Normative (Formative)
Diagnostic

83
Q

Summative Assessment

- Completed AFTER instruction
- Tells us WHAT to teach not how
- Generally given to ALL students

84
Q

Formative Assessment

A

Tells us ow well students are responding to instruction (CBM (cognitive based measure): iStation, mastery tests, benchmarks)
- Completed DURING instruction
- Generally given to ALL students for
benchmarking, SOME for progress
monitoring

85
Q

Diagnostic Assessment

A

tells us students current knowledge and skills to determine a measure of learning (Qualitative reading inventory, Key math)
- Administered BEFORE instruction
- Generally given to SOME students
- Determine WHAT to teach and what
INTERVENTIONS

86
Q

Q

Positive Reinforcement

A

Presenting a stimulus or ADDING something to a situation following a response, which INCREASES the likelihood the response will occur again in that situation

92
Q

Negative Reinforcement

A

REMOVING a stimulus or taking something away from a situation following response, which INCREASES the likelihood the response will occur again

93
Q

Punishment

A

DECREASES the likelihood of responding to a stimulus; may involve withdrawing a positive reinforcer or presenting a negative reinforcer (decrease the behavior)

Q

Reward

A

may not increase the likelihood of the response reoccuring

Q

Basic Principles of Interpretation

A
  • We test to intervene, not diagnose
  • Data that cannot be linked to intervention is
    useless
  • Patterns of Strengths and Weaknesses
    should be linked to recommendations for
    instruction and intervention
  • Tests are dumb tools only given meaning by
    astute practitioners
  • test results are little value in isolation
    • Broadest test scores are most reliable
    • Interpret from top down (broad to
      specific)
    • Never interpret single subtests
    • Clusters must be composed of two
      subtests at minimum
    • avoid confirmatory bias; leaning toward
      your own opinion
110
Q

Inter-Rater Reliability

A

percentage agreement (teacher matches up with what you see in observation); also called examiner reliability

111
Q

Test-Retest Reliability

A

computed from the scores that individuals obtain on the same test on 2 different occasions

Q

Intra Individual Analysis

A

115
Q

Score Discrepancies

A

if there is statistical significance and a low base rate, then interpret differences among indexes. This can be described as more/less developed. Use cross battery if needed .

116
Q

Unitary Ability definition

A

An ability represented by a cohesive set of scaled scores, each reflecting unique facets of that ability
Three steps

117
Q

Unitary Ability Steps

A

1) If the scaled scores within one index is NOT
unitary, interpret each scaled score
2a) To determine whether the FSIQ is
interpretable, the simplest way is to
subtract the Lowest Index from the Highest
Index.
- If DIFFERENCE <23, the CAI may be
interpreted as a reliable and valid
estimate of a person’s overall intellectual
ability
- If DIFFERENCE >=23, then proceed to
step 3.
3a) Subtract lowest VCI scaled score from
highest VCI scaled score (the same for PRI,
WMI, PSI)
- Is size of difference less than 1.5 SDs
(<5points)?
- If YES, then ability presumed to underlie
the VCI is unitary and may be
interpreted
- If NO, then the difference is too large and
VCI cannot be interpreted as a unitary
ability
