Final Report: Alignment Between the 2013 NAEP Grade 8 Mathematics Assessment and ACT EXPLORE® Mathematics Assessment
NORC AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, 2015, GRADE 8
Study analyzing the degree of content alignment between the 2013 NAEP Grade 8 Mathematics assessments and the ACT EXPLORE Mathematics assessment.
This report analyzes and reports on the degree of content alignment between the 2013 NAEP Grade 8 Mathematics assessments and the ACT EXPLORE Mathematics assessment. The study design is comprised of a qualitative comparison of each assessment's framework and items, conducted in February 2015, and a series of alignment activities designed to investigate the degree of alignment between the pairs of assessments and frameworks. For mathematics, the studies compared the two assessments—NAEP and EXPLORE—to the 2013 NAEP Framework and to the ACT College Readiness Standards (CRS).
The appendices for this NORC report "Alignment between the 2013 NAEP Grade 8 Mathematics Assessment and ACT EXPLORE Mathematics Assessment" include several resources, including the design document, agenda, training materials, DOK values for each framework objective, and participant surveys.
