Book Synopsis Curriculum-based Measurement by : Mark R. Shinn
Download or read book Curriculum-based Measurement written by Mark R. Shinn and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1989-03-17 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed specifically to overcome problems with traditional standardized instruments, curriculum-based measurement (CBM) has steadily increased in educational use. These brief assessment probes of reading, spelling, written expression, and mathematics serve to quantify student performance as well as to enhance academic achievement. Their widening use as a means of evaluation and ultimately of instruction, has created a corresponding need to expand the applications of this methodology to diverse populations. This new volume addresses that need by focusing on the broader application of CBM, providing practical new measures, as well as detailing their use with specific student groups.
Book Synopsis Curriculum-based Measurement of Writing at the Secondary Level for Students Receiving Special Education by : Shanna L. Hood
Download or read book Curriculum-based Measurement of Writing at the Secondary Level for Students Receiving Special Education written by Shanna L. Hood and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the technical adequacy of different methods of curriculum-based measures (CBMs) of written expression for secondary students in special education. Differences in administration time and whether CBMs of writing can be used to measure gains in writing proficiency for secondary students in special education were also investigated. Benchmark and bi-weekly writing samples were collected from 47 students receiving special education in 6th through 12th grade during the 2009-2010 school year. Writing samples were scored for Correct Word Sequences (CWS), Incorrect Word Sequences (ICWS), and Correct Word Sequences minus Incorrect Word Sequences (CWS-ICWS). While results indicated low criterion-related validity with the state's language arts and writing test scores, strong alternate-form reliability was found for both 5 and 7 minute measures. Also, statistically significant results were found when examining the ability of CBMs of writing to measure the writing growth of secondary students in special education over time. Findings from this study demonstrated that CBMs of writing can be used as a progress monitoring tool, and a 5 minute administration time may be adequate for secondary students in special education. More research is needed to establish the criterion-related validity of these measures for this population.

Book Synopsis Curriculum-based Measurement in Writing by : Jennifer Allison Porterfield
Download or read book Curriculum-based Measurement in Writing written by Jennifer Allison Porterfield and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curriculum-based measurement in writing (CBM-W) has been proposed as a means of screening general education and special education students for writing difficulties and as a tool for monitoring the progress of struggling writers. CBM-W involves the administration of multiple probes of equivalent difficulty over time to monitor student progress toward academic standards (McMaster & Espin, 2007). The purpose of this study was to determine the technical adequacy of multiple CBM-W measures and how well the measures predicted writing performance. Additionally, this study examined how well CBM-W measures predicted student growth in writing over time. This study also extended the work of previous research by including a sample of 5th grade Hispanic students (n = 167), including English language learners (ELLs), former ELLs who were being monitored, ELLs with disabilities, and non-ELLs. Students were given story starters and completed narrative writing samples that were scored using words written (WW), words spelled correctly (WSC), correct word sequences (CWS), and correct minus incorrect word sequences (CIWS). The criterion measure was the Test of Written Language, Fourth Edition (TOWL-4). Results indicated inconsistent alternate-forms reliability for WW and WSC, and high alternate-forms reliability for CWS and CIWS. CWS and CIWS were the best predictors of one-time writing performance on the TOWL-4 for the overall sample, ELLs, former ELLs on first year monitor status, and ELLs with disabilities. CBM-W was not a significant predictor of student growth over time for most scoring procedures. However, a promising finding is that the scoring procedure of CWS was a significant predictor of student growth for the overall sample and for former ELLs on first year monitor status. Limitations, practical implications and future research will be discussed.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Writing is an essential skill one must have to function in society. Writing instruction and assessment have not been at the forefront of education in America when compared to reading and math. Curriculum Based Measurement in Written Expression (WE-CBM) offers and efficient way to assess and monitory progress in writing. The current study examines the interrater reliability, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity of WE-CBM with a sample of sixty-seven fifth grade students by evaluating the relationship of WE-CBM to the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL). Test-retest reliability and interrater reliability were established. Criterion validity was established among the two scoring methods for WE-CBM but not for both scoring methods in relation to the WASL"--Document.

Book Synopsis Combining Quality and Curriculum-based Measurement by : Paula Ganzeveld
Download or read book Combining Quality and Curriculum-based Measurement written by Paula Ganzeveld and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curriculum-Based Measures in writing (CBM-W) assesses a variety of fluency-based components of writing. While support exists for the use of CBM measures in the area of writing, there is a need to conduct further validation studies to investigate the utility of these measures within elementary and secondary classrooms. Since only countable indices are used in CBM-W, this study explored the possibility of using an assessment that measured writing quality in conjunction with the CBM metric. To accomplish this, three pieces of data were used in this study. The CBM metrics of total words written, words spelled correctly, correct word sequences, percentage of words spelled correctly, and percentage of correct word sequences were scored from a timed writing passage that second grade students completed. Scores from the district writing assessment that classroom teachers rated using an analytic rubric that focused on quality were also analyzed. Last, a validated writing assessment, the TOWL-3, was used as the criterion measure. Using correlation and regression methods, results indicated that correct word sequences was the best predictor performance on the TOWL-3. Even though the teacher writing assessment correlated with the TOWL-3 at the significant level, adding it to the scores from the CBM-W measures did not significantly increase the validity.
Book Synopsis Writing Development in Children with Hearing Loss, Dyslexia, Or Oral Language Problems by : Barbara Arfé
Download or read book Writing Development in Children with Hearing Loss, Dyslexia, Or Oral Language Problems written by Barbara Arfé and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing plays a key role in society. Yet, many children struggle in learning to write, and often this is related to difficulties in the development of their oral-language skills. For students with oral language difficulties text production is particularly challenging, yet there have been few attempts to consider the impact of different oral language problems on the production of written text. This book focuses on the relationship between oral language problems and writing problems for children with hearing loss, those with oral-language difficulties and those with dyslexia. The causes and nature of their writing problems are examined by experts in the fields. Authors from three continents and nine countries contributed their research to extend our understanding of the problems that these children face. The collection provides timely information across languages and countries, enhancing our understanding of the links between oral language problems and writing, informing both writing assessment and intervention.

Book Synopsis The Fluency Construct by : Kelli D. Cummings
Download or read book The Fluency Construct written by Kelli D. Cummings and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of fluency as a construct and its assessment in the context of curriculum-based measurement (CBM). Comparing perspectives from language acquisition, reading, and mathematics, the book parses the vagueness and complexities surrounding fluency concepts and their resulting impact on testing, intervention, and students' educational development. Applications of this knowledge in screening and testing, ideas for creating more targeted measures, and advanced methods for studying fluency data demonstrate the overall salience of fluency within CBM. Throughout, contributors argue for greater specificity and nuance in isolating skills to be measured and improved, and for terminology that reflects those educational benchmarks. Included in the coverage: Indicators of fluent writing in beginning writers. Fluency in language acquisition, reading, and mathematics. Foundations of fluency-based assessments in behavioral and psychometric paradigms. Using response time and accuracy data to inform the measurement of fluency. Using individual growth curves to model reading fluency. Latent class analysis for reading fluency research. The Fluency Construct: Curriculum-Based Measurement Concepts and Applications is an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, and professionals in clinical child and school psychology, language and literature, applied linguistics, special education, neuropsychology, and social work.
