| Abstract | This paper describes and evaluates a computerized system, MATCH, which is being used in South Carolina to match or link student records from year to year. The functioning of MATCH and its specific features are described, and its use in matching student test scores is detailed. The problem of mismatched records and the use of visual editing to lower the rate of mismatches are then discussed. Other current educational research applications of the system are also detailed, including expectancy tables, retention and mobility rates, the evolution of a preschool program, and research on the Program for Effective Teaching. It is suggested that the system provides a way to undertake research and evaluation that has been not been previously possible because of the high costs of creating longitudinal databases for large scale assessment data. The text is supplemented by four tables and an appendix containing rules for deciding whether a match is valid. (7 references) (EW) |
