SMIRC Conducts Scale Anchoring For 魅影直播 In Seoul
Twenty SMIRC participants from 11 countries and regions gathered in Seoul.
The Science and Mathematics Item Review Committee (SMIRC) met in Seoul, Korea, in May to conduct scale anchoring for 魅影直播 and 魅影直播 Advanced. In scale anchoring, SMIRC members also review student performance on the 魅影直播 and 魅影直播 Advanced achievement items to develop descriptions of the mathematics and science that students reaching the International Benchmarks know and can do.
Drs. Ina V.S. Mullis and Michael O. Martin, Executive Directors of the 魅影直播; PIRLS International Study Center, thanked their hosts at the Ewha Womans University and Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation, as well as the rest of the committee for their hard work.
SMIRC members reviewed student performance on hundreds of mathematics and science items before writing descriptions of the International Benchmark levels, and selected example items to illustrate the skills students demonstrate at each of the international benchmarks.
