Data based decision making Flashcards
What are the 4 steps to the Problem Solving model
- Problem Identification
- Problem Analysis
- Intervention Development and Implementation
- Intervention Evaluation and Follow-up
Problem Identification asks
“what is the problem”
Problem Analysis aks
“why is it occurring?”
Intervention Development and Implementation asks
“what should be done about it?”
Intervention Evaluation and Follow-up aks
“did it work?”
What are the Components of Effective Interviewing?
- Establish rapport based on mutual respect and acceptance;
- Facilitate communication;
- Formulate appropriate questions;
- Remain objective yet empathic;
- Be a good listener;
- Close the interview appropriately;
- Summarize,
- obtain feedback from interviewee,
- discuss implications for future
What are the Types of Interviews?
- Structured Interview;
- Unstructured Interview;
- Computer-generated Interview
Standardized interviews yielding information about presence, absence, severity. onset, and duration of symptoms; Yield quantitative scores in symptom areas or global indices of psychopathology; disorder specific under category of DSM
structured interview
Interviewer guides interviewee to talk about issues related to referral problem; Interviewee tells story; Can be used to identify general problem areas, then follow up with structured
unstructured interview
Disadvantages: unfamiliar computer users may become anxious, format is impersonal, may be technical difficulties with hardware
computer-generated interview
What are the 5 Observational Strategies ?
- Narrative recording;
- Interval recording;
- Event recording;
- Rating recording;
- Direct Observation
Anecdotal recording of noteworthy behaviors; No time frames or codes
Narrative recording
Record each event of behavior as it occurs during observation period; frequency count of discrete behavior
Event recording
Momentary Time Sampling Recording; Partial Interval Recording; Whole Interval Recording; Latency Recording; Duration Recording
Direct Observation Recording Strategies
Rating behavior on a checklist or scale; Useful for evaluating global aspects of behavior or for gaining impressions
Rating Recording
Focuses on aspects of behaviors as occurring within specific intervals of time; sample behavior rather than recording every behavior; useful for overt behaviors
Interval Recording
Observer records whether a behavior occurs at the beginning of each interval
Momentary Time Sampling Recording
Records whether behavior occurs at any time during interval
Partial Interval Recording
Record whether behavior occurs during the ENTIRE interval
Whole Interval Recording
Record how long it takes for the student to engage in the behavior after a verbal demand or event
Latency Recording
Record the amount of time the student engages in the behavior that has a clear beginning and end
Duration Recording
Student Records; Medical Records and Reports; Review of Previous Interventions; Developmental History
Review of Background Information
What are some examples of student records?
Grades, attendance, discipline referrals, state/district testing results, health records (nurse screenings)
CBM is
Curriculum Based Measurement. - valuable for gaining information about student performance; simple, fast, accurate; effective indicator of student achievement to guide intervention devisions and check progress; verify what is working and what is not; identify weakness and allow instruction to be geared towards strengths
