Abstract

As IPCC ARs stated, global warming is estimated based on the average from 1850 to 1900 (global average temperature of preindustrialization estimated from relatively sparse observations). Given the impossibility of massive increasing observation data in the early stages, accurately constraining this baseline has become an unresolved issue. Here we developed a new statistical physical model to quantify the contribution of external forcings to global warming as a "deterministic trend" of the surface temperature series (instead of as non-stationary processes that yield a stochastic trend) and constrained the reconstruction of the early time series (1850-1880). We find that the existing datasets slightly overestimated the temperature anomalies in this period, thus the speed of global warming since pre-industrialization is still underestimated.

2. Preparing Students for Standardized Testing: A Literature Review. Publication No. 81.61.

Author

Austin Independent School District, TX. Office of Research and Evaluation., Jones, Phil, and Ligon, Glynn D.

Abstract

Three variables which affect students' achievement test scores and which can be manipulated prior to test administration are discussed: testwiseness, practice tests, and test practice. Findings were presented from literature reviews. Regarding testwiseness, (1) it can be described, measured, and taught, therefore, testwiseness exists; (2) testwiseness is only mildly related to general intelligence as measured by group intelligence tests and is probably a network of specific skills, not a general cognitive ability; (3) testwiseness increases with maturity and is unrelated to sex; (4) although testwiseness skills can be taught to students of all ages, using a variety of techniques, the affects of such instruction do not last long; (5) the differential effects of testwiseness instruction for students at various points along the testwiseness continuum is unknown and may vary with the type of testwiseness skill under consideration; and, (6) for some groups of students, testwiseness instruction improves the reliability and predictive power of certain tests. No research was found on practice tests' effects on student performance or on the reliability or predictive power of the associated test. Regarding test practice, it was found that taking one IQ test once for practice will improve IQ scores on a subsequent test given no more than two months later, and practice effects may last as long as ten months if the posttest is the same as or a parallel form to the pretest.

3. Preparing Students for Standardized Testing: One District's Perspective.

Author

Ligon, Glynn and Jones, Phil

Abstract

So that comparisons of achievement test scores across campuses would be unaffected by variations in test preparation activities, the Austin Independent School District has set out to standardize all testwiseness instructions and practice testing across the school system. Appropriate preparation activity was defined as that which contributes to students' performance on the test near their true achievement levels, and which contributes more to their scores than would an equal amount of regular classroom instruction. The program concentrated on basic testwiseness skills, as advanced tactics often required more skill than the skill being measured by the test item. Research showed that test practice was beneficial if done once, near the time of the actual test. Skills taught to all students included: following directions, understanding item formats, understanding a test's terminology, symbols and procedures, using time wisely, checking answers, marking answers properly, knowing how to ask questions about the test, being physically ready to take the test, and thinking logically. The attached materials for preparing students (and teachers) for standardized tests include: Guidelines for Test Administrators, Packets for the Preparation of Students for Standardized Testing, All-Purpose Answer Sheet, and Explanation and Examples of Testwiseness Cues.
