The regression-based discrepancy definition of learning disabilities has been suggested by Rutter and Yule as an improvement of the well-known and much criticized achievement-intelligence discrepancy definition, whereby the examinee's predicted reading attainment is substituted for the intelligence score in the discrepancy expression. Even though…

Slama, Rachel B. – ProQuest LLC, 2012
A major problem facing educators in the United States is how to determine when the nation's five million English language learners (ELL) are ready to exit language-learning programs, i.e. to be "reclassified" as fluent English proficient (R-FEP) and placed in mainstream classrooms without additional language support. No Child Left Behind…

Lakin, Joni M.; Lohman, David F. – Journal for the Education of the Gifted, 2011
Effective talent-identification procedures minimize the proportion of students whose subsequent performance indicates that they were mistakenly included in or excluded from the program. Classification errors occur when students who were predicted to excel subsequently do not excel or when students who were not predicted to excel do. Using a…

Kappe, F. R.; Boekholt, L.; den Rooyen, C.; Van der Flier, H. – Learning and Individual Differences, 2009
Multiple and specific learning criteria were used to examine the predictive validity of the Learning Style Questionnaire (LSQ). Ninety-nine students in a college of higher learning in The Netherlands participated in a naturally occurring field study. The students were categorized into one of four LSQ dimensions, namely, Activists, Theorists,…

Solorzano, Ronald W. – Review of Educational Research, 2008
This article discusses the issues and implications of high stakes tests on English language learners (ELLs). As ELLs are being included in all high stakes assessments tied to accountability efforts (e.g., No Child Left Behind), it is crucial that issues related to the tests be critically evaluated relative to their use. In this case, academic…

Dowdy, Erin; Kamphaus, Randy W. – California School Psychologist, 2007
There is growing evidence that current classification methods are not consistent with current empirical knowledge of childhood psychopathology and the optimal way to classify school-age children remains controversial. The current study investigated three classification methods (categorical, dimensional, person-oriented) for use in predicting…

As part of a program to evaluate noncognitive tests for use in classifying recruits, the Navy Vocational Interest Inventory (NVII) was validated against "A" school achievement and analyzed for its ability to differentiate men in different ratings. The NVII was administered experimentally to incoming students at seven "A"…

Kim, Sangwon; Kamphaus, Randy W.; Baker, Jean A. – Journal of School Psychology, 2006
A constructive debate over the classification of child psychopathology can be stimulated by investigating the validity of different classification approaches. We examined and compared the short-term predictive validity of cluster analytic and dimensional classifications of child behavioral adjustment in school using the Behavior Assessment System…

Thomas, Edmund D. – 1969
Scores earned on the Navy's enlisted classification tests determine, in large part, the type of job specialty training a recruit will receive. About 50% of recruits qualify for academic training in Basic Class "A" level schools. How well the classification tests predict performance in these schools is important from both a cost and a…

Relationships between performance on two preschool administrations of the Metropolitan Readiness Tests (MRT) and Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) scores at age nine were examined for a sample of 732 children. Significant correlations, ranging from .50 to .71, were obtained between readiness scores and SAT scores on reading, spelling and arithmetic.…

Bryan, Miriam M. – 1971
Ability grouping, defined as "the practice of organizing classroom groups in a graded school to put together children of a given age and grade who have most nearly the same standing on measures or judgments of learning achievement or capability," is considered in terms of its effect upon students' academic achievement and affective development. It…
