CBM Reading, Mathematics, and Written Expression at the Secondary Level: Examining Latent Composite Relations among Indices and Unique Predictions with a State Achievement Test
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Codding, Robin S.; Petscher, Yaacov; Truckenmiller, Adrea – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015
A paucity of research has examined the utility of curriculum-based measurement (CBM) for data-based decision making at the secondary level. As schools move to multitiered systems of service delivery, it is conceivable that multiple screening measures will be used that address various academic subject areas. The value of including different CBM…

On the Benefit of Dimensional Comparisons
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pohlmann, Britta; Moller, Jens – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2009
People not only use social comparisons to evaluate their abilities, they also engage in dimensional comparisons, comparing their own achievement in different domains. Processes of dimensional comparison have contrasting effects on subject-specific self-concepts: downward dimensional comparisons result in higher self-concept in the…
