Abstract

As content literacy intervention is expanded in schools, data-based decision-making practices need to also advance, especially in the areas of science. Vocabulary-matching curriculum-based measures (VM-CBM) may allow educators to identify students needing additional support in science vocabulary to assist with using and comprehending disciplinary language. Typically, VM-CBMs have been given in a one-page format, but there has been little investigation of modified presentation of VM items. Participants were 77 fourth grade students from a U.S. Midwestern rural school district. Students from four different classrooms were administered either typical one-page or multipage VM-CBM forms. Multipage forms produced strong alternate form reliability (r = .92, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [.85, .96]). Typical forms produced a moderate reliability coefficient (r = .58, 95% CI = [.32, .76]). Regarding concurrent validity, multipage forms were also strongly correlated (r = .71, 95% CI = [.50, .84]; r = .72, 95% CI = [.51, .85]) while typical forms were weakly correlated (r = .40, 95% CI = [.10, .64]; r = .47, 95% CI = [.17, .69]) with a standardized state science assessment. The multipage format appears promising; however, further item level analysis is needed to determine the most efficient way to screen and support students in elementary science literacy.

基础科学课程测量的探索：两种词汇匹配形式的考察

随着学校内容扫盲干预的扩大，基于数据的决策实践也需要推进，尤其是在科学领域。基于词汇匹配课程的测量（VM-CBM）可以让教育工作者识别出需要在科学词汇方面获得额外支持的学生，以帮助他们使用和理解学科语言。通常，VM CBM是以一页的格式给出的，但对VM项目的修改表示的研究很少。参与者是来自美国中西部农村学区的77名四年级学生。来自四个不同教室的学生接受了典型的一页或多页VM-CBM表格的管理。多阶段表格产生了很强的替代表格可靠性（r=.92，95%置信区间[CI]=[.85，.96]）。典型表格产生了中等的可靠性系数（r=.58，95%可信区间=[.32，.76]）。关于并发有效性，多页形式也与标准化的国家科学评估强相关（r=.71，95%CI=[0.50，.84]；r=.72，95%CI=[51，.85]），而典型形式与标准化国家科学评估弱相关（r=.40，95%CI=[10，.64]；r=.47，95%CI=[17，.69]）。多页格式似乎很有前景；然而，还需要进一步的项目层面分析，以确定筛选和支持学生基础科学素养的最有效方法。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
