Gary A. Troia; Frank R. Lawrence; Julie S. Brehmer; Kaitlin Glause; Heather L. Reichmuth – Grantee Submission, 2023
Much of the research that has examined the writing knowledge of school-age students has relied on interviews to ascertain this information, which is problematic because interviews may underestimate breadth and depth of writing knowledge, require lengthy interactions with participants, and do not permit a direct evaluation of a prescribed array of…

Neitzel, Jennifer; Early, Diane; Sideris, John; LaForrett, Doré; Abel, Michael B.; Soli, Margaret; Davidson, Dawn L.; Haboush-Deloye, Amanda; Hestenes, Linda L.; Jenson, Denise; Johnson, Cindy; Kalas, Jennifer; Mamrak, Angela; Masterson, Marie L.; Mims, Sharon U.; Oya, Patti; Philson, Bobbi; Showalter, Megan; Warner-Richter, Mallory; Kortright Wood, Jill – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2019
The Early Childhood Environment Rating Scales, including the "Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale--Revised" (Harms et al., 2005) and the "Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, Third Edition" (Harms et al., 2015) are the most widely used observational assessments in early childhood learning environments. The most recent…

Petronzi, Dominic; Staples, Paul; Sheffield, David; Hunt, Thomas E.; Fitton-Wilde, Sandra – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2019
There are currently many mathematics anxiety rating scales designed typically for adult and older children populations, yet there remains a lack of assessment tools for younger children (< 7 years of age) despite a recent focus on this age range. Following previous testing and validation, the 26-item iteration of the Children's Mathematics…

Dragoset, Lisa; Baxter, Cassandra; Dotter, Dallas; Walsh, Elias – Regional Educational Laboratory Mid-Atlantic, 2019
The purpose of this report is to investigate the feasibility of constructing a school-level measure of students' academic growth from kindergarten to grade 3, and to assess the validity and precision of that measure. The study measured schoolwide student growth for reading and math using student growth percentiles based on Maryland's 2014/15…

Rae, James R.; Olson, Kristina R. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is increasingly used in developmental research despite minimal evidence of whether children's IAT scores are reliable across time or predictive of behavior. When test-retest reliability and predictive validity have been assessed, the results have been mixed, and because these studies have differed on many…

Klieger, David M.; Bridgeman, Brent; Tannenbaum, Richard J.; Cline, Frederick A.; Olivera-Aguilar, Margarita – ETS Research Report Series, 2018
Educational Testing Service (ETS), working with 21 U.S. law schools, evaluated the predictive validity of the GRE® General Test using a sample of 1,587 current and graduated law students. Results indicated that the GRE is a strong, generalizably valid predictor of first-year law school grades and that it provides useful information even when…

Chiang, Hanley; McCullough, Moira; Lipscomb, Stephen; Gill, Brian – National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, 2016
States and districts need ways of measuring principal performance that correctly identify effective principals. Unfortunately, existing research offers little guidance to policymakers on which types of performance measures provide valid information about principals' contributions to student achievement. States have therefore had to develop…

Lin, Shuqiong; Luo, Wen; Tong, Fuhui; Irby, Beverly J.; Alecio, Rafael Lara; Rodriguez, Linda; Chapa, Selena – Cogent Education, 2020
Student learning objectives (SLOs) have become an increasingly popular tool for teacher evaluations as an alternative to Value-added Models (VAMs). However, the use of SLOs faces two major challenges. First, the target setting is mostly subjective and arbitrary. Second, there is little evidence on the reliability and validity of the tool. In this…

Yang, Yan; Cox, Cody; Cho, YoonJung – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
Despite the critical role of emotions in multicultural teacher education, no attempt has been made to develop an instrument including affect as a dimension in measuring cultural competence for preservice teachers. To bridge this gap, the present three-study research used three distinct samples of 456 preservice teachers to develop and estimate the…

Dever, Bridget V.; Dowdy, Erin; DiStefano, Christine – School Psychology Review, 2018
Preschool has been recognized as an optimal time to provide behavioral and emotional supports to children; however, there is a need to examine the stability, accuracy, and predictive validity of universal emotional and behavioral screening scores in early childhood to inform procedures for repeated screenings across time. The present study…

Tracy, Allison; Charmaraman, Linda; Ceder, Ineke; Richer, Amanda; Surr, Wendy – Afterschool Matters, 2016
Out-of-school time (OST) youth programs are inherently difficult to assess. They are often very dynamic: Many youth interact with one another and with staff members in various physical environments. Despite the challenge, measuring quality is critical to help program directors and policy makers identify where to improve and how to support those…
