What is content focus?
"Content focus" is a term that defines the specific content measured by each Spring 2013 U.S. History
EOC Assessment test item.
The Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) benchmarks and content foci assessed on the
Spring 2013 U.S. History EOC Assessment are not predictive of future U.S. History EOC Assessments.
What cautions should be considered when using Content Focus Reports?
Content Focus Reports should not be used to make decisions about instruction at the individual student
level. Some reporting categories have too few test items to report reliable or meaningful scores at the
student level. While well-intended, providing remedial instruction in a specific reporting category may
not be justified and may be an inefficient use of instructional time. Content focus data should not be
used as sole indicators to determine remedial needs of students.
When interpreting content focus data, the following cautions and information should also be
considered:
•
•
•
•
•
The number of items in a reporting category may vary from one year to another. Consequently,
users should not compare performance data such as mean percent correct.
Mean content area scores for each test form might be different; therefore, users should not
compare content area scores across test forms.
The difficulty of the items measuring each benchmark will vary from one year to the next.
Consequently, users should not compare content area scores across years.
The analysis is based on state-level data that are not intended to provide specific classroom,
school, or district interpretations.
Scale score values cannot accurately be determined using Content Focus Reports for a number
of reasons. For instance, test scores are generated from students’ performance on the entirety
of the test, which accounts for the difficulty (also called cognitive complexity) of test items.
How may content area scores be used?
Guidance on how content area scores may be used by schools and districts is provided on pages 10-11 of
Understanding Florida End-of-Course Assessment Reports, Spring 2013 (PDF).
