متن کاملUsing ITS Generated Data to Predict Standardized Test Scores
This study suggests that the data generated by intelligent tutoring systems can be used to accurately predict end-of-year standardized state test scores. A traditional model including only past performance on the test yielded an R of 0.38 and an enhanced traditional model that added current class average improved predictions (R=0.50). These models served as baseline measures for comparing an IT...

15 صفحه اولAcademic self-concept, interest, grades, and standardized test scores: reciprocal effects models of causal ordering.
Reciprocal effects models of longitudinal data show that academic self-concept is both a cause and an effect of achievement. In this study this model was extended to juxtapose self-concept with academic interest. Based on longitudinal data from 2 nationally representative samples of German 7th-grade students (Study 1: N = 5,649, M age = 13.4; Study 2: N = 2,264, M age = 13.7 years), prior self-...
