The Pennsylvania System of School AssessmentChapter 1: Introduction

PSSA: The Pennsylvania System of School AssessmentThe purposes of the 2001 statewide assessment component of the Pennsylvania System ofSchool Assessment, as specified in the new Chapter 4 Regulations, include providing:

(1) an understanding of the students’ and schools’ achievement of the academic standardsto students, parents, educators and community citizens, (2) a measure of the degree towhich school programs enable students to attain the academic standards, (3) results toschool districts, charter schools and AVTSs, Intermediate Units, Private ResidentialRehabilatative Institutions, Approved Private Schools, Non-public and private schools foruse in their strategic plans, (4) information to the general public and state policymakersregarding school achievement of the academic standards, and (5) aggregated results for allstudents as well as for Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and non-IEP students.

The broad purpose of the State Assessments is to provide information to teachers andschools to guide the redesign of curricula and instructional strategies to enable students toachieve the academic standards. The areas assessed in 2001 are mathematics and readingat grades 5, 8 and 11. The Department strongly discourages the use of this testinginformation for the purpose of “ranking” schools.

Types of Assessment Measures

The PSSA mathematics assessment employs two types of test items: multiple-choice andopen-ended. These provide differing types of information about mathematicsachievement.

Multiple-Choice Items

The majority of the mathematics items included in the PSSA are multiple-choice items.Multiple-choice questions are also termed “selected-response” since students choose theiranswers from among those provided. Such items are an efficient means of assessing abroad range of curriculum. They are relatively easy to develop and can be administered ina short amount of time.

In the PSSA mathematics assessment, all multiple-choice items have only one correctresponse choice, and the student is awarded one point for choosing it. For all items,students are provided with four response choices.

Multiple-choice questions can be used to assess a variety of skill levels, from short-termrecall of facts to problem solving. The great majority of the PSSA multiple-choicemathematics questions require students to carry out some process to find their answers,rather than simply recalling information from memory.

Open-Ended Tasks

Open-ended tasks require students to read a problem or task description and to write outtheir answers. Major components of such answers are both students’ clear presentationsof their computations and their explanations of the steps they followed in solving theproblem. The types of tasks utilized do not always require solving a problem involvingcomputations. Students may also be asked to perform such tasks as drawing a graph,shading some portion of a figure or listing object combinations that meet specifiedcriteria.

Open-ended tasks are especially useful for measuring students’ problem-solving skills inmathematics. In most of these tasks students are asked to show how they arrived at ananswer or what thinking was behind the answer they gave. The tasks present real-lifesituations that require students to solve problems using math abilities learned in theclassroom. There are no response choices on the page as with multiple-choice items.Students must read the task carefully, select the necessary information, devise a methodof solution, perform the calculations, enter the response directly on the page on which thetask is presented and explain the procedure to support the given response. This providesinsight into the students’ knowledge, mathematical abilities and reasoning processes.

Page 6: 2001 Reading and Mathematics PSSA Technical Analysis - PA.Gov

Open-ended tasks are scored in terms of a continuum of correctness. This continuum isdefined by a “rubric,” which outlines what the general requirements are at each scalepoint. Then, scoring guidelines based upon the general rubric are developed to scoreindividual items. The rubric approach to scoring has made it possible to include open—ended tasks in large-scale assessments, such as the PSSA. Large numbers of studentpapers can be scored in a highly reliable way by persons who have received training inapplying the rubric.

TYPES OF ASSESSMENT MEASURESThe PSSA reading assessment employs two types of test items: multiple-choice andperformance tasks. They are designed to measure students’ comprehension of theinformation contained in the reading passages and their ability to respond to them.

Multiple—Choice ItemsMultiple-choice/selected-response items measure such concepts as how well studentscomprehend the overall meaning of a passage or make basic inferences about it. At times,asking students to choose a preferred answer is the best way to determine whether theyhave gleaned certain important information from a story. Such information may includesetting, central idea or main events and their chronology.

Single-response multiple-choice items are the familiar four response choices with onecorrect answer type. The student is awarded one score point for choosing the correctresponse. All multiple-choice items at grades 5 and 8 and the multiple-choice items in thegrade 11 matrix sections are of this type. Distracters (incorrect responses) appeal to somekind of misinterpretation, predisposition, unsound reasoning or casual reading.

Performance TasksPerformance tasks are designed to address comprehension of text in ways that multiple-choice items cannot. A written response allows students to reflect on what they have read,integrate prior/background knowledge with text-based information, extend meaning andexpress their ideas.

These tasks are scored using the Pennsylvania Reading Assessment Rubric. This four-point scoring rubric clearly describes a range of performance requirements at each levelfrom minimal to very accomplished. Each task is carefully constructed to reflect thescoring rubric and to be text-dependent. Students may have the Pennsylvania ReadingAssessment Rubric, a thesaurus and a dictionary when responding to a performance task.

