Abstract

Northern Illinois UniversityThe present study examined the effect accommodations have on test results of studentswith and without disabilities and documented experts judgments about the appropri-ateness of testing accommodations. Test score data were collected from 218 fourth-grade students with and without disabilities on mathematics and science performancetasks and from eight testing experts who evaluated the fairness and validity of a sampleof testing accommodations used with these students. Results indicated that, for moststudents with disabilities and some students without disabilities, packages of testingaccommodations had a moderate to large effect on performance task scores. Expertreviewers rated most accommodations for a student with disabilities as being both validand fair, and they gave accommodations listed on a students individualized educationprogram (IEP) signicantly higher validity and fairness ratings than accommodationsthat were not listed on the students IEP. Interpretations of these data are provided andimplications for practice and future research are discussed.Keywords:

测试住宿对数学和科学成绩评估的影响和感知后果。

本研究考察了住宿对残疾学生和非残疾学生考试成绩的影响，并记录了专家对考试住宿适当性的判断。测试成绩数据收集自218名四年级学生，这些学生有或没有残疾，他们在数学和科学方面的表现，以及8名测试专家，他们评估了这些学生使用的测试便利样本的公平性和有效性。结果表明，对于大多数有残疾的学生和一些没有残疾的学生，测试住宿包对表现任务得分有中等到较大的影响。专家评审员对残疾学生的大多数住宿都进行了有效和公平的评价，他们给学生的个性化教育计划(IEP)上列出的住宿的有效性和公平性评分明显高于没有在学生的IEP上列出的住宿。本文提供了对这些数据的解释，并讨论了对实践和未来研究的影响。关键词:
