Abstract | In order to appropriately interpret norm referenced measures, we need to know the characteristics of persons in the standardization sample. Mercer (1977) states that evidence from three sources should be examined when deciding if pluralistic norms are needed. First, do racial-ethnic groups differ on important social, economic, and cultural characteristics? Second, do they also differ in their test performce? And, third, do these socio-cultural characteristics correlate with test performance? Affirmative answers to these questions would suggest the need for pluralistic norms. The Estimated Learning Potential (ELP) is a statistical device which, if its validity is established, may help make equitable comparisons among children of different ethnic groups. (Author) |
