R&D Hub

This holiday season, we’re thankful for all of the data tools and resources from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) that help us visualize, understand, and interpret NAEP data. Take a look at some examples and get started working with NAEP data!

EdSurvey 3.0 is now available on CRAN-R. This latest update provides education researchers with the ability to tap into three new powerful functions that utilize cutting-edge techniques to leverage complex statistical analysis of large-scale assessment data.

Using new data from large-scale assessments such as NAEP and TIMSS is difficult because simply merging the data and using the well-known plausible value and survey methodology will yield biased results. To help researchers with this problem, the EdSurvey product development team recently published a new version of Dire, an R package intended to complement its primary statistical software application.

2021 saw work featured by the NAEP R&D Program make noteworthy progress and impacts on multiple fronts. As we end this year, let’s take a look at some of those achievements.
