Presentation Transcript

  1. Michigan Merit Examination (MME)Science OEAA Fall, 2006 Conference Rodger H. Epp MDE Science Assessment Consultant

  2. MME Science The MME science test is a required component of the MME. MME = ACT + Work Keys + Mathematics + Science + Social Studies supplemental tests NCLB requires a sufficient assessment of the science curriculum. The ACT science items align only to Strand 1 of the Michigan Science Curriculum Framework

  3. MME Science Prerequisites for this presentation are: The Michigan Science Curriculum Framework (MSCF, Summer, 2000) see, http://www.michigan.gov/documents/MichiganCurriculumFramework_8172_7.pdf and The Michigan’s new high school Science Content Expectations (SCEs, October, 2006) see, http://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,1607,7-140-38924---,00.html The following presentation uses and requires familiarity with the organization and coding of the above documents.

  4. MME Science The MME Science Test Blueprint Spring and Fall ’07 & ’08 Aligned to the Michigan Science Curriculum Framework (Summer, 2000) ACT test OEAA Science Supplemental -- 40 (science) MC items -- 44 MC items (0 CR items) -- aligned to Strand I -- aligned to Strands II, III, IV, & V

  5. MME Science The 44 operational items have the following distribution against the Michigan Science Curriculum Framework Strand II with 1 domain will have 5 test items Strands III, IV, & V will have 3 test items per domain Strand III has 5 domains for 15 test items Strand IV has 4 domains for 12 test items Strand V has 4 domains for 12 test items Table 1 lists the number of benchmarks per domain; the 3 items within a domain could align with 1 to 3 benchmarks

  6. MME Science OEAA will produce 8 forms of the MME Science test in 2007 and 2008. Each form will have the same 44 operational test items. Forms will differ by the 8 field test items included on each form. The field test items are integrated, undistinguished, among the operational items. Field test items are NOT used to measure student performance

  7. MME Science MME & the New Michigan High School Science Content Expectations (SCEs, October, 2006) OEAA does NOT plan to offer the MME aligned to the SCEs before Spring, 2009. Any plans regarding test design for a SCE-based Spring 2009 MME Science test are only in initial stages. The final plan needs to receive OEAA, MDE, and U.S. DOE approval.

  8. MME Science The Spring 2009 MME Science test design task: The MME science test will represent the 2009 SCEs with a Standard-base / standard matrix / field test design. The supplemental science MME will cover essential SCE in Science Reflection and Social Implications, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, and Physics Assess student performance against SCE content, standards setting
