Method for Identifying Accommodations StudiesThis searchable bibliography was started in response to the need for updated information on research on accommodations. In 1999, Tindal and Fuchs created a summary of research on test changes for the Mid-South Regional Resource Center (MSRRC). Because of the dramatic increase in research on this topic, both Tindal and Fuchs and MSRRC encouraged NCEO to commit to updating the database on accommodations research. This online searchable bibliography is our commitment to this important endeavor.For this online database, all studies summarized in Tindal and Fuchs are included, with the exception of those that considered collaborative groups, performance-based assessment, computer adaptive testing, and instruction in test-taking strategies as accommodations. Additional studies were identified for inclusion in the accommodations bibliography using a method similar to that used by Tindal and Fuchs. Four indexes (Digital Dissertations, ERIC, Education Abstracts, and PsycInfo) were searched for studies using the following keywords: test
changes standardized testing Applied Measurement in Education B.C. Journal of Special Education British Journal of Special Services Assessment for Effective Intervention Educational Assessment Educational and Psychological Measurement Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice Educational Psychologist Educational Psychology Educational Researcher Exceptional Children Journal of Educational Measurement Journal of Learning Disabilities Journal of School Psychology Journal of Special Education Learning Disability Quarterly Remedial and Special Education School Psychology Review Websites of organizations that frequently publish accommodation studies were also searched. These included the following: Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing The College Board Research Library Wisconsin Center for Educational Research Behavioral Research and Teaching Accommodation papers presented at annual meetings of the following organizations were also identified: American Educational Research Association, Council of Chief State School Officers, and National Council on Measurement in Education.
