The purpose of this book is to evaluate a new approach to the
analysis and reporting of the large-scale surveys for the National
Assessment of Educational Progress carried out for the National
Center for Education Statistics. The need for a new approach was
driven by the demands for secondary analysis" "of the survey data
by researchers who needed analyses more detailed than those
published by NCES, and the need to accelerate the processing and
publication of results from the surveys.
This new approach is based on a full multilevel statistical and
psychometric model for students' responses to the test items,
taking into account the design of the survey, the backgrounds of
the students, and the classes, schools and communities in which the
students were located. The authors detail a fully integrated single
model that incorporates both the survey design and the psychometric
model by extending the traditional form of the psychometric model
to accommodate the design structure while allowing for student,
teacher, and school covariates.
