Abstract
Responses of 17-year-olds to selected 1977-78 National
Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
mathematics exercises were analyzed, using latent
class models. A single model was fitted to data from
five independent samples of examinees, each of which
responded to a different set of six algebra or prealgebra
exercises. Four categories of items were found,
defining five levels of content mastery, ranging from
examinees unable to solve any of the exercises (43%)
through those able to solve all the exercises (19%).
The methods demonstrated are broadly applicable to
assessment data, including matrix-sampled data, and
provide an aggregate description of examinee abilities
independent of the specific characteristics of individual
exercises administered.
