Achievement Scores and Educational Objectives.

This report deals with new ways to look at achievement test scores as measures of educational outcomes. It attempts to show how existing data might be used more productively by planners and evaluators, by suggesting how test score statistics other than the mean might be used, and how they might indicate success along a wide variety of educational objectives. The report is a theoretical effort in which the empirical behavior of the proposed new statistics is examined briefly. (BB)