The rubric approach to scoring has made it possible to include performance tasks in large-scale reading assessments, such as the PSSA. The rubric approach also provides a highlyreliable way to score a large number of student papers by persons who have receivedtraining in applying the rubric.

Page 7: 2001 Reading and Mathematics PSSA Technical Analysis - PA.Gov

The rubric describes a hierarchy of responses containing each of the following threeelements:

• Understanding of the text is demonstrated through a response that is both text-basedand factual.

• Level of comprehension of the text is demonstrated through levels of thinking, fromliteral to personal, critical or evaluative responses.

• Connection to the text is demonstrated through responses that make connections toand go beyond the text.

Matrix Sampling Assessment DesignThe PSSA was originally designed as a complex matrix-sampling scheme, which wasvery efficient for measuring school-level performance but less efficient for providingstudent-level assessments and diagnostics. In this design, there is a common core of itemsthat all students respond to and blocks of matrix items that are form specific. The matrixforms are spiraled within classrooms so than all forms are distributed uniformly withineach classroom. This ensures that each matrix form is administered to an unbiased andeffectively random sample of students in each school.

Since multiple forms are administered within each classroom, every student potentiallycould take a different set of items. This allows the assessment to cover a wide range oftopics at the classroom level. Comparisons between students are more problematicbecause they not only took different items, but they may have been tested on differenttopics.

Both the common and matrix sections of the PSSA use traditional multiple-choice itemsand more innovative open-ended performance tasks. Psychometrically, multiple-choiceitems are very useful and efficient tools for collecting information about a student’sacademic status. Open-ended performance tasks are less efficient in the sense that theygenerate fewer scoreable points in the same amount of testing time. They do, however,provide tasks that are more realistic and better sample the higher-level skills. The designof the PSSA attempts to achieve a reasonable balance between the two formats.

The design changes that began to take effect with the spring 2000 administration haveshifted the focus of the measurement toward the student and away from the school.Beginning in 2000, student-level results were reported on the Individual Student Report(ISR) with diagnostic results at the academic content standard level. All student-levelresults are based on the common items only and presented in the raw-score percent-correct metric only1. In order to accommodate this change in focus, the common section

1 While the student-level scaled scores are not reported on the ISR, they are used for many of theunderlying calculations.

has been expanded to better reflect the curriculum. Unfortunately, to administer the testsin a reasonable length of time, enhancing the common sections came at the expense of thematrix sections.

The PSSA design is an attempt to have the best of both worlds:

• All student-level results are based on the common core of all items that all students ina grade were administered. This ensures that all students are treated equally.

• All school-level results are based on the greater breadth of the matrix-samplingdesign. This enables the school-level results to better sample the entire curriculum.

Unfortunately, these dual objectives require some compromises:

• Many of the content standards are assessed with a minimal number of items.Consequently, scores reported at this level in any metric would have large standarderrors and are at risk of over-interpretation.

• The mean of the student level scores will not necessarily equal the school-level scorebecause they rely on different sets of items. They will be statistically equal since bothare estimates of the same school-level status but there is no reason to expect that theywill be numerically equal.

The following tables show how the two types of items and the content standards aredistributed across forms. Form W refers to the common sections and was the given to allstudents. Forms A through J for reading and mathematics are the matrix sections and eachstudent took one of these forms in reading and one in math.

TEST FORM STATISTICS

The table below contains an overview of the form-level data. Test length (L), meanpercent correct (P), typical test-retest reliability (R) and typical standard error ofmeasurement (SE) are shown for each form by grade and content area. These statisticsare based on the total test using both multiple-choice and open-ended tasks and bothcommon and matrix sections for each form. The test lengths pertain to the data used forschool-level estimates and not for student-level results.

The test-retest reliability can be thought of as the correlation between scores if thestudents could be tested twice with the same instrument without the second testing beingaffected by the first. It is computed as the ratio of the variance associated with truescores divided by the total variance. The total variance contains a component due to thevariance in true scores and a component due to the imperfections in the measurementprocess.

The standard error of measurement is another indicator of precision. If everyone beingtested had the same true score1, there would still be some variation in observed scoresdue to imperfections in the measurement process. These may be random differences inattention during instruction or concentration during testing. Or perhaps differences couldarise because of problems with the wording of the items or layout of the answer sheet.The standard error is the standard deviation2 of the distribution of observed scores forstudents with identical true scores.

Both reliability and the standard error increase with test length; although, it is not the soledeterminant in either case. Comparing the information in tables 2.1 and 2.2 should givesome insight into the complexities and tendencies of the these statistics.

