RIPM Technical Report #36: Monitoring Mathematics Progress in Middle School

2012

This study extends work on middle school mathematics measures by providing an exploratory examination of their use for progress monitoring. Six teachers (two general education and four special education) administered six different middle school mathematics progress monitoring measures to their students in grades five to eight over a period of four months. Three research questions were investigated, examining the reliability, criterion validity, and sensitivity to growth of the measures when administered on a more frequent basis. Results indicated that teacher administration of the measures results in more variable levels of alternate form reliability than have been obtained in previous studies in which the researchers administered the measures.
