Unit 8 — Educ Flashcards
School readiness tests provide educators with a benchmark to assess a student’s abilities
Aptitude Tests (Elementary-School Level)
a test kit that generally contains two types of tests: those that measure abilities related to academic success and those that measure educational achievement
Psychoeducational test battery
Designed to measure accomplishment
Achievement Test
A work sample designed to elicit representative knowledge, skills, and values from a particular domain of study
Performance task
At this level, such assessment is largely a matter of determining whether a child’s cognitive, emotional, and social development is in line with age-related expectations
Aptitude Tests (Preschool Level)
a neurological condition and learning difference in which someone has difficulty with writing for their age level
Dysgraphia
Evaluation of one’s work samples
Portfolio assessment
tool used to identify areas of deficit to be targeted for intervention
Diagnostic tests
- refers to any type of assessment that requires the examinee to do more than choose the correct response
Performance assessment
A multilevel prevention framework applied in educational settings that is designed to maximize student achievement through the use of data that identifies students at risk for poor learning outcomes combined with evidence-based intervention and teaching
RTI Model
Focuses on learning that has occurred a a result of relatively structured input
Achievement Test
An approach to exploring learning potential that is based on a test-intervention-retest model
Dynamic assessment
Budoff (1967, 1987) explored differences between deficits identified by standardized tests that occurred because of differences in education versus mental deficiency
Dynamic assessment
Aptitude test also called
Prognostic test
a multidisciplinary approach to evaluation that assimilates input from relevant sources
Integrative assessment
Aptitude during this time of development is generally referred to as “readiness”
Aptitude Tests (Preschool Level)
Used to make predictions
Aptitude test
questionnaire on which marks are made to indicate the presence or absence of a specified behavior, thought, event or circumstance
Checklist
a learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling
Dyslexia
used to gauge student progress toward instructional objectives, compare an individual’s accomplishments to peers, and help determine what activities might best propel the students toward the objective
Achievement Test
Scholastic Aptitude Test (S A T) consists of a number of tests
Aptitude Tests (Secondary-School Level)
T/F: Dynamic assessors do not remain neutral
TRUEEE
Steps involved in Rtl
o Teachers provide evidence-based instruction
o Student learning of that instruction is regularly
evaluated;
o Intervention, if required occurs in some form
appropriate adjustment in instruction;
o Re-evaluation of learning takes place; and o Intervention and reassessment occur as necessary
Focuses more on informal learning or life experiences
Aptitude test
o Make a judgement of relative standing with
regard to a specified variable or list of variables
Rating scale
a specific and persistent difficulty in understanding numbers which can lead to a diverse range of difficulties with mathematics
Dyscalculia
was designed to yield information about the nature and amount of intervention required to enhance a child’s performance
Learning Potential Assessment Device (L P A D)
In educational context, an evaluation of relevant,
meaningful tasks that may be conducted to evaluate learning of academic subject matter but that demonstrate the student’s transfer of that study to real-world activities
Authentic assessment
Diagnosed if a significant discrepancy existed between the child’s measured intellectual ability and the level of achievement that could reasonably be expected from the child in one or more areas
Specific Learning Disability (SLD)
