Details<br />
Nonsignificant chi-square statistics for models<br />
reflecting the preceding structure were found. In<br />
addition, these models significantly improved the<br />
model–data fit afforded by lower order models<br />
(i.e., 1-factor models). Finally, measures of internal<br />
consistency (coefficient ) for the separate<br />
indicators of the dimensions ranged from .68 to .94<br />
across the content areas.<br />
Details<br />
Sets of items on the teacher questionnaire were<br />
combined and validated by using confirmatory<br />
factor analytic (CFA) methods and measures of<br />
internal consistency to reflect the dimensions.<br />

Yes (please specify)<br />
Yes. There is no special reason for conducting the<br />
study at the time it was done, except data were<br />
available and the questions are important. The<br />
study is tightly connected to relevant research,<br />
data provided by the Maryland State Department of<br />
Education, study funded by a grant from US Dept.<br />
of Ed., and the study carried out during 1996-<br />
(probably 1998 or 1999).<br />
M.2 Are the aims of the study clearly reported? Yes (please specify)<br />
Yes. The broad aims are to give more comprehensive<br />
and direct evidence for the consequences of<br />
statewide assessments programmes than previously<br />
research.<br />
The study will especially explore the relationships<br />
between changes in the scores from the MSPAP<br />
from 1993 to 1998 and teacher, student, and school<br />
variables.<br />
No specific hypothesis is expressed.
