Title of Collection: A study of 

reliability and consequential validity of 

a mathematics diagnostic assessment 

system in Georgia. 

OMB Control Number: 1850—NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 44. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 606. 

Abstract: Several school districts in 

Georgia (including Forsyth and Jefferson 

Counties) currently use the Individual 

Knowledge Assessment of Number 

(IKAN; New Zealand Ministry of 

Education, 2011) and the Global 

Strategy Stage (GloSS; New Zealand 

Ministry of Education, 2012) as part of 

a diagnostic assessment system within 

their multi-tiered systems of support. 

The IKAN and GloSS assessments were 

designed for use in Grades K–8 (GaDOE, 

2015). 

IKAN provides information on 

students’ number knowledge (that is, 

magnitude comparisons, knowledge of 

base 10 system and meaning of decimals 

and fractions), and the GloSS provides 

information on strategies students use 

when solving mathematical problems. 

When used together, the IKAN and 

GloSS assessments furnish teachers 

with information on how students solve 

mathematics problems and students’ 

understanding of whole and rational 

number concepts. Teachers can then use 

the information from the assessments to 

tailor their instruction to students’ 

levels of understanding and address 

problems that underlie lack of success 

with grade-level curriculum. 

The Georgia Department of Education 

(GaDOE) has received positive feedback 

through testimonials from district-level 

personnel and math coaches supporting 

the use of IKAN/GloSS. Yet, very 

limited psychometric data exists to 

support the use of these measures. 

GaDOE has not conducted reliability or 

validity studies using its student 

population. While many studies have 

been conducted in New Zealand by the 

Ministry of Education, participating 

Georgia school districts and the GaDOE 

are interested in psychometric data 

using teachers and students in their 

state in the context of their state system 

of standards, assessments, and 

accountability. Thus, through the 

Improving Mathematics Research 

Alliance, the GaDOE requested REL 

Southeast conduct a study to determine 

the reliability and validity of the IKAN/ 

GloSS diagnostic assessments. 

The three research questions guiding 

the project relate to the inter-assessor 

reliability of the GloSS and IKAN 

assessments when administered by two 

assessors within a one-week period and 

the consequential validity of using 

IKAN and GloSS diagnostic assessments 

(that is, teachers’ perception of their 

instructional utility for providing 

intervention). 

Student data from the IKAN and 

GloSS assessments administered by 

teachers and mathematics coaches will 

be used to answer the two research 

questions related to the inter-assessor 

reliability studies.
