Far West Lab. for Educational Research and Development, San Francisco, CA. – 1975
Test items and procedures for administering and scoring individual tests of second and fifth grade reading and mathematics are presented. The major purpose of this individual testing is validation of the group tests which make up the battery of the Beginning Teacher Evaluation Study (BTES). Five mathematics tasks, involving a set of blocks, have…

Filby, Nikola N.; Dishaw, Marilyn M. – 1977
This technical note describes part of the work done to develop student achievement tests in reading and mathematics for use in a later phase of the Beginning Teacher Evaluation Study. While the achievement battery consists primarily of group-administered multiple-choice test items, several individual-testing studies were conducted to examine the…

A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF THE ORAL READING OF FIRST-, SECOND-, AND THIRD-GRADE CHILDREN IS REPORTED. THE STUDY TREATS READING AS A PSYCHOLINGUISTIC PROCESS WHICH IS CUED OR MISCUED DURING THE CHILD'S INTERACTION WITH WRITTEN LANGUAGE. THE SUBJECTS WERE 100 CHILDREN ATTENDING THE SAME SCHOOL IN A DETROIT INDUSTRIAL SUBURB. EVERY SECOND CHILD ON AN…

Carpenter, Thomas P. – 1971
The major purpose of this study was 1) to investigate the development of the concept of a unit of measure and the coordination of unit size and the number of units 2) to relate this development to the development of conservation and 3) to determine the role of equivalence and nonequivalence relations in certain conservation and measurement…

Negin, Gary A. – 1987
Noting that accurate procedures for predicting reading ability in school settings are necessary for a variety of purposes, this paper reviews methods for predicting reading ability and presents a new, more precise model for use at the second grade level. First, the paper defines reading expectancy as an informed estimate of the level of reading…

McDaniel, Ernest – 1971
The rationale and development of a new series of motion picture tests of perceptual abilities of young children are described, and preliminary data regarding their reliability and validity are presented. The data suggests that the film tests are promising new perceptual measurement instruments. (MS)

Strand, Theresa; And Others – 1979
Use of the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests (WRMT), individually administered wide ranging reading tests, was explored, using Title I evaluation Models A1 and A2. Attention was focused on: (1) relationship of the Title I curriculum to the WRMT and the SRA Reading Test; (2) comparative reading achievement gains on both tests, using Model A1; and (3)…

The aim of the present study was to address how to effectively predict mathematics learning disability (MLD). Specifically, we addressed whether cognitive data obtained during kindergarten can effectively predict which children will have MLD in third grade, whether an abbreviated test battery could be as effective as a standard psychoeducational…
