Using General Outcome Measures in Mathematics To Measure Adequate Yearly Progress as Mandated by Title I.
Helwig, Robert; Tindal, Gerald
Assessment for Effective Intervention, v28 n1 p9-18 Fall 2002
Four alternate versions of a 15-item general outcome measure (GOM) of mathematics conceptual understanding and applications were developed and administered to 117 eighth-graders. Results were correlated with scores on state multiple-choice mathematics achievement tests. Correlations ranged from .81 to .87 with no significant differences, offering evidence of criterion validity. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
