VanDerHeyden, Amanda M.; Broussard, Carmen – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
This study details the construction of parameters for generating subskill mastery math measures to be used for screening, intervention planning, progress monitoring, and proximal program evaluation. Parameters for generating assessment measures were built and tested to verify initial equivalence of generated measures using potential digits correct…

Parker, David C.; Stewart, Lisa H.; Thomson, Susan; Kaminski, Ruth A. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
Vocabulary skills are important for overall reading competence, but vocabulary assessment approaches that inform instructional decision-making and are sensitive to improvement are limited. This article describes a process for developing vocabulary measures designed to facilitate data-driven decision-making for kindergarten and first-grade students…

Fritz, Ronda; Harn, Beth; Biancarosa, Gina; Lucero, Audrey; Flannery, K. Brigid – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2019
This study investigated the use of brief observations to measure implementation of small group interventions using the Quality of Intervention Delivery and Receipt (QIDR) tool. Videos of 10-min segments representing the beginning, middle, and end of each 30-min intervention lesson were coded for implementation. Results indicated that (a)…

Pentimonti, Jill M.; Bowles, Ryan P.; Zucker, Tricia A.; Tambyraja, Sherine R.; Justice, Laura M. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Measuring the quality of classroom-based interactive shared book reading within the early childhood classroom represents a specific dimension of teacher-child interactions that is of great interest to researchers. This interest reflects decades of research demonstrating the benefit of reading to young children in both the home and the classroom.…

Babic Cikeš, Ana; Cakic, Lara; Kuti, Vedrana – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2023
The changed sentence: The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Emotion Matching Task (EMT) in a sample of Croatian preschool children. The Croatian version of the EMT was applied to 198 children (52% female), together with measures of verbal ability and social competence. The internal structure of the test, as…

Pakarinen, Eija; Malmberg, Lars-Erik; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Siekkinen, Martti; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2023
When classroom observations are increasingly used for accountability and evaluation purposes, a deeper understanding of the psychometric properties of such measurement tools is needed. The present study took a unique approach to examine the psychometric properties of a commonly used classroom observation measure by testing the reliability of…

Wang, Shuang; Hu, Bi Ying; Curby, Timothy; Fan, Xitao – Early Education and Development, 2021
Research Findings: This study employed multiple approaches to examine the stability of teacher--child interaction quality in Chinese preschools. Teacher-child interaction quality was measured using the "Classroom Assessment Scoring System" (CLASS) on five observational cycles within a school day. Several different metrics of stability…

Qilong Zhang; Weiying Wu; Ke Jiang – European Journal of Teacher Education, 2024
Teacher professional standards are a mechanism to safeguard quality teaching. In the context of Chinese early childhood education (ECE), this study developed a scale for self-assessing teacher competence against professional standards. The study adopted a three-phase design. In Phase 1, in accordance with Professional Standards for Kindergarten…

Mantzicopoulos, Panayota; French, Brian F.; Patrick, Helen – Grantee Submission, 2018
Research Findings: We evaluated the score stability of the Mathematical Quality of Instruction (MQI), an observational measure of mathematics instruction. Three raters each scored, independently, 100 video-recorded lessons taught by 20 kindergarten teachers in the spring. Using generalizability theory analyses, we decomposed the MQI's score…

Clarke-Midura, Jody; Silvis, Deborah; Shumway, Jessica F.; Lee, Victor R.; Kozlowski, Joseph S. – Computer Science Education, 2021
Background and Context: There is a need for early childhood assessments of computational thinking (CT). However, there is not consensus on a guiding framework, definition, or set of proxies in which to measure CT. We are addressing this problem by using Evidence Centered Design (ECD) to develop an assessment of kindergarten-aged children's CT.…
