CH 4

Question 1

ACE behaviors (attention comprehension and Effort)

Answer 1

• all assessments assume the children being assessed they are fully attending the task at hand
• understand exactly what they are expected to do.
• give full effort

Question 2

administration behaviors

Answer 2

-define how an assessment should be administered and scored.

Question 3

alternate form

Answer 3

• methods for testing reliability
• 2 equivilant forms of test are created
• children split in half and administered the tests
• divide two groups

Question 4

Split half

Answer 4

• other method of testing

- single test is administered to one group of children then divided into 2 forms.

Question 5

concurrent validity

Answer 5

-statistically measures the relationship between an existing instrument with established validity and a new instrument that assesses the same attribute.

Question 6

construct validity

Answer 6

• concerned with demonstrating that what an assessment item measures is representative of a construct.
• ex; sportsmanship, anxiety, and coordination

Question 7

Criterion (predictive) Validity

Answer 7

examines the degree to which one or more test scores can be used to predict performance on a future related event.

Question 8

Content Validity

Answer 8

concerns collecting evidence to support that what is measured by the instrument reflects what the instrument is designed to measure.

Question 9

Face (Logical) Validity

Answer 9

• simplest and most subjective source of validity
• evidence to support an assessment instrument.
• needs to be a direct connection.

Question 10

validity

Answer 10

• function of what is measured by the test

- how the test results are used.

Question 11

Reliability

Answer 11

instrument refers to the consistency of the result obtained over multiple administrations.

Question 12

Norms

Answer 12

-there to help teachers interpret how their students are performing compared with other students, who have taken same assessment.

Question 13

Objectivity

Answer 13

• special reliability

- focuses on the consistency of the results obtained by the same assessor across multiple administrations.

Question 14

intra-class correlation

Answer 14

is that is uses all the data that have been collected and allows for the variance to be examined from three sources.
1-students.
2-trials
3-interaction of students by trials

Question 15

Pearson product-moment

Answer 15

• test reliability
• uses all the data
• ??

Question 16

Scoring precision

Answer 16

• a function of what us measured and the amount of skill needed to make the measurements.

Question 17

Student performance variability

Answer 17

??

Question 18

Test-retest reliability

Answer 18

• simplest way to test reliability
• an instrument is administered twice to the same group of children and Ben a correlation, or degree of movement between results is calculated

Question 19

Intra and inter reliability

Answer 19

Go find the answers to this.
Tra one tester
Ter multiple testers

Question 20

PURPOSE OF CONDUCTING ANY ASSESSMENT

Answer 20

MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS AND TO COLLECT ACCURATE DATA. AND MORE

Question 21

TYPES OF VALIDITY

Answer 21

• FACE
• CONTENT
• CONCURRENT
• CONSTRUCT
• CRITERION

Question 22

THREE MAJOR FACTORS THAT EFFECT RELIABILITY OF ASSESSMENT:

Answer 22

1. ADMINISTRATION PROCEDURES
2. SCORING PRECISION
3. STUDENT PERFORMANCE VARIABILITY.
