Abstract
This study details the construction of parameters for generating subskill mastery math measures to be used for screening, intervention planning, progress monitoring, and proximal program evaluation. Parameters for generating assessment measures were built and tested to verify initial equivalence of generated measures using potential digits correct as a proxy for task difficulty across generated measures. Generated measures met initial equivalence criteria and were subjected to further reliability analysis. Measures were generated and administered 1 week apart at fall and winter to students in Grades K, 1, 3, 5, and 7. Thirty-four screening measures were examined for delayed alternate form reliability, risk decision agreement, and interobserver agreement. Delayed alternate form reliability values generally exceeded r = .80, could be reliably scored, and yielded consistent risk decisions. Future research directions were discussed.
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.
