June 2008
First impressions• Items worked well, can comprise single
scale (NRC 2, p10)• CIVED trend set can be scaled with and
used for single (NRC 2 pp16,17)• Test time per item seemed appropriate
according to ‘not reached’ – still to be investigated further
• No pattern of gender DIF by item type or substance (NRC 2, p12)
• Some patterns of ‘regional’ item-by-country interaction (NRC 2, p15)

First impressions (cont.)
• Open-ended response items showed higher ‘non-attempts’ and slightly more variability (item-by-country interaction and opportunity for inter-rater reliability issues) (NRC 2, p17)
• Targeting good (NRC 2, p9)

Open-ended response item scoring guides
• Revision:– Structural changes informed by
suggestions from countries*– Addition of “real” student responses (thank
you to Julie Nelson at NFER)– Addition of relevant scoring codes on the
advice of countries*
* Feedback from NRCs through questions, voluntary reports and field-trial operations survey.
– Finalisation of scoring guides at the marker training seminar in Hamburg

Part 2Group discussions of items
NRCMeetingWindsor
June 2008
Context of Group Discussions
• Assessment framework developed in consultation with NRCs and other experts before the field-trial.
• All countries invited to submit items before field-trial
• All items made available for online feedback by NRCs before the field-trial
• All items revised on the basis of the online feedback for the field-trial and approved for inclusion at the NRC meeting in Rome.
NRCMeetingWindsor
June 2008
Context for Group Discussions
• Field-trial empirical data collected from 31 countries and approx. 19, 000 students
• Recommendations for changes to instrument are based on empirical (and some qualitative) data from the field trial.
NRCMeetingWindsor
June 2008
Context for Group Discussions
• The only changes that can be made to the cognitive instrument now are:
1. Deletion of items2. Minor changes to items only if we are
very confident that a change will fix a problem (and not introduce a new problem)
3. Amendments to the scoring guides
NRCMeetingWindsor
June 2008
Context for Group Discussions
• All items with “good” data are to be included in the MS instrument
• Groups to consider each of the ISC recommendations and make one of three recommendations for each:
1. Accept definitive ISC recommendation
2. Reject definitive ISC recommendation (delete item)
3. Offer alternative “solution” to ISC recommendation
