Section I: Methods - Sampling strategy<br />
I.1 Are the authors trying to produce findings that<br />
are repre<strong>sen</strong>tative of a given population?<br />
108<br />
The strata were defined by three levels for each of<br />
two variables:<br />
(a) the percentage of free or reduced-price lunches<br />
according to the 1994–1995 classification<br />
used by the Maryland State Department of Education<br />
(MSDE) and<br />
(b) the MSPAP performance gains (the MSDE’s 1993–<br />
1995 change index).<br />
Teachers completed questionnaires prior to administering<br />
the MSPAP, whereas students completed<br />
questionnaires within 2 weeks following the administration<br />
of the MSPAP.<br />

Elementary and middle schools are compared with<br />
each other. The divisions are made across following<br />
subjects mathematics, language arts (reading<br />
and writing), science and social studies. Furthermore<br />
the following variables are also considered: In<br />
this study, changes in MSPAP scale scores for<br />
schools were examined in relation to classroom<br />
instruction and assessment practices, student<br />
learning and motivation, beliefs about the impact<br />
of and attitudes toward the MSPAP, and the school<br />
characteristic of percentage of free or reducedprice<br />
lunches, which served as a proxy for SES. The<br />
MSDE also provided school data on the percentage<br />
of free or<br />
reduced-price lunches.<br />

Is not explicitly mentioned though this study is<br />
trying to build on the existing research about<br />
