Abstract: The Middle Grades
Longitudinal Study of 2016–2017
(MGLS:2017) is the first study
sponsored by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), within the
Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of
the U.S. Department of Education (ED),
to follow a nationally-representative
sample of students as they enter and
move through the middle grades (grades
6–8). The data collected through
repeated measures of key constructs will
provide a rich descriptive picture of the
academic experiences and development
of students during these critical years
and will allow researchers to examine
associations between contextual factors
and student outcomes. The study will
focus on student achievement in
mathematics and literacy along with
measures of student socioemotional
wellbeing and other outcomes. The
study will also include a special sample
of students with different types of
disabilities that will provide descriptive
information on their outcomes,
educational experiences, and special
education services. Baseline data for the
MGLS:2017 will be collected from a
nationally-representative sample of 6th
grade students in winter of 2017 with
annual follow-ups in winter 2018 and
winter 2019 when most of the students
in the sample will be in grades 7 and 8,
respectively. This request is to contact
and recruit public school districts and
public and private schools to participate
in the winter 2016 concurrent item
validation and operational field tests for
the MGLS: 2017. The primary purpose
of the Item Validation Field Test is to
determine the psychometric properties
of items and the predictive potential of
assessment and survey items so that
valid, reliable, and useful assessment
and survey instruments can be
composed for the main study. The
primary purposes of the Operational
Field Test are to obtain information on
recruiting, particularly for the targeted
disability groups; on obtaining a
tracking sample that can be used to
study mobility patterns in subsequent
years; and on administrative
procedures.
