Module 3 is designed as a foundation for in-depth further study of the concepts and technical aspects (computing and statistics) behind value-added and growth model approaches to analyzing student, teacher, and school performance. These are fairly new approaches, and as such there are many fascinating issues to explore related to how best to apply and further develop them. This Module is designed for more advanced students planning on conducting research related to value-added models, district or school research directors interested in more detailed background, and higher education faculty teaching assessment and evaluation courses or working with value-added models and policy. In this Module you will find information and activities designed to help you learn about:
- The technical details of the statistics, assessments used and their implications, and uses of value-added and growth models in evaluation.
- Comparison of multiple models of value-added analysis.
- An overview of the latest literature, with reference links to more in-depth resources.
- A Brief History of Growth and Outcome Measure Trends in Education
- Comparison of Primary Growth and Value-Added Modules in Use Today
- Statistical Details and the Inner Workings of Value-Added Modules
- Links to further reading and more in-depth resources.
- The Relationship of These Methods to Other Fields (Economics, Medicine, Psychology, etc.)
