School Readiness Assessment
Assessment of young children around school entry-right before kindergarten, at kindergarten entry, or very early in the kindergarten year.
1. Improve learning2. Identify children with special needs3. Evaluate programs4. Monitor trends over time5. Use for high-stakes accountability(Maxwell & Clifford, 2004)

Types of Assessment
• Naturalistic – Assessment that occurs in the natural setting and
provides opportunities for children to perform skills from various domains
– Observations, work samples, checklists, anecdotal records
• Standardized, norm referenced– Assessment that is formal with a set of standard
questions and results that are based on comparisons to other children

![Page 14: Unit 2: All By Myself! School Readiness and Intelligence](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649f4d5503460f94c6d498/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
IntelligenceIntelligence
Psychologists don’t all agree about the nature of intelligence.
However, it’s the term that most use to talk about the extent to which a person can consistently learn and perform effectively in a wide variety of situations.

Defining IntelligenceDefining Intelligence
• It is adaptive (can be used flexibly and in a variety of situations)
• It involves learning ability
• It involves the use of prior knowledge
• It involves many different mental processes
• It is culture-specific
(McDevitt & Ormrod, 2007)
![Page 16: Unit 2: All By Myself! School Readiness and Intelligence](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649f4d5503460f94c6d498/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Definition of IntelligenceDefinition of Intelligence
Ability to apply past knowledge and experiences flexibly to accomplish challenging new tasks (McDevitt & Ormrod, 2007)
![Page 17: Unit 2: All By Myself! School Readiness and Intelligence](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649f4d5503460f94c6d498/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Question…
Why do you think past knowledge and experiences are relevant to understanding intelligence?

• Cattell’s Fluid and Crystallized Intelligences
• Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences
• Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory
• Distributed Intelligence

Spearman’s gSpearman’s g
• Charles Spearman (1904,1927)• Proposed that intelligence comprises both
– A single, pervasive reasoning ability (general factor) that is used on a wide variety of tasks
– A number of narrow abilities (specific factors) involved in executing particular tasks
• Information Processing Speed(McDevitt & Ormrod, 2007)
![Page 20: Unit 2: All By Myself! School Readiness and Intelligence](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649f4d5503460f94c6d498/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cattell’s Fluid Cattell’s Fluid and Crystallized Intelligencesand Crystallized Intelligences
• Raymond Cattell (1963,1987)• Fluid Intelligence (gf) – abililty to acquire
knowledge quickly and adapt to new situations effectively (influenced by biological factors)
• Crystallized Intelligence (gc) – the knowledge and skills they have accumulated from their experiences, schooling, and culture (influenced by environmental factors)
(McDevitt & Ormrod, 2007)

Gardner’s Multiple IntelligenceGardner’s Multiple Intelligence
• People who are quite skilled in one are but may be seemingly average in others
• Multiple Intelligence may take someone different forms in different cultures – For example, a farming community would
emphasize the naturalist intelligence because they depend on natural patterns for their sustenance.
• Offers the possibility that the great majority of children are intelligent in one way or another
(McDevitt & Ormrod, 2007)

Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory
Intelligent behavior involves:1. Cognitive Processes• Interpreting new situations• Concentration• Identifying important information• Problem solving• Finding relationships between different ideas• Using feedback• Applying cognitive and metacognitive processes(McDevitt & Ormrod, 2007)
![Page 24: Unit 2: All By Myself! School Readiness and Intelligence](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649f4d5503460f94c6d498/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory
Intelligent behavior involves:2. Prior Experience• Using prior experience to deal with new
information and situations• Dealing with familiar situations quickly and
effectively3. Environmental Context• Adapting information to fit the environment• Adapting the environment to fit personal needs• Selecting an environment(McDevitt & Ormrod, 2007)
![Page 25: Unit 2: All By Myself! School Readiness and Intelligence](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649f4d5503460f94c6d498/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Distributed IntelligenceDistributed Intelligence
• Intelligent behavior depends on physical, social, and cultural support mechanisms
• Children and Adolescents can “distribute” their thinking in at least three ways– They can use physical objects, and especially
technology, to handle and manipulate large amounts of information
– They can work with others to explore ideas and solve problems
– They can represent and think about the situations they encounter using the various symbolic tools their culture provides
(McDevitt & Ormrod, 2007)

Measuring IntelligenceMeasuring Intelligence
• Alfred Binet• Identifying students who would have
exceptional difficulty in regular classrooms and would be in need of special education services
• Intelligence Test: general measure of current cognitive functioning, used primarily to predict academic achievement over the short term.
(McDevitt & Ormrod, 2007)
![Page 27: Unit 2: All By Myself! School Readiness and Intelligence](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649f4d5503460f94c6d498/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Test of General IntelligenceTest of General Intelligence
• General Intelligence Test– Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (verbal
comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, processing speed)
– Standford-Binet Intelligence Scales (fluid reasoning, knowledge, working memory, visual-spatial processing, quantitative reasoning)
– Universal Nonverbal Intelligence Test• IQ Scores(McDevitt & Ormrod, 2007)

Validity and ReliabilityValidity and Reliability
Validity of an intelligence test is the extent to which it actually measures intelligence
Reliability of an intelligence test is the extent to which it yields consistent, dependable scores.

Exceptionalities in Intelligence
• Giftedness: Unusually high ability in one or more areas, to the point where children require special educational services to help them meet their full potential
• Mental Retardation: Disability marked by significantly below-average general intelligence and deficits in adaptive behavior
![Page 34: Unit 2: All By Myself! School Readiness and Intelligence](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649f4d5503460f94c6d498/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Case Study: Fresh VegetablesSteven (12 years old)• No known genetic problems• Labeled with mental retardation• Schooling: one year of first grade• Not permitted to go to school or go out to play; limited
to his apartment• Sent back to school and teacher began to suspect
that his issue was a lack of background experience rather than mental retardation?
• Students had to bring “fresh” vegetables to class; Steven brought a can of beans
• Steven said they were fresh because he got them off the shelf that morning
• By high school, Steven was in regular classes and maintaining a GPA of 3.5
![Page 35: Unit 2: All By Myself! School Readiness and Intelligence](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649f4d5503460f94c6d498/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Case Study: Fresh Vegetables
1) Did Steven have mental retardation? Why or Why Not?
2) The school psychologist recommended that Steven be placed in a special class for students with special needs. Was such a class an appropriate placement for Steven? Why or Why Not?
