Q

3 Forms of Time Sampling (WPM)

A

Whole Interval Recording
Partial Interval Recording
Momentary Time Sampling

19
Q

Planned Activity Check

A

A group version of momentary time sampling where the teacher count the number of students engaging in the behavior at the end of the interval

20
Q

Ethics Warning: Measurement

A

Select a measurement method that provides the most ethical and valid description of the target behavior

21
Q

Ethics Warning: Planning Observation

A

Truly capture what the target behavior really looks like when you conduct data collection

22
Q

Scheduling Observation and Recording Periods

A

Think about the time of day, week, weather conditions, task assignments, etc.

23
Q

3 Indicators of Trustworthy Measurement (VAR)

A

Validity
Accuracy
Reliability

24
Q

Vailidity

A

Directly measuring socially significant behaviors and ensuring that the data are representative of the behavior occurrence under conditions during relevant times.

25
Threats to Measurement Validity
Indirect Measurements, Measuring the wrong dimension of the target behavior, Measurement artifacts
26
Measurement Artifcacts
Discontinuous measurement Poorly scheduled measurement periods Insensitive/limited measurement scales
27
Accuracy
The extent to which the observed value matched the true value of an event
28
Measuring True Values
Process must be different than the measurement procedure for the observed values.
29
Reliability
the extent to which a measurement procedure uyiled the same value when brought into repeated contact with the same state of nature.
30
Threats to Measurement Reliability
Human error Poorly designed measurement Inadequate observer training Expectations about what the data should look like
31
Observer Drift
hen an observer unknowingly alters the way they measure a behavior
32
Measurement Bias
Nonrandom measurement error that is likely to be in one direction.
33
Observer Reactivity
Measurement error resulting from an observer's knowledge that others are evaluating the data that she reports
34
Interobserver Agreement
The degree to which 2 or more independent observers report the same values after measuring the same events
35
3 Requisites for Obtaining IOA
Observing must use the same measurement System Same Event Observers must be independent
36
4 Event Recording IOA's (TMET)
Total Count IOA Mean Count-per-Interval IOA Exact Count-per-Interval IOA Trial by Trial IOA
37
2 Timing/Duration IOA's (TM)
Total Duration IOA | Mean Duration-per-Occurrence IOA
38
3 Interval Recording/Time Sampling IOAs (ISU)
Interval-by-Interval IOA Scored Interval IOA Unscored Interval IOA
39
Total Count IOA
Smaller number divided by larger number multiplied by 100%
40
Mean Count-per-Interval IOA
INT1 IOA + INT2 IOA etc. divided by the total number of intervals.
41
Exact Count-per-Interval IOA
Number of Intervals of 100% IOA divided by Total number of intervals times 100%
42
Trial by Trial IOA
of trials of agreement divided by total number of trials times 100%
43
Total Duration IOA
Shorter Duration / Longer Duration x 100%
44
Mean Duration-per-Occurrence IOA
IOAB1 + IOAB2 etc / # of Behaviors with duration IOA that occurred
