| Abstract | For the past two decades, Purdue University has been using student self-reports to provide information that has proved to be invaluable in educational planning and development. These critical student inputs are used to help place students in beginning courses, to identify high-risk and honors students, to evaluate the quality of courses, services and resources, to initiate and evaluate existing and new programs, and to help students make career decisions. The paper discusses the use of self-reports of beginning students using the Mathematics Science Inventory (MSI). The MSI has 100 mathematics items organized into six mathematics sub-scales and 50 chemistry items organized into five chemistry sub-scales. All of the MSI scales have very high reliability and differential validity. Use of student self-reports in placement and in evaluating achievement and their relationships to high school and college grades and test scores are also examined. The MSI was completed by over 1500 first year Purdue Engineering students at the beginning of their first academic year MSI data was part of the statistical procedures used to place beginning students in mathematics and chemistry courses. A representative sample of 250 students were re-administered the MSI at the end of the first semester Significant achievement gains were observed in all of the MSI scales. The differential validity of the MSI scales were also documented. Students in the remedial courses had post-test scores similar to the pre-test scores of students in the regular courses. Students in the regular courses had post-test scores similar to students in the advanced courses. Students in the advanced courses also showed significant pre/post test mean score gains. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
