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 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 Combining Quality and Curriculum-based Measurement by : Paula Ganzeveld

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 Curriculum-based Measures in Writing by : Christina M.. Terenzi
Download or read book Curriculum-based Measures in Writing written by Christina M.. Terenzi and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research in the area of Curriculum-Based Measures (CBM) in writing has shown that traditionally used metrics, such as total words written and total words correct, may not be the best tools for measuring writing performance, for both secondary and elementary aged children (e.g., Gansle, Noell, VanDerHeyden, Naquin, & Slider, 2002; Tindal & Parker, 1989a; Watkinson & Lee, 1992). Evidence suggests that more advanced measures, such as production-independent measures (e.g., percentage of correct word sequences) may be stronger predictors of student skill level in the area of writing. The present study replicated portions of a recent seminal study and investigated the predictive validity of CBM in the area of writing for the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) writing and ELA assessments and the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) reading assessment. Participants included 700 fourth grade students in a Midwest urban school district who completed a three-minute writing probe, which was scored for 20 independent variables. Dependent variables included assessments administered in the same year and in years following the administration of the writing probes. Correlations were calculated between each of the independent and dependent variables. Interscorer reliability was calculated, with all variables above .80. Alternate form reliability (n=199) was above .40 for all but two independent variables. Stepwise multiple regressions were run with two sets of independent variables with each of five dependent variables. The independent variables which appeared to be the most promising indices for predicting performance on dependent measures included percentage of correct word sequences, correct punctuation marks, and words in complete sentences. Implication of analyses, limitation, and implications for future practice and research are discussed.
Book Synopsis Curriculum-based Assessment by : Carroll J. Jones
Download or read book Curriculum-based Assessment written by Carroll J. Jones and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2008 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although curriculum-based assessment (CBA) has been on the horizon for a number of years, there has been a need for a practical, classroom-based approach for its implementation. This second edition is a major revision and update that offers practical and specific methods for developing and using CBAs in an educational setting. It gives educators a highly specific, step-by-step approach to building CBAs in the area of reading word recognition, reading comprehension, content reading, mathematics, and written expression. Each chapter offers detailed, easy-to-read, and easy-to-follow instructions for the assessment construction process. To further clarify the process, extensive examples are given in table format. A unique feature of the text is the manner in which the author illustrates the principles of CBA by providing a case study on one student which is referred to in each chapter. Its formative assessment approach gives the teacher additional, detailed information about studentsOCO performance, which, in turn, should guide the type of instruction designed and implemented, ultimately leading to higher performance on summative outcome measures. Addition-ally, detailed information is provided on subject area CBA construction, the creation and implementation of a district-wide CBA system for response-to-intervention, and how to use IDEA'S response-to-intervention in student evaluation."

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.
