Abstract Although it is often assumed that mathematics ability alone predicts test performance, linguistic demands may also predict achievement. This study examined the role of language in assessment performance for children with intellectual disability (ID) at less severe levels, on KeyMath-Revised Inventory (KM-R) a sample 264 children, grades 2–5. Using confirmatory factor analysis, hypothesis KM-R would demonstrate discriminant validity measures abilities two-factor model was compared to...
Syntax provides critical support for both academic success and linguistic growth, yet it has not been a focus of language research in school-age African American children. This study examines complex syntax performance children second through fifth grades.
Problem solving encompasses the broad domain of human, goal-directed behaviors. Though we may attempt to measure problem using tightly controlled and decontextualized tasks, it is inextricably embedded in both reasoners’ experiences their contexts. Without situating solvers, contexts, our own experiential partialities as researchers, risk intertwining research information relevance with confirmatory biases about people, environments, ourselves. We review each these ecological facets solving,...
The purpose of this study was to extend a previous investigation the psychometrics Diagnostic Evaluation Language Variation–Screening Test (DELV-S) include pre-kindergarten children (primarily African American and from low-income households). (Petscher, Connor, & Al Otaiba, 2012) included racially socioeconomically diverse sample in kindergarten through second grade. Similar that study, two factors were found present study: one representing morphosyntactic ability nonword repetition...
The Strategy Choice Model (SCM) is a highly influential theory of human problem-solving. One strength this the allowance for both item and person variance to contribute problem-solving outcomes, but central tenet model has not been empirically tested. Explanatory Item Response Theory (EIRT) provides an ideal approach testing core feature SCM, as it allows simultaneous estimation effects on outcomes. We used EIRT test confirm SCM adolescents' (n = 376) solving addition problems. also allowed...
Little is known about mismatches between the language of mathematics testing instruments and rich linguistic repertoires that African American children develop at home in community. The current study aims to provide a proof concept novel explanatory item response design uses error analysis investigate relationship AAE child children's assessment outcomes. Here, we illustrate 2nd 3rd grade qualitative patterns performance on arithmetic tasks relation their dialect use elaborate unified...
Medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is the management of (OUD) on an outpatient basis with buprenorphine or buprenorphine/naloxone (or methadone, which limited to federally certified treatment programs). Primary care practices are well poised provide comprehensive patients OUD, including provision MOUD. The aim this study was assess provider and staff OUD attitudes role perceptions before after implementation a MOUD clinical service line. A survey distributed evaluate among providers...

Using multitrait, multimethod data, and confirmatory factor analysis, the current study examined effects of arithmetic item formatting possibility that across formats, abilities other than may contribute to children's answers. Measurement hypotheses were guided by several leading theories cognition. With a sample 1314 3rd grade students (age M=103.24 months, SD=5.41 months), Abstract Code Theory, Encoding Complex Triple Exact versus Approximate Calculations Hypothesis evaluated, using 11...
Purpose Many language tests use different versions that are not statistically linked or do have a developmental scaled score. The current article illustrates the problems of scores equated, followed by statistical model to derive Method Using an accelerated cohort design 890 students in Grades 1–5, confirmatory factor was fit 6 subtests Test Language Development–Primary and Intermediate: Fourth Edition ( Hammill & Newcomer, 2008a , 2008b ). allowed for linking general equating their...
