Abstract

Repeated measurements of student ability (i.e., progressing monitoring) is an essential element of informed decision-making when adjusting instruction. An important characteristic of progress monitoring measures is frequent administration to identify areas of concern and to evaluate academic growth. The purpose of this study was to determine if STAR Math is sensitive to small incremental growth across a semester. Within two southern school districts, 114 fifth grade students’ progress monitoring data were collected weekly, and a latent growth curve was used to estimate students’ change in math ability. Results indicated STAR Math is sensitive to small incremental growth, with a statistically significant and positive slope, suggesting students using STAR Math showed improvement in ability over the semester.

用潜在增长曲线模型确定Star数学的增长敏感性

在调整教学时，对学生能力的反复测量（即进度监控）是明智决策的重要因素。进度监测措施的一个重要特点是经常管理，以确定关注的领域并评估学术发展。本研究的目的是确定STAR Math是否对整个学期的小增量增长敏感。在南部的两个学区内，每周收集114名五年级学生的进度监测数据，并使用潜在增长曲线来估计学生数学能力的变化。结果表明，STAR数学对小的增量增长很敏感，具有统计学意义的正斜率，这表明使用STAR数学的学生在本学期的能力有所提高。

期刊介绍： The Canadian Journals of School Psychology (CJSP) is the official journal of the Canadian Association of School Psychologists and publishes papers focusing on the interface between psychology and education. Papers may reflect theory, research, and practice of psychology in education, as well as book and test reviews. The journal is aimed at practitioners, but is subscribed to by university libraries and individuals (i.e. psychologists). CJSP has become the major reference for practicing school psychologists and students in graduate educational and school psychology programs in Canada.
