Student and School Predictors of High-Stakes Assessment in Science

Date: 
May 8, 2012

In the Science Education Journal, "Student and School Predictors of High-Stakes Assessment in Science" examines the different variables that affect student achievement in science. A "study examined both student and school predictors of science achievement as measured by a high-stakes state test. The study involved 23,854 fifth-grade students from 198 elementary schools in a large urban school district with a diverse student population. Multilevel modeling was conducted to examine both student and school predictors simultaneously (Maerten-Rivera, J., Myers, N., Lee, O., Penfield, R., 2010)."
