The List Report provides a summary of results for a group of students who have taken the same test. Each individual’s results are provided as well as summary statistics for the whole group. Teachers/management can navigate statistics quickly to either isolate target groups to consider scale position or conduct a baseline health check using the scale - who has benefitted from the teaching and who has not.
List Reports contain the following group and individual statistics:
Test group statistics
- Number in class
- The class mean on the subject scale alongside the year group's national mean (in brackets)
- The standard deviation of class estimates - i.e. the range of scores either side of the mean that most students fall into
- A mean stanine for the class - national mean is always stanine 5 (national mean)
Individual statistics
- The raw test score
- The scale estimate with margin of error
- The number of items omitted
- An individual stanine score
Ideas for using the LIST Report:
- Inquiry re critical thinking or scientific knowledge: Use the Ordering Toggles in the Scale score column and order scale scores from lowest to highest - select the students at risk (their scale score vs the national mean).Only look at THEIR individual reports for trends and patterns of strand knowledge and specific scientific skills (graphs/diagrams/flow charts etc) they haven't picked up. Design a learning programme targetted to these skills. The other students in the class seem to be responding well to the previous teaching and learning.
- Identifying traits of successful science learners - Use the Scale Range Toggle to identify groups of students at a similar scale level. Reviewing 2 or 3 reports may reveal trends and patterns for next step teaching. YOU DO NOT ALWAYS NEED TO READ AND ANALYSE EVERY REPORT.
- REMEMBER: Every time you read a student's name you can click through to their individual report.
