comprehensive point/counterpoint handbook tackling the issues that political science, history, and sociology majors are asked to explore and to write about as students and that they will grapple with later as policy makers and citizens. Features & Benefits: The volume is divided into three sections, each with its own Section Editor: Labor & Economic Debates (Judith Gans), Social & Cultural Debates (Judith Gans), and Political & Legal Debates (Daniel Tichenor). Sections open with a Preface by the Section Editor to introduce the broad theme at hand and provide historical underpinnings. Each section holds 12 chapters addressing varied aspects of the broad theme of the section. Chapters open with an objective, lead-in piece (or "headnote") followed by a point article and a counterpoint article. All pieces (headnote, point article, counterpoint article) are signed. For each chapter, students are referred to further readings, data sources, and other resources as a jumping-off spot for further research and more in-depth exploration. Finally, volume concludes with a comprehensive index, and the electronic version includes search-and-browse features, as well as the ability to link to further readings cited within chapters should they be available to the library in electronic format.