The Student-Level Scaled Scores were estimated using the common items only. Thisresulted in shorter test lengths and therefore slightly lower form reliabilities. Thefollowing table pertains to the common-item measures.

1 True score is the score the person deserves and would actually receive if the measurement process wereperfect.2 The standard deviation of a distribution is a measure of the dispersion of the observations. For the normaldistribution about 16% of the observations are more than one standard deviation about the mean and thesame percentage are more than one standard deviation below the mean. To illustrate, using the data in table2.1, about 68% of students with true scores of 70 will have observed scores between 65 and 75.

Appendix A presents detailed descriptions of the performance of each form by grade andcontent area.

The standard deviation shown in the table is the standard deviation of observed scores.Assuming normally distributed scores, one would expect about two-thirds of theobservations to be within one standard deviation of the mean. An estimate of thestandard deviation of the true scores can be computed as the sqrt{(SD*SD) – (SE*SE)}.For grade 5 math, this would be sqrt{(15.5*15.5)-(4.5*4.5)} = 14.8.

The reliability can also be computed from these data. Again for grade 5 math common,R={(15.5*15.5)-(4.5*4.5)}/(15.5*15.5) = 0.92.

TRADITIONAL ITEM STATISTICS

Although all items had been reviewed several times, a thorough item analysis wasconducted to ensure that the items and forms performed as expected. With anypsychometric model, an item analysis is a search for unexpected results. In general, moreable3 students are expected to pass easy items and less able students are expected to faildifficult items. If either of these situations do not occur, the item should be reviewedonce more to determine the nature of the problem and the characteristics of the studentsaffected.

The most familiar indices of item performance are proportion correct (p-value) and itemreliability. Reliability for dichotomous items is typically represented by the point biserialcorrelation coefficient. This statistic will be positive if the total test mean score is higherfor the students who respond correctly to the item than for the students who respondincorrectly. Hence, the correlation will be low if there is a more able way to fail the itemor a less able way to pass it.

The p-value is a subtler indicator of item quality but the value should be appropriate forthe item. If there is a more able way to miss an item, the item will appear more difficultthan the underlying problem. Conversely, if there is a less able way to pass the item, itmay appear surprisingly easy.

Table 2.3 gives the mean p-value and point biserial correlation (PtBis) for the multiple-choice items in each grade and content area as a frame of reference of evaluating items.The p-value is the proportion of the students who responded correctly to an item. The

3 Following the Rasch literature, ability is used in this discussion as a generic term for the construct that isbeing measured by the exam. Competence, achievement, learning and status are among the alternativesthat are sometimes used but are all subject to some degree of misinterpretation.

Page 11: 2001 Reading and Mathematics PSSA Technical Analysis - PA.Gov

Item Analysis and Calibration 23

point biserial correlation is the correlation between the student’s score on the item (zeroor one) and the score on the total test. This can be computed as the familiar Pearsonproduct-moment correlation but because the item score is a dichotomous variable, theformula can be written in a simpler form.

The point biserial correlation is also called the item reliability. The correlation will havea positive value when the mean score of the students answering correctly is higher thanthe mean score of the students answering incorrectly. This is a very reasonablerequirement since it indicates that students who did well on the total test tended to dowell on this item. The index will take its maximum theoretical value of 1.0 if everystudent who answered the item correctly scored better on the test than any student whoanswered incorrectly4.

In general, with the mean p-values in the low 0.6 range, the PSSA was quite challengingto most students. With the average point biserial correlations near 0.4, the overall itemquality was quite good.

Grade P-value PtBis P-value PtBis

05 .66 .46 .68 .44

08 .61 .47 .65 .43

11 .55 .45 .62 .43

The item level analyses done for the PSSA also included the percent of students selectingeach incorrect response (foil) and the correlation between selecting a response and totaltest score. This information is useful to help item writers and editors understand theitem’s behavior. The percent selecting each response is an indicator of which foils areparticularly attractive.

The correlations by response are a further refinement on this idea. They indicate whichresponses are attractive to high scoring students and which to low scoring students. Theideal pattern would be a strong positive correlation for the correct response and strongnegative correlations for the incorrect responses. This pattern would indicate that theincorrect responses tend to attract students who tended to do less well on the total test.Consequently, one could conclude that the item is measuring the same construct as is thetest as a whole.

4 It is legitimate to view the point biserial correlations as standardized means. A positive value meansstudents who chose that response had a higher mean score than the average student; a negative value meansstudents who chose that response had a lower than average mean score.

