NAEP Technical DocumentationTreatment of Items in the Scaling of the 2001 National Geography Scales (Accommodations Not Permitted)

The following items are provided.

Items Deleted From the Final Scaling
Cluster Items Created for Final Scaling
Recoding of Polytomous Item Categories for Scaling

12	Space and place	G5	G017201	To match 1994 scaling
		G9	G027101	To match 1994 scaling
		G8	G025402	Poor Fit
	Environment and society	G3	G021201	To match 1994 scaling
	Spatial dynamics and connections	1994	G022701	To match 1994 scaling
