R&D Hub

NAEP researcher David Bamat recently published a new research article, “Closing Reporting Gaps: A Comparison of Methods for Estimating Unreported Subgroup Achievement on NAEP,” in Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives.

Explore the latest insights in research and development from NAEP researchers in the R&D program. Given the current buzz around AI, this month we’re excited to share a working paper on the evaluation of chatbots by Ruhan Circi and Bhashithe Abeysinghe, NAEP researchers from the American Institutes for Research (AIR). The full text of the working paper is included below. Don’t miss out on these valuable perspectives – subscribe now to stay ahead in technology and innovation!

Those interested in process data in digitally based assessments (DBAs) will want to check out the newest addition to the Focus on NAEP series: “Exploring Process Data in TEL.” This examination of process data from the 2014 Technology and Engineering Literacy (TEL) assessment explores how data collected from digitally based assessments can be used to investigate digital familiarity and efficiency.

Through its Focus on NAEP website, the Nation's Report Card provides non-technical audiences a closer look at how the NAEP assessment works. In turn, stakeholders outside of the research community can have a better understanding of why this assessment matters. In this week’s post we look at how researchers can benefit from exploring this useful tool.
