This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development, calibration, and validation of computer adaptive testing measures to assess mathematical problem-solving ability for grades 6-8. The $563,115 award will: (A) benchmark previously established problem-solving measures, (B) develop a computer adaptive testing item bank, (C) construct student- and class-level reporting, and (D) investigate teachers' capacity to implement, interpret, and use the new assessments.

The project includes a $103,285 sub-award to Drexel University to lead standard-setting exercises, collaborate on the computer adaptive testing system, and support psychometric and statistical evaluation of the problem-solving measures. This work aims to provide school districts and researchers an efficient and effective means to assess students' mathematical problem-solving performance and growth over time, while improving classroom instruction through more precise student performance data.