Item Analysis and Calibration 24

RASCH ITEM STATISTICS AND EQUATING

Software implementing the Rasch model was used to obtain estimates of logit difficultiesfor both dichotomously- and polychotomously-scored items. The parameters estimatedfor polychotomous items are the step difficulties associated with the Masters PartialCredit model. This software has been adapted to handle all the item types currently inuse with the PSSA.

Rather than percent correct, the Rasch model expresses item difficulty (and studentability) in units typically referred to as logits. In the simplest case, a logit is atransformed p-value with the average p-value becoming a logit of zero. In this form,logits resemble z-scores or standard normal deviates; a very difficult item might have alogit of +4 and a very easy item might have a logit of –4. They actually have no formalrelationship to the normal distribution.

The logit metric has several mathematical advantages over p-values. It is an intervalscale meaning two items with logits of zero and one are the same distance apart as itemswith logits of +3 and +4. Logits are not dependent on the ability level of the students. Aspecific form will have a mean logit of zero whether the average p-value of the sample is0.8 or 0.3.

The standard Rasch calibration procedure arbitrarily sets the mean difficulty of the itemson any form at zero. Any item with a p-value lower than the average item on the formreceives a positive logit difficulty and any item with a p-value higher than the averagereceives a negative logit. Consequently, the logits for any calibration, whether it is athird grade reading test or a high school science test, relate to an arbitrary origin definedby the center of items on that form. The average third grade reading item will have alogit of zero; the average high school science item will have a logit of zero. This appliesto logits for both item difficulties and student abilities.

There are any number of other arbitrary choices that could be made for centering the itemdifficulties. Rather than using all the items, the origin could be defined by a subset. Forthe PSSA, all test forms in a particular grade and content area share a common block ofitems. The items on all forms can then be easily adjusted to a single (but still arbitrary)origin by defining the origin as the mean of the common items. With this done, theorigins for all ten forms will be statistically equal. Items on forms A and J that areequally difficult should now have equal logit difficulties.

Since the test forms were spiraled within classrooms, there are some cross checks that aremade to ensure the calibrations and links are reasonable. First, because of the spiraling,each form will be administered to a statistically equivalent sample of students and so anydifferences in performances observed among the groups should be due only to differencesin form difficulty. After linking, the mean and standard deviation of the logit abilitiesshould be statistically equal for each sample of students.

Second, because of the equivalent samples, the common items should have the same p-values regardless of which form and sample is being considered. And finally, for allitems, both common and matrix, a plot of the relationship between the p-value and thelogit should fall along a single, curved line.

Page 13: 2001 Reading and Mathematics PSSA Technical Analysis - PA.Gov

Item Analysis and Calibration 25

The curve using the diamond plotting symbol for Logit 2000 in Figure 2.1 below forGrade 5 Mathematics illustrates a situation in which these conditions were met quite well.This curve shows the transformation from p-values (x-axis) to logits (y-axis) for the year2000. The curve is nearly linear in the center but curves towards asymptotes of zero (onthe left) and one (on the right).

In theory, with the Rasch model, linking the exam for the current year to the exam forprevious years is just as straightforward as linking forms within year. However, thestudent samples can not be assumed equivalent across years and identical items can havedifferent properties in different years because of changes in the item’s context or changesin the students’ experiences. Consequently, between-year linking is somewhat lesscertain than within-year linking.

The link between years must be from items that are used in both years in approximatelythe same context. The same context in this situation means the items are not altered inany way, they appear in about the same position in the booklet, and they are administeredat about the same time of day. PDE provides a code for each item as part of the answerkey file that indicates the item’s appropriateness for linking. Codes between 1 and 6represent the gradation of the item’s suitability. A code of ’1’ means the item text isidentical and its sequence number has not changed by more than 2 or 3. A code of ’5’means the item has been significantly revised. A code of ’6’ indicates a completely newitem.

For within-year linking, the procedure is to link forms through the common section. Theresult is a bank of items with comparable logit difficulties. For between-year linking, theprocedure is to link the current year’s bank to the previous year’s banks. Theoretically,the process is identical to within-year.

(1) Overlapping items are identified.

(2) Adjusting the logit difficulties (of all items) in the current year’s bank so that themean logit difficulty for the overlapping items is equal to the mean logit difficulty forthe same items in previous year’s bank.

(3) Assess the validity of the link by identifying any items that do not maintain theirrelative position across years.

Plotting p-values against logit difficulties across year is not as reliable as it is within yearbut it is still informative. Within year, a given p-value will translate to a given logitregardless of the form it is used on, within the limits of statistical precision. Within year,the p-value-to-logit plot should be a single curved line; between years, the plot couldhave separate lines for each year. The difference between the two lines is a reflection ofthe adjustment (positive or negative) that is required to equate the two item banks. This isthe situation shown in Figure 2.1 with the curves using the square and the triangleplotting symbols.

