Chapter 8: Educational Assessment Basics
A broad concept that addresses what we have learned in school
Educational ability
This stands for National Assessment of Educational Progress
NAEP
Alfred Binet created the first intelligence test in 1904 for this purpose
To identify students who needed educational help
The five cognitive factors in Stanford-Binet 5th Edition include Fluid Reasoning, Knowledge, Quantitative Reasoning, Visual-Spatial Processing, and_____________
Working Memory
These inventories measure what you like, while aptitude tests measure what you're good at
Interest inventories
The type of rating scale used by the Strong Interest Inventory
Five-point Likert scale (Strongly Like to Strongly Dislike)
These tests measure what has been learned, while aptitude tests estimate readiness to learn
Achievement tests
NAEP testing occurs every this many years for each grade level in reading and math
Two years
The IQ formula introduced by Lewis Terman
(Mental Age/Chronological Age) x 100
The three age-specific tests in the Wechsler family
WPPSI-IV, WISC-V, and WAIS-IV
Career and occupational assessment is most critical during these life events
Transition points (entering high school, graduating college, or making career changes)
The General Occupational Themes on the Strong Interest Inventory are based on this model
Holland's Hexagon Model
Tests given in school settings that measure broad content areas across multiple subjects
Survey battery tests
A comprehensive assessment tool that includes both Tests of Achievement and Tests of Cognitive Abilities
Woodcock-Johnson III (WJ-III)
In Spearman's Two-Factor Model, these are the two factors
General intelligence (g) and specific abilities (s)
In Stanford-Binet testing, this is where you get all items correct (2 consecutive perfect levels)
Basal level
Interest inventories are good at predicting this, not job performance
Job satisfaction
This stands for Occupational Information Network, a database produced by the U.S. Department of Labor
O*NET
Tests primarily used to assess problem areas of learning and identify learning disabilities
Diagnostic tests
A quick 15-45 minute assessment of basic reading, spelling, and math computation
WRAT4 (Wide Range Achievement Test)
This type of intelligence is innate processing power that declines with age, while crystallized intelligence is accumulated knowledge
Fluid intelligence (gf)
The five index scores measured by WISC-V include Verbal Comprehension, Visual Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory, and __________.
Processing Speed
A critical limitation of interest inventories: interest in an area does not necessarily correlate with this
Ability in that area
An important distinction about O*NET is that it is NOT this type of website
A job board for finding individual job openings
Family background and peer group composition were the strongest predictors of student achievement according to this 1966 report
The Coleman Report
This test assesses kindergarten readiness including letters/sounds, phonemic awareness, oral language, comprehension, and early mathematical knowledge
KRT (Kindergarten Readiness Test)
(both years acceptable)
A brief vocabulary pretest in the Stanford-Binet that determines the starting point for the full test
Routing test
Three populations that particularly benefit from non-verbal intelligence tests
People with autism (nonverbal), recent immigrants with language barriers, and deaf/hard of hearing individuals
According to the textbook's final thoughts, choosing a career should never be based solely on this
Taking a test
he ASVAB is described as the most widely used test of this type in the world, consisting of 10 "power tests"
Multiple aptitude test
