The findings support Boehm's assertation that mastery of the concepts is related to achievement in the primary grades. (Author/JKS)

First-grade students were administered the Boehm Test of Basic Concepts (BTBC), then given 15 weeks of instruction relevant to concepts for which corresponding BTBC items were most frequently missed. Improvements in mid-year and end-of-year BTBC performance did not occur, but a significant treatment effect did occur on the Stanford Achievement…

Examined stability and predictive validity of Boehm Test of Basic Concepts-Revised (Boehm-R). Administered Boehm-R to 58 Black urban kindergartners in fall. In spring, children were reevaluated on Boehm-R, 2 criteria of academic achievement and 2 criteria of learning-related classroom behavior. Results showed appreciable test-retest reliability…

Second- and third-graders (N=94) from a suburban New Jersey school who had taken the Boehm test of Basic Concepts as kindergartners were given the Stanford Achievement Test, Form W. The obtained grade scores in each subject area were then correlated with the Boehm Test scores. (Author)