The plot of the p-values for overlapping items from the two years can also beinformative. If the p-values for the current year are systematically higher than for thesame items last year, the scale scores should also show a systematic improvement afterthe two item banks have been properly linked. This is shown in Figure 2.1 with thediamond-plotting symbol.

There are some checks on the reasonableness of the linking process that can beperformed. Item calibration should be invariant across years, except for an arbitrarylocation constant. When the logit difficulties of the overlapping items for the current yearare plotted against their logit difficulties for a previous year, the result should be astraight line, whose width reflects the standard errors of estimation for the itemdifficulties. Identifying any outliers and recomputing the adjustment based on an editedset of overlapping items should improve the link.

Figure 2.2 above uses the same data as Figure 2.1 but focuses entirely on logitdifficulties. It shows more clearly the relationship between 2000 logits and 2001 logits.There is a well-defined line with a few outliers. From the intercepts which are (0, -0.5)and (0.5, 0) approximately, it can be seen that the required translation constant is slightlyless than 0.5 logits. Subtracting 0.5 from the 2001 logits (or adding 0.5 to 2000 logits)would shift the line to pass through the origin.

2001 PSSA OMITTED ITEMS

Numerous items from Grades 5, 8, and 11 were omitted from scoring due to poorstatistical performance. Items with low p-values or negative point biserial correlationsindicate that another answer option is a plausible alternative to the correct answer option.The following items were flagged during item analysis and were omitted from finalscoring. All omitted items were Reading items.

Grade 5: MathematicsThe traditional item statistics, percent correct and point biserial correlations, displayedtypical and reasonable distributions for Grade 5 Mathematics, as shown in Figure 3.1below. These statistics were computed for each test form so, in this plot, clusters ofpoints represent a single common item that occurred on all ten forms. The points nearpercent correct of 0.85 and correlation of 0.17 illustrate this.

The percent correct scores range from about 0.25 to about 0.96 with the majority of theitems in the range 0.5 to 0.82. Most of the item reliabilities are between 0.3 and 0.5 withonly two items below 0.2, both of which are matrix items. It might also be useful toinvestigate the items with reliabilities near 0.6. They may be exemplars for what itemsshould be or they might be tapping some extracurricular experience primarily available tothe better math students.

Figure 3.2 entitled Grade 5 Mathematics Link 2001 to 2000 contains several pieces ofinformation for the items that were used to link the 2001 exam to the 2000 exam. Thediagonal line, rising from left to right, shows the item logit difficulties in the two years.One would expect the relationship to form a straight line with slope one. The extent towhich the line does not pass through the origin indicates a shift in the form difficulty.The intercepts are in fact an estimate of the between year equating constant. For gradefive mathematics, the logit shift is close to one logit.

The two lines sloping downward toward the right relate item p-values for the two years tothe 2000 logits. The line using the diamond plotting symbol shows the relationshipbetween p-value and logit difficulty for the 2000 data. It shows the curvilinearrelationship required by the model with low p-values being translated into high logitdifficulties and high p-values into low difficulties. The smoothness of this line indicates

good agreement among the ten forms. Because the ten forms were spiraled withinclassroom, the samples generated are randomly equivalent and one would expect the

same p-value to translate into the same logit. This is the case with these data.

The line with the cross plotting symbol shows the relationship between the p-values from2001 and the logits from 2000 for the linking items. It also shows the curvilinearrelationship but the line is not as smooth. This is expected because the p-values andlogits were produced by completely different samples. With the exception of a fewitems, this line indicates reasonable agreement between the two years.

The degree to which these two lines do not coincide indicates a change in the p-valuebetween the two years. Most of the item p-values are slightly higher in 2001 than theywere in 2000. Note this chart is based on the overlapping items that were administered inidentical form in both years. The change in p-value indicates improvement and isconsistent with the change in the state level mean scale score.

CChhaapptteerr 44:: IItteemm BBiiaass RReevviieewwTest item bias can present itself in a variety of ways in items: through the language, theformat, the content, or the behaviors required. It can result from membership in aspecific subpopulation or from factors correlated to the subpopulation. It can affect allmembers of the subpopulation or it may affect only those in specific ranges of ability.How bias arises and how it presents itself clearly will affect how best to detect andcorrect it.

Limitations of Statistical DetectionNo statistical procedure should be used as a substitute for rigorous, hands-on reviews bycontent and bias specialists. The statistical results can help to organize the review so theeffort is concentrated on the most problematic cases; however, no items should beautomatically rejected simply because some statistical method flagged them or acceptedbecause they were not flagged.

