1 Equating Student Scores Across Test Administration Modes: Grade 11 Mathematics MCA-III Introduction When assessments are delivered using multiple modes, such as online and paper-and-pencil, it is necessary to determine whether test scores across modes are comparable, and if not, to identify the linking constants necessary to place test scores from different modes onto a common scale. The first operational administration of the Grade 11 Mathematics MCA-III in spring 2014 was delivered to schools in both online and paper modes. Prior to reporting test scores for the spring 2014 mathematics assessments, a mode comparability study was performed to evaluate differences in test performance attributable to the mode of test administration, and to identify the linking constants necessary to place item parameter estimates across modes on a common scale for test scoring. This document summarizes the mode comparability analyses conducted during the summer of Background Following the first operational administration of the Grade 11 Mathematics MCA-III in spring 2014, AIR and the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) conducted a mode comparability study to evaluate mode-based differences in student performance, and estimate the linking constants necessary to place paper- and computer-based item parameters and resulting ability estimates on an equivalent scale. The first operational online administration of the Grade 11 Mathematics MCA-III comprised six unique fixed forms to which students were assigned at random. MDE also produced one form for paper-based test administrations. The paper form was constructed to be as similar as possible to one of the online forms, and the similarity between those forms provided the basis for a study to evaluate the comparability of items administered in online and paper test modes. The matched online and paper forms shared 54 common items, but differed in the following ways: (a) each form contained two operational test items that were not included on the other form, and (b) the forms contained different sets of items in the 16-item embedded field test blocks. The 54 items common to both forms were used for the mode comparability study. The online matched form was administered to twice as many students as the other online forms, to ensure a sufficiently large online student sample to conduct a mode comparability study. Table 1 shows the number of items used for the mode comparability study as well as the sample size counts for students taking the common form online and on paper. Note that these samples include only public school students with valid test records and for whom there was no missing data in the matching variables used. Student records that did not meet the attemptedness criterion or were invalidated were excluded from all analyses. 1
2 Table 1: Number of Common Items and Number of Students Administered the Common Form Methodology Number of Common Items Common Form Sample Size Online Matched Form 2 Common Form Sample Size Paper Form 54 5,692 35,123 Similar to the approach used previously by MDE, the mode comparability study for Grade 11 Mathematics MCA-III was accomplished using a matched samples design (Way, Davis, and Fitzpatrick, 2006). Following this design, a reference sample was identified from one mode and a matched sample of students responding in the alternate mode was also drawn. The samples were matched on student achievement and demographic information including gender, ethnicity, free and reduced lunch eligibility, and special education designation. The two samples were then equated using a common item linking design. Although about 35% of the student population participated in the online administration, only about 5,700 students were administered the common form online. Thus, the online sample for the mode comparability study comprised all students administered the common form online for whom a complete set of matching variable data was available. Following the procedures described below, a sample was then drawn from the paper test administration that matched the characteristics of students in the smaller online sample. The following procedures were used to define the matched samples between the online and paper test administration modes. 1. For students participating in the paper test administration, 2014 Mathematics MCA-III raw scores were regressed on relevant achievement and demographic variables, including 2013 Reading MCA-III scores, ethnicity, gender, eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch, and special education designation following the regression equation below: YY = ββ 0 + ββ 1 XX 1 + ββ 2 XX 2 + ββ 3 XX ββ 8 XX 8 Where YY is the predicted 2014 MCA-III Mathematics raw score, ββ nn refers to the estimated regression weight for covariate XX nn, and XX 1 = 2013 Grade 10 MCA-III Reading theta score XX 2 = American Indian-White Contrast XX 3 = Asian-White Contrast XX 4 = Hispanic-White Contrast XX 5 = African American-White Contrast XX 6 = Female-Male Contrast XX 7 = Free or Reduced-Price Lunch Eligibility Contrast XX 8 = Special Education Contrast
3 2. Using the obtained regression weights, the prediction equation was applied to all students taking the common forms across both test administration modes, generating a predicted 2014 Grade 11 Mathematics MCA-III paper form raw test score for each student. Using the predicted 2014 Mathematics test scores, the online sample was then divided into 20 equal sized ability groups. The predicted test score distribution cut points identified for the online sample were then applied to the paper mode sample to form 20 ability subgroups for the paper sample as well. The size of the paper mode comparability sample was limited only by the number of students available in the smallest of the paper mode subgroups. Therefore, from the 20 paper mode subgroups, the smallest subgroup was identified, and used to determine the target sample size for each of the 20 paper mode subgroup samples. For each of the 20 ability subgroups in the paper mode sample, a random sample of students was drawn (without replacement) equal to the target sample size. Thus, the paper based sample was the largest matched sample that could be drawn without replacement such that the proportion of students at each predicted score level was equivalent to that of the online sample. The larger paper matched sample was used in order to obtain the most stable item parameter estimates possible. This approach differed from that used in previous studies by MDE where bootstrapping estimates of sampling error were generated using equivalent paper and online sample sizes in order to determine whether mode differences were significant. For the current analysis, the existence of mode differences was assumed and the goal was to obtain the most precise estimate of them. 3
4 Regression Equations The regression equation had an R-squared value of 0.53, indicating that substantial variation in the 2014 test scores could be accounted for by the achievement and demographic variables included in the model. Table 2 shows the raw and standardized regression coefficients for each variable entered into the model. In particular, it is noted that even in the absence of concurrent ability measures or a prior year measure of the same construct, the 2013 reading achievement scores were predictive of 2014 math achievement.

