Online Assessment in Mathematics and Writing: Reports From the NAEP Technology-Based Assessment Project, Research and Development Series

摘要

This publication presents the reports from two studies, Math Online (MOL) and Writing Online (WOL), part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Technology-Based Assessment (TBA) project. Funded by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the Technology-Based Assessment project is intended to explore the use of new technology in NAEP. The TBA project focuses on several key questions: 1. What are the measurement implications of using technology-based assessment in NAEP; 2. What are the implications for equity; 3. What are the efficiency implications of using technology-based assessment compared with paper and pencil; 4. What are the operational implications of technology-based assessment. To answer these questions, the NAEP program undertook three empirical studies with students: Math Online (MOL), Writing Online (WOL), and Problem Solving in Technology-Rich Environments (TRE). These studies together address the questions above.