Statistical detection of item bias is at best an inexact science. There has been a variety ofmethods proposed for detecting bias but no one statistic to date can be considered eithernecessary or sufficient. Different methods are more or less successful depending on thesituation and circumstances. No analysis can guarantee that a test is free of bias andalmost any thoughtful analysis will uncover the most flagrant problems.

A fundamental shortcoming of all of the statistical methods is that all are intrinsic to thetest being evaluated. If a test overall is unbiased but with one or two biased items, mostmethods will locate the problems. If however the test itself is biased against one or moresubpopulations, a statistical analysis of the items will not be able to separate bias effectsfrom true differences in achievement.

Mantel-Haenszel Procedure for Differential Item FunctioningThe Mantel-Haenszel procedure for detecting differential item functioning is the mostcommonly used technique in educational testing. It does not depend on the application orthe fit of any specific measurement model. It does have some philosophical overlap withthe Rasch model since it uses total score to organize the analysis.

Differential item functioning is present when examinees of equal ability do not have thesame chance of passing the item. If this inequity is associated with gender or ethnicgroups, the item could be described as biased. The Mantel-Haenszel procedure looks foritems that meet this idea of differential functioning.

The procedure as implemented by DRC contrasts a focal group with a reference group.While it makes no practical difference in the analysis which group is defined as the focalgroup, the protected class or the group most apt to the disadvantaged by a biasedmeasurement is typically defined as the focal group. The Mantel-Haenszel statistic (MH)for each item is computed from a two-by-two-by-eight contingency table. It has twogroups (focal and reference), two outcomes (right or wrong) and eight ability groupings.The ability groups are defined by the octiles of the score distribution for the totalexaminee populations.

Page 28: 2001 Reading and Mathematics PSSA Technical Analysis - PA.Gov

Item Bias Review 40

The basic MH statistic is a single degree of freedom chi-square that compares theobserved number in each cell to the expected number. The expected counts are computedto ensure that the analysis is not confounded with differences in the achievement level ofthe two groups.

For constructed response items, a comparable statistic is computed based on thestandardized mean difference computed as the differences in mean scores for the focaland reference groups if both groups had the same score distribution.

To assist the review committees in interpreting the analyses, the items are assigned aseverity code based on the magnitude of the MH statistic. Items classified as A+ or A-have no statistical indication of differential item functioning. Items classified as B+ or B-have some indication and may not require revision. Items classified as C+ or C- havestrong evidence of a problem and should be reviewed and revised if they are to be usedagain. The plus sign indicates the item favors the focal group and a minus sign indicatesthe item disfavors the focal group.

Displays such as the following are produced for all items given the C classification andare shown in Appendices S and V. This display identifies the item by form and sequencenumber and provides all the descriptive statistics. For each score grouping, the displaygives the number in each group and the percentage of the group who answered the itemcorrectly. For example, for the item shown, there were 901 students from the focal groupin the lowest group and 45% of them answered the item correctly.

The following tables provide counts of the number of items from each grade and contentarea that were assigned to each severity code.

CChhaapptteerr 55:: SSttuuddeenntt aanndd SScchhooooll LLeevveell SSccaalliinnggPrior to 2000 testing, when the PSSA design was more heavily matrix sampling,estimating school-level scale scores presented some statistical and psychometricchallenges. For example, the statistically efficient method to compute the school-levelscale score often gave an answer different for what would be obtained by averagingstudent ability estimates. To avoid this source of misunderstanding, the school levelscores were forced to equal the average of the appropriate students. The matrix samplingcomponent of the design was used at the standard level to estimate relative strengths andweaknesses for the school.

In 2000, with the new reporting design, more emphasis was placed on the commonsections. It became necessary to compute reliable estimates of student-level abilities, asindicated by the standard errors, at the level of the content standards. It is then possibleto aggregate all scale scores to the school, district and state levels without resorting to anycomplex algorithms. The results should be simpler to explain and interpret.

Because the original design of the PSSA was intended to produce school-level estimatesonly, the reporting metric was defined at the school level. For the base year, the mean ofall schools in the norming sample was set at 1300 and the standard deviation at 100. Thedistribution to which these apply is the content area scale score with all schools weightedequally. Consequently, the expectation now is for state-level means near 1300 andstandard deviations near 100. The state mean of student level scale scores will in generalbe somewhat different. This difference occurs because the mean of the school-levelscores counts schools equally regardless of size while the mean of the student-levelscores counts students equally.

For the eleventh grade, the PSSA also requires computing school-level estimatesseparately for vocational/technical students and non-vocational/technical students.Because student-level scale scores are now available for every student, this step requiresa different aggregation of the students but doesn’t require recomputing the student scalescores.

One would not expect large changes from year to year at the state level. Any changewould typically be in the same direction and proportional to changes in the p-values forthe linking items. One would also expect that schools that put more resources intoeffecting changes to show relatively more progress than those that do not. This type ofinformation is not available in a systematic way and any evaluation of this type woulddepend on anecdotal information.

