Performance Analysis

Back to Contents


• Be information rich not data rich• Analyse assessment results - grades, points/marks or

ages• Identify pupils for intervention• Variety of analysis grids available

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids

• Analyse one or more groups of pupils

• Example: Grade / Points Distribution – view one assessment and look at the distribution of grades / points for the group(s)


Single or multiple groups can be

viewed

Displays either a count or

percentage at each grade/mark


Example: Grade / Points Average – view multiple assessments and look at the average grade or points score for the group(s)


Individual attainment can be

viewed

Displays average grade for the group in each assessment


Outcome Type changed to Mean Value

(Points Score)


Gender Filters can be quickly applied allowing comparison between the genders and cohort as a whole


Display rows for each group showing entire group and

gender split


Group Filters facilitate the analysis of vulnerable groups


Include / Exclude allows very specific

filtering

Filters match those used in

RAISEOnline

Filters can be saved and shared across

SIMS


• Graphing functionality generates graphs with one mouse click

• Most types of analysis grids have graphing functionality available


Detail of analysis displayed

Graph type can be changed

Performance Analysis – Aspect Analysis Grids

• Designed to look at several assessments at the same time for one group of pupils

• View either the latest results or results from a certain point in time (Result Set)


Assessments (Aspects) displayed

in rows

Analysis by grade, points score/marks

or ages


• View all results held in SIMS or specify a group of pupils

• Filter by gender

• Custom Filter to view specific pupils in the group


Performance Analysis – Result Set Analysis Grids

• Analyse assessments at different points in time

• View grade distribution, marks, ages or average grades/points score



Performance Analysis – Chance Analysis Grids

• Compare the relationship between results for two different assessments (Input and Output) – could be same Aspect but different points in time

• Useful for understanding current/future attainment based on historical

Performance Analysis – Chance Analysis Grids

Output specified in columns

Input specified in rows

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Review)

• Plot an Input and Outcome and compare result against national trend lines

• School progression lines can be generated, based on actual results


Actual Results plotted against the

line

National progression line appropriate to input/outcomeThe larger the

circle, the more pupils with that

result


National line in red (see key)

School line in green


Individual Outcomes shows actual, expected and difference

Choice of scores or grades


Group Outcomes shows actual

versus expected

Count or percentage – cumulative available

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Prediction)

• Generate predictions for future attainment

• Use national or school progression lines


Predictions will be plotted on the progresion line

National progression line

used


School trend line added and predictions

generated for both lines


Individual Outcomes for both lines comparison

and difference calculated


Group Outcomes compares the

two predictions

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Value Added

• Similar functionality to Trend Analysis: Progression

• Plot results against national or school value added lines

• Review results or generate predictions

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Value Added

Results plotted against national line can be used to generate school line

Performance Analysis – Tracking Grids

• Similar to ISP Grids

• Visually establish if progress / attainment is satisfactory or if intervention required

• Analyse grades, marks/scores or ages

• Graphs can be generated


Target cells allow calculation of on / above /

below target

Rows relate to Result Sets – analyse assessment over

time

Target cells identify national

benchmark


Plot attainment from one term to another

(Result Set)

Target identifies expected progress


Compare two subjects against

national benchmark


Benchmarks may be the same for each row or different

Compare attainment of groups
