What Works Clearinghouse Rating
Simpson, Robert G.; Arnett, Karen – Diagnostique, 1987
The behavior of 95 children (grades three through six) was rated by two groups of teachers using the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist. Multivariate analysis of variance revealed no significant differences between the mean ratings of the two groups. Normative data for males and females are presented. (Author/DB)

Thurlow, Martha; Ysseldyke, James – Diagnostique, 1983
The response to a previous article by Mardell-Czednowski and Lessen notes the lack of common criteria for evaluating technical adequacy of assessment instruments used with handicapped children and stresses the need to evaluate instruments with the specific populations to which they are administered.

Mardell-Czudnowski, Carol D.; Lessen, Elliott I. – Diagnostique, 1982
Special education tests evaluated by M. Thurlow and J. Ysseldyke with regard to technical adequacy were reevaluated using the same criteria. There was disagreement of 11 of the 30 tests used in both evaluations, demonstrating that current test standards are vague enough that experts disagree. (Author/CL)

Lee, Steven; And Others – Diagnostique, 1991
Thirty-two preschool children were administered the Cognitive Levels Test (CLT) to evaluate its temporal stability and concurrent validity. Results indicated good temporal stability for the CLT-Cognitive Index and high correlations between the CLT-Cognitive Index and the Stanford-Binet: Fourth Edition. (Author/JDD)

Parker, Richard; And Others – Diagnostique, 1992
This study evaluated the technical qualities of a naturalistic test of reading decoding skills, the"Diagnostic Names Task." Evaluation of the measure with 25 elementary grade disabled readers examined subtest reliability, sensitivity to change resulting from instruction, meaningful clustering of subskills, and criterion-related validity.…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – Diagnostique, 1983
Effects of aggregation on reliability of curriculum-based measures of academic performance were explored in two studies involving elementary students. Findings suggested that some academic behaviors initially are measured precisely (aggregation had minimal effect), while other behaviors, such as scores on the error passage reading measure, are not…

Isaacson, Stephen – Diagnostique, 1984
Content validity is an overriding problem in all measures evaluating written expression because there is no complete model of written language. Direct atomistic measures have greater instructional utility in diagnostic assessment, grouping, monitoring and decision making, reporting student progress, and giving feedback to students than do indirect…

Graham, Steve; Henry, Nick – Diagnostique, 1981
A study involving 202 undergraduates and 115 regular educators examined the reliability of the Rucker-Gable Educational Programming Scale, a measure of teachers' attitudes toward and knowledge of appropriate program placement for handicapped children. Results showed the scale to be only moderately reliable. (SB)

Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – Diagnostique, 1989
This assessment of the reliability and validity of skills analysis programs within curriculum-based measurement (CBM), with various groups of handicapped and nonhandicapped youngsters, indicated that the skills analysis programs in spelling and math provided consistent information that related well to the primary graphed CBM scores.

Development and Analysis of a Measure of Children's Goal-Setting: The Level of Aspiration Indicator.
Bagnato, Stephen J.; French, Joseph L. – Diagnostique, 1981
Results established the indicator's technical adequacy and further defined the self-concept/level of aspirations relationship as supporting evidence of construct validity. (Author)

Robinson, Cordelia C.; And Others – Diagnostique, 1986
The use of multidomain instruments for screening or diagnostic purposes with handicapped infants and preschoolers is reviewed. Purposes of assessment and criteria for instrument utility are presented. Five multidomain screening tools and three multidomain diagnostic instruments are reviewed with respect to their validity, reliability, and utility.…

Salvia, Shawn Amig; Salvia, John – Diagnostique, 1986
Significant differences were found between college freshmen science (N=50) and nonscience (N=50) majors who were administered the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised (WAIS-R) and the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery, Part II: Tests of Achievement. (Author/CB)

Maheady, Larry; Harper, Gregory F. – Diagnostique, 1986
Studies of the reliability, normative data, construct validity, and concurrent validity of the Social Perception Behavior Rating Scale used with mildly learning-disabled, behavior-disordered, and nondisabled children indicated adequate reliability, marked differences in scores of handicapped and nonhandicapped children, and a logical pattern of…

Watkins, Marley W.; Canivez, Gary L. – Diagnostique, 1997
A study of 71 students (ages 7-17) with disabilities investigated the interrater agreement of the Adjustment Scales for Children and Adolescents (ASCA), a behavior rating scale used in school settings. Participants were rated by 29 educational professionals in 24 classrooms. Results found ASCA produced acceptable levels of interrater agreement.…
