摘要
作为一项得到广泛认可的教育绩效指标,国家教育进展评估(NAEP)是美国数十年来用于跟踪和了解教育进展的重要工具,也是全美初等教育与中等教育状况的晴雨表。它是美国当前唯一一项定期对小学、初中和高中学生的教育成就进行的全国性调查,在新测试技术的发展过程中发挥着重要的作用。本文对NAEP的发展历史进行综述和总结,同时对当前NAEP所面临的效度问题,如跨年级(纵向)量表以及在分数报告中使用表现水平的做法等进行评论。

This article provides an overview and brief summary of the history of the NAEP, as well as commentary on selected challenges to the validity of NAEP results, including the use of cross - grade （ or vertical） scales, and the use of achievement levels in score reporting.