Table 5.1 gives the transformations that were used to convert 2001 logits into the ScaledScores. These translation constants included the adjustments to equate 2001 to prioryears as well as the rescaling needed to convert to the (1300, 100) metric. Thesetransformations are used for all scale score calculations.

Common Items and Matrix Sampled ItemsWith the new design for the 2000 PSSA, school-level scale scores are based on all itemson all forms. This ensures that the scale scores used for school accountability are basedon the widest possible sampling of the curriculum. Student-level scores are based on thecommon items only. This ensures that any decision made about students will be done inthe most equitable manner.

This double system is intended to provide the best information possible for both types ofdecisions. The process requires computing two sets of student scores. The first set isbased on the common items and is used for calculations involving the students. Thesecond set is based on the common and matrix items and is used to aggregate up to theschool, district, and state levels.

In addition to adding complexity to the processing, this approach also introduces somepotential confusion. The mean of the student-level scale scores for a school will notequal the school-level scale score. While this is an obvious consequence of basing thescores on different sets of items, it is less obvious to the users of the reports.

Theoretically, it does not matter if a school is evaluated using the common items only orthe common plus matrix items. Both approaches to computing the school-level scalescores should estimate the same location on the underlying construct. As shown in figure5.1, for grade five, the correlation between the two school-level estimates is very near 1.0for both reading and math. This result is typical of those seen for the other grades aswell. Correlations at the student level will be lower, closer to the range of the typicalform reliabilities. While the two measures are both estimates of the same construct, theyare not equally good estimates. The measure using both common and matrix items relieson more items and so it has:

� Better coverage of the curriculum, and

� Smaller standard errors of measurement.

Because the correlations between the two measures are not perfect, some schools andsome students will appear to do better on one measure or the other.

Scaled Scores for Content StandardsFrom the point of view of curriculum and instruction, content standards make eminentsense. For the point of view of test development, there is no problem writing itemspecifications and test items themselves that align with the content standards. Forreporting to educators and parents, performance by content standard is valued and iscarefully scrutinized. From the point of view of measurement, content standards are alogical problem.

If all items on the math or the reading assessment are to be aggregated into a singlemeasure, then all items must be measuring a single construct. This does not seem toleave room for content standards within the general content area. If the content standardsare truly different, then they should not be aggregated into a single score; if they are notdifferent, there is no point in reporting them separately.

The PSSA turns out to be typical of most assessments. Empirically, the content standardsare different but not very different. In any content area, one strong general factorcontains all the content standards. It is also possible to find some schools and somestudents for which the content standards are distinctly different.

The plots below illustrate the strong relationship among the content standards whencomputed at the school level. The correlations among content standard tend to be about0.90 across all grades and contents. Correlations at the student level would be lower.

There is a tendency for the content standard scaled scores to have slightly differentslopes. This tends to be associated with the different weighting given to constructedresponse tasks in the different areas. In prior years, this effect was much morepronounced in grade 11 reading which used another item type. Without the multipleresponse multiple choice items, this plot is very similar to the others.

CChhaapptteerr 66:: IInntteerrpprreettiinngg SSccaalleedd SSccoorreess oonn tthhee PPSSSSAAA Scaled Score, in the simplest sense, is a transformed number correct score1. When allstudents take the same items, as in the common sections of the PSSA, the more points thestudent earns, the higher the scaled score received will be. The value of switching to themore abstract scaled score metric is to produce a more general result.

A raw score of, say, 30 is almost meaningless unless the reader is also told how manypoints were possible. The same score has quite different meanings if it is based on athirty-item test or on a sixty-item test. Number correct scores are transformed to percentcorrect scores to remove the effect of test length. In the same way, a score based on sixtydifficult items is quite different from the same score based on sixty easy items. Numbercorrect scores are transformed to scaled scores to remove the effects of test length anditem difficulty.

On the surface, a scaled score of, say, 1300 does not appear to have any more meaningthan a raw score of 30. A temperature of 37 degrees does not provide useful informationunless the scale is anchored to some known points. Useful anchors might be the freezingpoint of water or perhaps the normal body temperature for humans.2 To be meaningful,the new metric must be related to known objects and situations, in other words, to somesort of measurement standard.

School-Level Scales ScoresThe PSSA scaled score metric has been anchored to the mean school level scaled scorefor a base year and that point has been arbitrarily labeled 1300. The point on the scalethat is one standard deviation above the mean was labeled 1400. These labels arecompletely arbitrary; they could have be called zero and one or any other ordered pairwithout affecting any of the relationships among schools, years, students or items. Itwould simply be changing the labels on the axis of a graph without moving any of thepoints.

