ctbjs Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Results are due for download to servers today, has anyone got them yet? How do you view your results, do you import into Excel?
ctbjs Posted July 6, 2007 Author Posted July 6, 2007 Our ICT Cluster decided that they would run with it this year and await further developments. Despite not now becoming a statutory requirement the NAA are still pushing forward with development to use the project as an assist to students to try and help their performance. My guess is they are still hoping that by keeping themselves visible they might be brought back into the fray in the future. It would be interesting to know how many schools ARE actually still doing these tests. Perhaps I should have started with a survey!! Oh well.
russdev Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Think figure of schools doing it is about 80% and there are some very good reasons for doing it which can't go into but there is post by Paul which has some very good reasons if only to get these teacher levels sorted out But we will be doing new version of software next year as what we have seen it will be a very useful tool. As matter in hand results should be down any time know and you goto on the aps manage tests click on the test and click results. Then getting into to excel save as csv.. Russ

bossman Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 We are still using them and touch wood have had no problems so far (crosses fingers as we download the results) will keep you posted on how it goes.
plexer Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 We were going to carry on with them but because our MIS mangled it's plasc export so I couldn't use that to import the pupils we gave up. Ben
bossman Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Wow it really works all test results are in and available. *faints*
bossman Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Remember also being released in batches... Russ What!? yer mean like "Homing Pigeons" :)
russdev Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 lol As far as I have been told you should see your results now... So come on who is going to be first to post % russ
Pottsey Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 “Think figure of schools doing it is about 80%†I was surprised to read that I get the impression around here its more like 80 to 90% not using it. Does that 80% cover schools like us that have it installed but don’t use it? We skipped testing this year as its not suitable for us. But its left installed incase it improves.
russdev Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Well here is from offcial document "In 2007, 1191 schools and 124,298 pupils took part in the summative pilot test. Across the pilot schools the results were as follows:" Not sure what % that is will ask... Russ
Jake Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Yup , got our results downloaded and printed out and whipped over to the exams officer. Our results were all pretty irrelevant though as in the end SMT just decided to blanket enter every student at the same ILA level
Sylv3r Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Teaching assesment grades to the grades the students got using the KS3 Pilot software were very close if not exact in most cases. We also had a higher % of level 6 and level 5 students then the national average.
ctbjs Posted July 6, 2007 Author Posted July 6, 2007 @Sylv3r national average....which is what? We got ours just after 10 had to run the download manually but everything worked well with very positive results
russdev Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Once again for 3rd year in a row (I love saying that) we are above the national average by quite a bit on all accounts. All out students came in at level 4 or above. The national average was sent in document to all named contacts but for peoples info here is details.. N 5.8 3 5.2 4 38.3 5 35 6 15.7 So national average for level 5 and above is 50% and we are on 70%. So some very happy people here... Russ
morph Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Hey Russ What on earth does N 5.8 stand for and why no 7's or above????? Simon
russdev Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 N stands for as in all sats test no grade aka they got below level 3. As for level 7 & 8 again like most national sats when they start the trails they don't do levels 7/8 as concentrate on levels 3-6 and then bring in levels 7/8 further down line. In fact first year of trailing level 7/8 was last year and this year was to be second but now the software has new focus they put level 7/8 stuff on hold. Russell
morph Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Have you any idea what the actual non SATs TEST "National" levels might beas this will be the dench mark that depts are measured against??
russdev Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 If you are asking what levels will be used in new refocused software next year then at moment I think (but don't quote me on it) it will be levels 3-6. To a point the software is now to inform teacher assignment levels and this mean how it will be used will be different in each school. What you need to do over next year is look at software and if plan to use it look at how in fits into your ict teaching program. The testing element is one part of the new software. Russell
