| WWC QRRPST0611 | WWC Quick Review: Measuring the Effect of the Retrieval Practice Studying Technique
The WWC quick review of "Retrieval Practice Produces More Learning than Elaborative Studying with Concept Mapping" examines a study on whether using the retrieval practice studying technique improved student learning of a science text more than study-once, repeated-study or concept mapping. The study compared outcomes for 80 undergraduates at Purdue University asked to read a 276-word passage and then randomly assigned to use one of the four studying techniques. The study found that students using the retrieval practice technique scored significantly higher than students using the study-once, repeated-study, or concept mapping technique. The average percent of correct test questions for each group was 67% for retrieval practice, 27% for study-once, 49% for repeated-study, and 45% for concept mapping. The WWC rated the research described in this report as meeting WWC evidence standards. The study’s design is equivalent to a well-implemented randomized control trial. |

| NCES 2011004 | Highlights From PISA 2009: Performance of U.S. 15-Year-Old Students in Reading, Mathematics, and Science Literacy in an International Context
This report provides international comparisons of average performance in reading literacy and three reading literacy subscales and in mathematics literacy and science literacy. It includes the percentages of students reaching PISA proficiency levels, for the United States and the OECD countries on average, and trends in U.S. performance over time. It also reports average scores by gender for the United States and other countries and by student race/ethnicity and school socioeconomic contexts within the United States. Supplemental tables on the NCES website include additional data from PISA 2009, including the percentages of students in all PISA countries reaching the PISA proficiency levels and information on trends in performance around the world in reading, mathematics, and science literacy. After the initial release of the NCES PISA 2009 U.S. national report and supplemental tables, some minor changes were made to the report text and to the supplemental tables. View the errata notice for more detail. |

| NCES 2010024 | Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2007 U.S. public-use datafile
This datafile contains the U.S. TIMSS 2007 data, including data that were collected only in the United States and not included on the international database available from the IEA. The additional data relate to the race and ethnicity of students and the percentage of students in a school eligible for the Federal free and reduced lunch program, among other variables. This datafile is intended to be used in conjunction with the international datafile available from the IEA. A User Guide to the data is included in the U.S. TIMSS 2007 technical report, which is available online separately (publication number 2009012). |

| NCES 2009088 | Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003: U.S. Nonresponse Bias Analysis
This report is concerned with the extent of potential bias introduced into the 2003 U.S. study through nonresponse on the part of schools and students. Three bias analyses were conducted to address the issues of school nonresponse, student nonresponse, as well as possible achievement differences between students in the spring and fall testing sessions. The analysis compares selected characteristics likely to reflect bias in participation from participating and nonparticipating schools. The results suggest that there is little potential for nonresponse bias in the PISA original participating sample based on the characteristics studied. The results also suggest that, based on the characteristics studied, there is some potential for nonresponse bias in the PISA student sample, using base weights. |
