NA (site), NA (city), Oklahoma (OK)

Abstract:

From the Executive Summary: "The goal of this study was to assess the validity of IXL’s Real-Time Diagnostic in both math and reading using a new criterion measure: the Star Assessment. We analyzed math and reading data from students in grades 1-8 attending public schools in a large, suburban Oklahoma district. Within each subject, we found:

• Strong, positive correlations between IXL’s Diagnostic and Star performance (all rs = .70)

• A high degree of overlap in student proficiency classifications by the IXL Diagnostic and Star Assessment"
