The Predicitve Validity of the Grade Ten New Standards Reference Examination in English/Language Arts in an Urban School District.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
This study describes how the Grade Ten New Standards Reference Examination is used in an urban school district to predict student achievement on the Grade Eleven Pennsylvania State System of Assessment. It was hypothesized that proficient scores on the New Standards Reference Examination are closely associated with high scores on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment. It was found that a high correlation of agreement exists between the two assessments on proficiency levels which support the hypothesis that the Grade Ten New Standards Reference Examination is a valid predictor of how well students will perform on the Grade Eleven Pennsylvania System of School Assessment.
