Title: Considerations in Assessment of Learning Aptitude


1
Considerations in Assessment of Learning Aptitude
  • Purposes
  • Identify disability
  • Issues and trends
  • Nature and definition of intelligence
  • Misuse of tests
  • Current practices
  • Assessment batteries
  • Adaptive behavior assessment

2
Sources of information about learning aptitude
  • School records (group tests, prior individual
    tests, developmental and school histories)
  • The student (individual tests and adaptive tests)
  • Teachers (observed learning aptitude current
    adaptive behavior in nonacademic)
  • Parents (developmental history, learning
    aptitude, current adaptive in home and community)

3
Group Tests of Intellectual Performance
  • Otis Lennon school ability test
  • (SAI)

4
Individual Test of Intellectual Performance
5
Wechsler Intelligence scale for children third
edition (p. 216)
  • Technical quality
  • Administration considerations
  • Results and interpretation

6
Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational
Battery-RevisedTests of Cognitive Ability
  • Long term retrieval
  • Short term retrieval
  • Processing speed
  • Auditory processing
  • Visual processing
  • Comprehensive knowledge
  • Fluid reasoning

7
Woodcock-Johnson R
  • Technical quality
  • Administrative considerations
  • Results and interpretations

8
Kaufman assessment battery for children

Stanford-Binet intelligence scale 4th edition
10
Non-Verbal Measures and Other Approaches to
Nonbiased Assessment
  • Potential bias of traditional measures of
    intelligence
  • Use with culturally and linguistically diverse
    students

11
  • Performance scale of the WISC-III
  • Raven progressive matrices
  • Leiter international performance scale revised
  • Tests of nonverbal intelligence (TONI-3)

12
Other approaches to nonbiased assessment
  • System of multicultural pluralistic assessment
  • Learning potential assessment device

13
Adaptive Behavior Measures
  • Usually not directly measured
  • Parents or teachers informants
  • Nonacademic functioning
  • Interviews and/or questionnaires

14
  • AAMR adaptive behavior scale school (2nd)
  • (ABS-S2)
  • Adaptive and maladaptive behaviors
  • 3-18 (or 21 for MR)
  • Technical quality
  • norm group info and
  • reliability appears adequate
  • Tech quality better than previous edition
  • Administrative consideration
  • Questionnaire and interview
  • Training needed for parent scale

15
ABS-S2 cont.
  • Results and interpretation
  • 5 factors personal self-sufficiency, community
    self-sufficiency, personal-social responsibility,
    social adjustment, and personal adjustment
  • 10 adaptive skill areas communication,self
    care, home-living, social, community use,
    self-direction, health and safety, functional
    academics, leisure, and work.

16
Other Measures of Adaptive Behavior
17
  • Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales
  • Three scales (2 interview and one classroom)
  • Birth to 18-11 and low-functioning adults
  • About 20 minutes
  • Communication (receptive, expressive, and
    written)
  • Daily living skills (personal, domestic and
    community)
  • Socialization (relationships)
  • Motor skills (gross and fine)

18
  • Scales of Independent Behavior-revised
  • (SIB-R)
  • Motor skills
  • Social interaction and communication skills
  • Personal living skills
  • Community living skills

19
  • Weller-Strawser Scales of Adaptive Behavior for
    the Learning Disabled
  • Social coping
  • Relationships
  • Pragmatic language
  • Production
  • Contains 35 items
  • Limitation classifies students into 2 categories,
    Mild-moderate or moderate severe and lack of
    sample group

20
  • Adaptive Behavior Evaluation Scale Revised
    (ABES-R)
  • 10 adaptive skill areas MR definition
