Delia Leuenberger; Elisabeth Moser Opitz; Noemi Gloor – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2024
Computation competence (CC) in simple addition and subtraction using non-counting (NC) strategies is an important learning objective in Grade 1 mathematics but many children, especially low achievers in mathematics, struggle to acquire these skills. To provide these students with the support they need, it is important to have valid and reliable…

Zhang, Shuhan; Wong, Gary K. W. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) has permeated primary and early childhood education in recent years. Despite the extensive effort in CT learning initiatives, few age-appropriate assessment tools targeting young children have been developed. In this study, we proposed Computational Thinking Test for Lower Primary (CTtLP), which was designed for lower…

Karen De Keersmaeker; Patrick Onghena; Wim Van Dooren – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
Mathematical language (or the content-specific words in mathematics) has repeatedly shown to be related to mathematical abilities in preschool and in the early grades of primary education. Research in this field has predominantly focused on young children's quantitative and spatial language. At the same time, recent research has discovered that…

Marzieh Haghayeghi; Ali Moghadamzadeh; Hamdollah Ravand; Mohamad Javadipour; Hossein Kareshki – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2025
This study aimed to address the need for a comprehensive assessment tool to evaluate the mathematical abilities of first-grade students through cognitive diagnostic assessment (CDA). The primary challenge involved in this endeavor was to delineate the specific cognitive skills and sub-skills pertinent to first-grade mathematics (FG-M) and to…

Gutiérrez, Nuria; Jiménez, Juan E.; de León, Sara C. – Early Education and Development, 2022
Research Findings: Universal screening is the first stage in identifying students at risk for reading difficulties within a Response to Intervention model. However, there is a lack of validated screening tools for assessing reading abilities in first-grade students from Spain. This pilot study examines the technical adequacy, classification…

Allen, Abigail A.; Jung, Pyung-Gang; Poch, Apryl L.; Brandes, Dana; Shin, Jaehyun; Lembke, Erica S.; McMaster, Kristen L. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2020
The purpose of this study was to investigate evidence of reliability, criterion validity, and grade-level differences of curriculum-based measures of writing (CBM-W) with 612 students in grades 1-3. Four scoring procedures (words written, words spelled correctly, correct word sequences, and correct minus incorrect word sequences) were used with…

Clarke, Ben; Strand Cary, Mari G.; Shanley, Lina; Sutherland, Marah – Grantee Submission, 2020
This manuscript presents the results from a study to investigate the technical characteristics of two versions of a number line assessment (NLA 0-20 and NLA 0-100). The sample consisted of 60 kindergarten and 46 first grade students. Both number line versions had sufficient alternate form and test-retest reliability. The NLA 0-20 had low and the…

Patrick Kennedy; Brian Gearin; Katherine Bromley; Gina Biancarosa – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Background: Dyslexia is a specific reading disability characterized by word recognition difficulties that can qualify a student for special education services under the "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act" (IDEA; 2004; Yudin, 2015). As of 2024, 49 US states have legislation defining dyslexia and enumerating for schools…