The 1300-metric was chosen so that negative or fractional scale scores are not needed andso that the PSSA scaled scores are not easily confused with the results from any othertesting program. Like the temperature scales of Fahrenheit and Celsius, the new scalewill acquire meaning only with experience.

A scaled score of 1300, or any other value, should have the same absolute meaning in thecurrent year as it had in previous years, when properly equated across years. A schoolwith a scaled score above 1300 performed better than did the average school in the baseyear.

More importantly, an increase in the scaled score from last year to the current year meansthe students’ performance has improved; it does not say anything about whether the examis easier or harder. To make these interpretations requires no information about thelength or the difficulty of the test in either year, although all of those are essentialinformation for deriving the scaled scores. 1 This is done in two steps. First, there is a nonlinear transformation that converts number correct scores tologits and then a linear transformation to convert logits to scaled scores.2 Most adults have enough experience with temperature scales that being told the temperature is on theFahrenheit scale or on the Celsius scale is enough information to render the measure useful.

Interpreting Scaled Scores 51

In the base year, the standard deviation of the school-level scaled scores was set to avalue of 100. If school scores are approximately normally distributed, a scaled score of1400, one standard deviation above the base year mean, means the school did better thanabout 5/6 of the schools in the base year. About two thirds of the schools will have scaledscores between 1200 and 1400. Conversely, about 16% of the schools will be below1200. Scaled scores of 1000 and 1600 are three standard deviations from the mean andso are extreme scores.

The best guide for giving meaning to the scaled scores is experience. Knowing thetypical school had a scaled score of 1300 in the base year provides a beginning forunderstanding the metric. Noting the performance of other known schools, such as thoseclassified as similar schools, will also help define the school-level scores. Mostimportantly, comparing a school’s score to its scores in previous years should be a goodindicator of progress.

Another approach to benchmarks is the percentile rank as shown in Figure 6.1 below.This chart converts the School level scaled score into a percentile rank that describes thedistribution of scores for all schools in the norming sample for the current year. Thischart applies only to School-level scaled scores computed from the common sections ofthe exam and can not be used for student-level scores. A complete table of school levelpercentile ranks is given in the appendix.

Interpreting Scaled Scores 54

Student Level Scaled Scores

This discussion has been focused on the meaning of the metric at the school level. Forthe students, the mean scaled score will also be close to 1300 but the standard deviationwill about twice as large.

In interpreting a student-level scale score, the student’s measure can be compared to themean of the school or to other students in the state. Another approach is the percentilerank table (Table 6.4). This table converts the student level scaled score into a percentilerank that describes the distribution of score for all students in the norming sample for thecurrent year. This table applies only to student-level scaled scores computed from thecommon sections of the exam and cannot be used for school-level scores.

A complete percentile rank table that includes conversions for points received as well asscaled scores is included in the appendices.

Chapter 7: PSSA Reliability of Performance StandardsWith the advent of Criterion Referenced Testing (CRT), it became clear that thetraditional indicators of test reliability were not appropriate for the new situation. Thetraditional indicators depend on the variance of the trait in the population. However, withCRT, it is possible for the test to perfectly place the examinees with respect to thecriterion although there is little or no variance in the scores.

Livingston1 proposed a natural extension of the KR-20 coefficient that incorporates boththe measurement error and the errors of classification. The formula proposed for thisstatistic is:

� Κ2 = (σ2Τ + (µ − λ)2 ) / ( σ2

Τ + (µ − λ)2 + σ2ε)

In this notation, µ is the population mean and λ is the performance standard. Withmultiple choice items, this expression reduces to KR20 when the performance standard isnumerically equal to the mean. Inspection of the formula also indicates that K2 will neverbe less than the KR20.

Conversely unlike the KR20, this expression will yield a large positive value, even ifeveryone has the same ability (σ2

Τ = 0.0), if the distance from the ability to the standardis large compared to the size of the standard error.

The following table reports the value if for each performance standard of the 2001 PSSA.Because the standard for the proficient category is very near the state mean, the reliabilityis very near the value of the total test reliability. These statistics are computed in thescale score metric, which will typically yield slightly higher values than the raw scores.This reflects the nonlinear rescaling from raw score to logit score.

It is also informative to consider the standard error of measurement at Performancestandards. For the PSSA, these typically range from about 45 scale score points to about70 scale score points depending on how near the standard is to the center of the items.The standard errors can be used to create confidence intervals around the standards.

Ideally, these intervals would be small. However, the width is largely determined by thetotal number of items and the difficulty of the items with respect to the standard. It isreassuring to note that the intervals do not overlap. In all cases, the high value for onecategory is well below the low value for the next category.
