Question level - summary report

The Question level – summary report displays the average score for the learner selection for each question in one test. It can be useful for identifying question types or specific curriculum areas a group of learners may be struggling with or excelling in. 

After selecting the report from the report screen in NOA, there will be a prompt to select an assessment, if not already chosen. (see Select assessment or learner name) For this report, the test must also be selected. The report data will then display for all the learners in the selection.   

In the example below, Year 4 Autumn Maths Test 1 has been selected for Year 4 Cheetahs. The top right of the report displays the number of learners in the selection. The key in this report shows the colours used to compare the performance of the learner selection against the average of the learners in the standardisation sample. 

• Select ‘View learners’ to open the Question level – all learners report showing individual learner detail. 

The table lists all the questions in the selected test. Select ‘View’ to see the question with an example of a correct response. 

The ‘No. of learners’ column shows the number of learners in the selection for each question for whom marking is complete. The rest of the learner data for each question is formed from these learners. As marking is completed the data will continually update.  

For example, for question 1, the ‘Average of learner selection’, ‘Difference from standardisation sample’ and ‘Omitted % learner selection’ are based on all 28 learners. For question 2, there is only data for 22 learners. This will update as the teacher marking is completed. 

The difference between the ‘Average of the learner selection’ and the ‘Average of the standardisation sample’ is highlighted in different colours as described in the key. This means that the selected learners’ performance for each question can be seen at a glance. 

All the columns can be sorted using the double arrow button. For example, the questions can be sorted by ‘Curriculum area’ enabling an easy view of strengths and weaknesses for a particular area, or by ‘Omitted’ to identify questions that a high percentage of learners are not answering. The curriculum areas in these reports are shown by the curriculum codes assigned to each area.
