12/01/2001 The SAT Program undertook two studies aimed at evaluating the impact of allowing students to indicate more than one ethnic/racial category. Results of this study indicated that there is little impact on DIF analyses when different definitions of ethnic/racial classifications are used compared to traditionally defined classifications. Unitl the percentage of students representing multiple ethnic/racial categories increases, it is unlikely that current testing practices need to be modified. |