5 Comparing the Matched Samples Table 3 provides a comparison of the demographic and achievement characteristics between the online and paper samples drawn for the mode comparability study. The table presents demographic and achievement characteristics for three groups, including the sample of online students taking the common form, the full paper sample, and the sample of paper administrations matched to the online sample. For each sample, the table presents the proportion of students classified in each demographic category as well as the average raw score on the spring 2014 mathematics assessment. Note that the raw score summary depends on the 54 operational items that were common across the paper and online version of the paper form. Results indicate that the demographic composition and prior Reading achievement of the matched samples is quite similar and that the matching procedure was effective. Comparison of the observed raw score means on the 2014 Mathematics MCA-III for the matched samples supports the a priori assumption of a mode effect that requires adjustment.

6 Results With the matched online and paper mode samples in hand, IRT parameter estimates were then obtained independently for each sample. The Stocking-Lord procedure for equating was then used to place the item parameters obtained from the online sample onto the scale represented by the item parameters from the paper sample. Applying the mode linking constants to the online item parameter estimates produced a mode-corrected online target scale for placing the paper item parameters onto the mode-corrected online scale. ICC differences between the matched sample paper and mode-corrected online item parameters were then examined to evaluate whether the performance of some items was so different across modes that they should be dropped from the linking set. Results of this review indicated that all available linking items should be included in the final linking set. Table 4 shows the final Stocking-Lord slope and intercept coefficient estimates that reflect the impact of mode on student performance across the 54 common test items. These constants were applied to the matched online sample parameter estimates to produce the target, mode-corrected online scale. Table 4: Stocking-Lord Slope and Intercept from Matched Samples Equating Slope Intercept # Items With the matched sample, mode-corrected online item parameters as a target scale, the next step was to identify the Stocking-Lord constants for each step in the chain to link the item parameters from the paper bank to those in the online bank. The chain procedure was chosen to account for all possible item parameter differences between the two administration modes, as well as between the samples used to estimate them. Table 5 shows the S-L constants for each step in the chain, including linking the paper bank parameters to the item parameters based on the matched paper sample, linking the matched paper sample to the mode-corrected matched online sample, and linking the mode-corrected online sample to the mode-corrected online bank scale. Linking constants between the full paper and matched paper samples, as well as between the matched online and full paper samples, reflect differences in the population of schools and students participating across the paper and online test administration modes. The linking constants between the matched samples indicate that the matching procedure was effective.

7 Table 6 shows the aggregate Stocking-Lord constants used to put the full-sample paper calibration item parameters onto the mode corrected scale, and thus reflects differences between the paper and online samples that are not attributable to test administration mode based on the matched sample procedure. Table 6: Aggregate Stocking-Lord Slope and Intercept Link Slope Intercept Items Full Paper to Mode Adjusted Scale With these values in hand, the linkage between the paper and online bank parameters was applied, placing the paper bank parameters on a common, mode-adjusted scale with the online bank. Conclusion The mode comparability study described in this document examined the comparability of scores from the online and paper administrations of the spring 2014 MCA-III Mathematics assessments. A matched samples analysis indicated the existence of mode effects in the obtained item parameter estimates. The identified mode linking constant was applied to produce mode-adjusted parameter estimates to place the paper item parameters on the Grade 11 online scale. Final student scores will be computed using the equivalent scale item parameters appropriate to the mode in which the test was administered. Adjusting for mode effects and placing the paper and online parameters on common scale allows for direct comparison of scores across the modes. 7
