Access Dynamic Item Analysis Reports
Access Dynamic Item Analysis Reports
Dynamic Item Analysis by Test report that focuses on items and related domains or strands for performance.
Teachers can base their academic goals and align their curriculums with these results to effectively influence student learning.
Depending on your project, you may see links to view the items, student responses, and rubrics.
The Pearson Access Report Builder dynamically generates reports based on selections you make in each Report Builder section — Who, What, and How. You can change your criteria and generate various reports for different organizations, student groups, or test(s).
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Who | Includes organizations and student groupings. By default, all organizations and groupings are selected.
|
| What | Includes subjects, tests, administrations, and available report types. |
| How | Includes columns and rows that affect how data appears within the report. |
Prerequisites
- Confirm your role and project under your name, and your district or school in the Organization dropdown. If you have access to multiple projects or organizations, click each dropdown to select the one(s) you want to view.
The Pearson Access user interface and available options change based on the organization level to which you are pinned. If you select a district or school, you see different options than if you are pinned to a local education agency (LEA) or department of education (DOE).
- Tests must have been previously scored. Pearson provides these reports based on responses received from your class. This report only reflects those provided responses.
Step-by-Step
From the main menu, click (or tap) Report Builder.
Click an organization or grouping in the Who section, and select from the available options. Click Confirm. By default, all Who options are selected.
- Select at least one Subject and academic year in the What section. Click Confirm for each.
- Click Report Type and select a report type, and then click Confirm.
5. You can also scroll past Report Type to expand options in the How (Columns) and How (Rows) sections to indicate how data appears. The report can include these columns, if selected.
Columns also vary by project:
- Score Type indicates the score the student earned (for example, raw or scale).
- Score indicates the test's hierarchical level at which the score is being provided. For example, the Overall Test, the domain, the strand, or the subject.
- Non-Numeric Score displays any information that an administrator or teacher wants to detail on student performance.
- % Correct graph outline represents 100%, and the color within the outline represents the percent correct.
- Performance (Level) indicates the performance level.
Test Count indicates the number of students included in that row.
