Abstract | This study of four national English language arts college readiness standards sets compares content alignment and level of alignment of the standards statements in three comparison sets to a benchmark set, the American Diploma Project (ADP), and analyzes the cognitive complexity of all four sets. Specifically, this report addresses two primary research questions: (1) For what percentage of content statements in the American Diploma Project college readiness standards set (the benchmark) is there a completely or partially aligned content statement in each of the other three sets of comparison standards (ACT, College Board, Standards for Success); and (2) For each standards set what is the distribution of content statements across the four levels of a cognitive complexity (cognitive demand) scale? Standards statements in the comparison sets align completely or partially to varying proportions of the ADP benchmark's 62 standards statements--77 percent for the College Board College Readiness Standards, 68 percent for Standards for Success, and 34 percent for the ACT College Readiness Standards. Only 5 percent of the ADP statements completely align with content in all three comparison sets, a share that rises to 27 percent when partial alignment is also considered. A majority of statements in the four sets (53-68 percent) were rated level 3 on a four-level cognitive complexity scale. Appended to this report are: (1) Methodology; (2) Reviewer Qualifications and Roles and Interrater Reliability; (3) Content Alignment by American Diploma Project Strand; (4) Unaligned Standards Statements from Benchmark and Comparison Standards Sets; (5) Webb's Cognitive Complexity Level Descriptions; (6) Cognitive Complexity by Strand for All Four College Readiness Standards Sets; and (7) Alternate Content Alignment Methodologies. (Contains 1 box, 11 figures, 22 tables, and 12 notes.) (ERIC). |
