The Relationship Between iReady Diagnostic and Mock Interim Assessments on Grades 3-5 Student Performance on TCAP Scores
Abstract
The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the relationship between iReady Spring
Diagnostic for Tennessee and Tennessee Mock Interim Assessment scores on students Grades 3-
5 Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) ELA and math scores. Participants
included 995 students from seven elementary schools in an Upper East Tennessee school district
who were administered the iReady Spring Diagnostic Assessments, the Tennessee Mock Interim
Assessments, and TCA P TNReady tests for ELA and math in Grades 3-5 in the 2020-2021
school year. Six major research questions and their subset questions and the null hypotheses
were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression. The results
indicated a significant relationship between iReady Spring Diagnostic and TCAP TNReaady test
scores in ELA and math for Grades 3-5. Similarly, there was a significant relationship between
Mock Interim Assessment scores and TCAP TNReady test scores in ELA and math for Grades
3-5. Multiple linear regression test revealed that iReady Spring Diagnostic Assessments and
Mock Interim Assessments were both significant predictors of TCAP TNReady test scores in
ELA and math for Grades 3-5. However, iReady Spring Diagnostic Assessments were stronger
predictors of ELA Grades 3-5 and math for Grades 3 and 5 than Mock Interim Assessments,
while Mock Interim Assessments were stronger predictors of TCAP TNReady math test scores
for Grade 4 than iReady Spring Diagnostic Assessments. The results suggest that both iReady
Spring Diagnostic Assessments and Tennessee Mock Interim Assessments are useful formative
assessment tools for ELA and math.
