Role of educational testing correct answers 1. Assessments of how much learning has taken
place and to what degree it has been mastered (eg: end-of-year exam).
2. Assessments of how knowledge acquired by a given student compares to knowledge acquired
by various groups of students.
3. Assessments of whether a child is having difficulties learning material, why, and what might
be done to alleviate this difficulty (eg: specific learning disorders).
4. Assessments of the degree to which a child has the pre-requisites for learning.
Types of referral questions for educational testing correct answers *Does my infant have a
developmental delay?
*Is my child ready to begin primary school?
*Does my child have a learning difficulty?
*Has information taught in class been learned by the student?
*How well will this secondary school student perform at university in a particular degree?
Specific learning difficulty - reading correct answers Difficulty with word reading accuracy,
reading rate or fluency, and reading comprehension.
*Dyslexia.
*Comprises almost 80% of all diagnosed specific learning difficulties.
*Can occur in people with average or above average IQ.
*Recognising this issue has implications: letting people with dyslexia have more time for exams/
assignments, giving them handouts before class, recording lectures, etc.
Specific learning difficulties correct answers A pattern of scores representing unevenness in
intelligence and achievement.
*A child with average intelligence may fail at school because of a specific deficit or disability
that prevents learning.
*This affects an individual's ability to perceive or process information efficiently and accurately.
*Poor achievement in certain areas is often what triggers a referral for assessment.
*These individuals will often do really brilliantly in some areas and poorly on others. They're
also often very bright but struggle with assessments (red flag for teachers).
*In the DSM-5, there is one single overall diagnosis that incorporates deficits impacting
academic achievement.
*After a diagnosis, clinicians provide greater detail into the type of deficit using specifiers.
*To qualify for special education services, a child used to need to have a disability that adversely
affects their educational performance (now they use RTI).
*Discrepancies between IQ and achievement have traditionally been the main defining feature of
a learning disability.
, Specific learning difficulty - written expression correct answers Difficulty with spelling
accuracy, grammar and punctuation accuracy, and clarity/organisation of written expression.
Specific learning difficulty - mathematics correct answers Difficulty with number sense,
memorisation of arithmetic facts, accurate or fluent calculation, and accurate math reasoning.
*Discalculia.
*Find it difficult to visualise problems, or extract relevant information to solve complex math
problems, struggle with thinking quantitatively, or understanding/measuring time and space.
*Even basic calculations are really challenging.
Response to Intervention Tiers correct answers Tier 1 = supplemental instructions with usual
classroom routine.
Tier 2 = targeted more engaging interventions in small groups.
Tier 3 = intensive one-on-one interventions.
7 signs of a learning difficulty correct answers 1. Disorganisation → sloppy homework, papers
crumpled/ out of place.
2. Careless effort → misreads instructions or mishears directions.
3. Forgetfulness → the child's best excuse is "I forgot".
4. Refusal to do schoolwork or homework turns in work half-finished or needs somebody closely
supervising in order to complete assignments.
5. Slow performance → takes far more than the expected time to complete an assignment.
6. Poor attention → child's mind seems to wander or frequently does not know what she or he is
supposed to be doing.
7. Moodiness → child shows anger, sadness, or irritability when asked to complete a school or
home assignment.
Response To Intervention Model (RTI) correct answers A multi-tier approach to the early
identification and support of students with learning and behaviour needs.
*A way of identifying specific learning difficulties early on.
*Based on test-intervention-retest model.
*Is a form of dynamic assessment.
*Based on the premise that early intervention can prevent academic failure for children with
learning difficulties.
*Also based on the premise that early intervention can determine which students actually have
learning disabilities (as opposed to just suffering from other factors like inadequate instruction).
1. Teachers provide evidence-based instruction.
2. Regular evaluation of al students.
3. Struggling learners are provided with interventions to aid their rate of learning.
4. Progress is closely monitored and students are re-evaluated to gauge the effectiveness of the
interventions.
5. Re-evaluation, intervention and re-assessment occur as necessary
