VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT & INTERVENTION

Why are validity and reliability in assessments important? Can you have one without the other? The NAEYC continues by asserting that kindergarten entry assessment should be a baseline snapshot followed by continuous assessments throughout the school year to inform teachers how instruction should be guided (Sege, 2012). They point out an overview of key issues on building an assessment system: – Pyschometric characteristics: Assessments should be both reliable and valid. “Reliability refers to the degree to which an assessment provides the same result when administered by different people to the same child or to the same child at two time points in close proximity. Validity refers to the degree to which the results of the assessment accurately capture what they are intending to capture.” – Types of assessment: “Direct assessments are those administered directly to the child. Direct assessment can be costly, time consuming, and require specialized skills to administer; however, because responses are coming directly from the child they are also often assumed to be objective and accurate (although they may in fact vary in validity). Observational measures do not require explicit administration to children, as they are typically assessments completed by adults after or during a period of observing the child (Sege, 2012). (A good system of assessment is a balance between summative and formative). – Standardization: “The popular concern is that of very young children completing paper and pencil assessments en masse, similar to perceptions of large-scale standardized assessments for older children. The use of this type of assessment is not appropriate for young children. However, the concept of standardization is relevant. Briefly, standardization means that an assessment is administered in the same way each time it is administered (Sege, 2012). – Components of an early childhood assessment system. “High-quality early childhood education is supported by assessments aligned with instructional goals and approaches. Assessment, however, does not refer simply to the tool being used; it refers to an interconnected system of decisions and activity… The system requires supports and procedures to effectively and appropriately administer the assessment, as well as a data management and analysis system that captures the results of the assessments and allows the data to be used appropriately (Sege, 2012). Hope this meets your satisfaction, student. Reference: Sege, I. (2012) Eye on Education: NAEYC Offers Guidance on Early Childhood Assessment, Strategies for Children, Inc

dq 1
Applying Rand’s Objectivism (graded)

Ayn Rand’s Objectivist philosophy has been touted by her detractors as the philosophy of self-interested selfishness.

Her four epistemological principles are:
1. Metaphysics: Objective reality of the world and the objects in it.
2. Epistemology: Reason as the one and only key to understanding.
3. Ethics: Self-interest in what behavior is but also what it should be.
4. Politics: Capitalism through the performance of deeds by individuals who are self-interested.

In the early 1960’s, a student asked a spokesman for Objectivism what would happen to the poor in an Objectivist’s free society.
The spokesman answered, “If you want to help them, you will not be stopped.”

If one reads Rand’s works, Atlas Shrugged, or The Fountainhead, one will conclude that this would be the answer Ayn would have given to that student as well.

What do you conclude from the answer given by the Objectivist spokesperson?
Is Objectivism, like Moral Relativism, the opposite of ethics?
And what clue in what she taught leads to your conclusion?
dq 2
Working Conflict Resolution Methods (graded)

Different ways to analyze ethical behaviors and dilemmas exist, and many of them will help direct you to the correct or “best” solution to a problem.

As we discussed in week 1 in the “tough choices” .pdf, sometimes right vs. right or wrong vs. wrong decisions have to be made.

In the lecture this week, you are given three ethical dilemma resolution models to try out on a dilemma provided there. Please review that interactive before posting to the threads this week, and let’s bring your questions and comments about the “proposed” solutions here to the threads. We will talk about that through mid-week, and then I will post a new dilemma here where we will, as a group, begin analyzing it using the different methods.

You will need to be able to use these three models (Blanchard and Peale, Laura Nash and Front page of the Newspaper) on the final exam … so let’s be sure to practice all three of them together this week.

So, to start this off, let’s address the dilemma in the Week 6 Lecture interactive (in the middle of the page). You MUST read the lecture and run the interactive in order to participate in the threads this week!
Review the sample solution to the Laura Nash method.

Do you agree with that analysis? If so, what parts do you think really helped you work through the dilemma? If not, which parts do you not agree with?
Review the sample solution to the Front Page of the Newspaper method.

Do you think this is one of those types of dilemmas for which this model works? If not, why not? If so, why? How did using this method help you work through the dilemma?
Review the sample solution to the Blanchard and Peale method.

Do you agree with the analysis? If not, why not? If so, in what way did this help you analyze this dilemma?
Pick ONE of the above 3 questions and let’s get started. Or, respond to another student with details about why you agree or disagree with their analysis. Feel free to kindly debate with each other. Do not take things personally if someone disagrees. Be sure to show that you have viewed the lecture and interactive and that you attempted an analysis for “high quality” posts this week. After Wednesday, I will bring in another scenario and we can analyze that one together as a class.

psychological perspectives discussed in the text. Based on your current knowledge of psychology, which of the
perspectives do you suppose it was?
a. the behavioral perspective

change coaching behavior and to help increase the self-esteem of the children they coach. Dr. Kohler’s
research is best characterized as:

step of the scientific process were they engaged in?

parental expectations and child academic achievement. In other words, children who perform well in school
tend to have parents who have high expectations of them. However, Dr. Gonzalez can’t tell which variable

measure whether this manipulation effects another variable, and:
a. interpret the correlation between the two variables.
b. attempt to manipulate other factors.
c. attempt to control or hold constant other factors.
d. use random sampling. 31. A stress researcher wants to look at the effect of meditation on anxiety. To do this, she creates two
groups of subjects: one group receives instruction in meditation, while the other receives no training at all.
One month later, she has subjects complete a questionnaire designed to measure anxiety and she looks to see
whether there are any differences in anxiety between the two groups. In this experiment, the meditation
condition (meditation vs. no meditation) would be the _____________ variable and anxiety would be the
_____________ variable.

d. how researchers can accidentally or unintentionally manipulate other dependent variables.
36. A psychologist is interested in looking at the effectiveness of a new computer program in helping
students learn math. She decides to test this new program with a group of middle school students. At this
particular school, the boys and girls tend to be disruptive when they are in the same classroom, so she decides
to run them separately in the experiment. She creates a group of boys who use the computer program four
times per week. She creates a group of girls who do not use the computer program to serve as a comparison
group. This experimental design is flawed because gender is a ______________ and as a result, the internal
validity of the study has been __________.
a. confounding variable; lowered
b. dependent variable; lowered
c. confounding variable; raised
d. dependent variable; raised 37. The internal validity of an experiment is lowered by experimenter expectancy effects because:
a. the behavior of the experimenter may have caused the participants to respond the way they did.

caused the results.
c. the results of the experiment may have been due to participants’ expectations about the treatment
they thought they were receiving.
d. the participants may have used cues in the experiment to figure out the researcher’s hypothesis. 38. The problem of participant placebo effects and experimenter expectancy effects are both minimized by:
