Schlagal, Robert Clark – Pointer, 1986
The paper stresses the importance of informal assessment of spelling, describing both quantitative and qualitative implications. Stages of word knowledge are reviewed and examples of student errors are cited to illustrate needed instruction. (CL)

Daniels, Harry – British Journal of Special Education, 1988
The article suggests use of a miscue analysis of mathematics problems in children with learning difficulties. Analysis of errors, past learning, and monitoring of progress are illustrated with a case study of a 10-year-old British learning disabled boy. (DB)

Hopkins, Martha H. – Pointer, 1986
Specific procedures for assessing a handicapped student's mastery level within a continuum of mathematics skills are described, and analysis of error patterns discussed. (CL)

Gable, Robert A.; And Others – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1991
A nine-step model is presented for diagnosing and correcting computation errors in arithmetic. The model, which lends itself to curriculum-based assessment and instruction, involves such steps as identifying error patterns, interviewing the student, and selecting the appropriate corrective strategy. (JDD)

Morris, Susan – ELT Journal, 1983
It is argued that dictation is a neglected technique for second-language training. Students' error patterns at three levels are presented to show how the technique can be used effectively for both teaching and testing, and to develop integrative skills and accuracy in both listening and writing. (Author/MSE)

Lupkowski, Ann E.; And Others – Gifted Child Today (GCT), 1990
The article describes application to mathematically gifted elementary age students of the diagnostic/prescriptive model developed by the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth. A five-step procedure of beyond-level standardized testing is followed by mentored instruction based on analysis of testing errors. (DB)

Hart, Robert S. – 1994
This guide to ERRATA, a set of HyperCard-based tools for response analysis and error diagnosis in language testing, is intended as a user manual and general reference and designed to be used with the software (not included here). It has three parts. The first is a brief survey of computational techniques available for dealing with student test…

Shannon, Albert J. – Reading Improvement, 1983
Argues that children with limited English-speaking ability are often misdiagnosed as poor readers on formal and informal measures of reading ability. Offers suggestions for management of true miscues made in oral reading. (FL)

Enright, Brian E.; And Others – Diagnostique, 1988
Outlined are the weaknesses of traditional, norm-referenced tests which fail to help in making instructional decisions. Presented is a step-by-step series of operations for analyzing and categorizing arithmetic errors, for selecting corrective strategies, and for applying peer-referenced standards to judge the performance of special needs…

Maree, J. G. – B.C. Journal of Special Education, 1992
This article recommends a holistic approach to student problems in mathematics. Teachers need to be aware of all paradigms (e.g., developmental, behaviorist, psychoanalytic) explaining causes of problems in mathematics. Examples of misunderstandings resulting from insufficient knowledge, insufficient mathematical vocabulary, and overgeneralization…

Schermerhorn, John R., Jr.; And Others – Simulation and Games, 1985
Seeks to assist instructors in recognizing two basic errors that can occur in processing student evaluation data on instructional development efforts; offers a research framework for future investigations of the error tendencies and related issues; and suggests ways in which instructors can confront and manage error tendencies in practice. (MBR)

Hoy, Cheri A.; Gregg, K. Noel – 1984
The second in a series of manuals on adults with learning disabilities, the booklet covers assessment techniques. The nature of assessment as an ongoing process is stressed, and the role of observation (both systematic and nonsystematic) and interview data are discussed. A seven-step evaluation sequence is proposed, with the major goal of…

Pike, Kathryn; Salend, Spencer J. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 1995
This guide to authentic assessment strategies for teachers of students with and without disabilities explains how to incorporate authentic assessments into everyday practice, including observation techniques, anecdotal records, error analysis, miscue analysis, "think-alouds," self-evaluation questionnaires and interviews, journals and learning…

Stowitschek, Carole E.; And Others – 1989
This monograph provides an historical overview of handwriting assessment, followed by suggestions for informally assessing student handwriting errors and implementing improvement strategies. The monograph specifically addresses: (1) research on handwriting; (2) a rationale for remediation of handwriting errors; (3) techniques for evaluating…

Lowenthal, Barbara – Academic Therapy, 1987
The clinical interview can be a useful individualized assessment and remedial tool for students with difficulties in arithmetic. To use it effectively, the examiner must establish rapport with the student, discover his metacognitive strategies, and determine the student's optimum ability level. (JDD)
