II. The economics assessment grade 12

The NAEP economics assessment includes items classified across three interrelated components: economics content knowledge areas, cognitive categories, and contextual settings. The three economics content knowledge areas and the respective amount of assessment time specified for each content area appear in the table below.

NAEP Economics Framework Distribution of

Question Pool Across Economics Content Area

Grade 12

The Market Economy 45%

The National Economy 40%

The International Economy 15%

The three cognitive categories describe the primarycognitive demands assessment items maymake on students participating in the NAEP assessment. The NAEP framework calls for students to spend approximately 33 percent of their assessment time on items from each category. The three cognitive categories for economics items are the following:

Knowing Applying Reasoning

Individual and Household (20 to 30%) Business (20 to 30%) Public (20 to 30%) Other Contexts (0 to 10%) Context-Free (0 to 10%) Multiple Contexts (0 to 10%)

7 economicsgrade 12

The NAEP economics frameworkcalls for economics items to be written in a variety of contextual settings appropriate to real-world situations and to the variety of ways in which students learn economic concepts. The following ranges of assessment time are specified bythe frameworkfor each of the contexts:

The assessment consists of multiple-choice, short constructed-response, and extended constructed-response questions. The constructed-response questions make up approxi-mately 40 percent of the assessment time.For more information regarding the economics assessment frameworkplease visit http://www.nagb.org/publications/frameworks.htm.
