Issues In Conceptualising And Assessing Emotional Intelligence, Jennifer Bryce
Issues In Conceptualising And Assessing Emotional Intelligence, Jennifer Bryce
2004 - The International Test Users' Conference
The author is in the process of developing a construct of the ‘emotional intelligence’ needed by novice workers. Driving this research is a belief that emotional intelligence is valued in today’s workplace particularly because of the need for flexibility and adaptability in terms of career prospects and because today knowledge is so readily accessible and constantly changing that young people need to have strong generic skills that will help them to keep learning throughout their lives. The intent is to develop a robust construct that will form a basis for rigorous high stakes assessment. It will be argued that some …

Developers, Users And Consumers Beware: Warnings About The Design And Use Of Psycho-Behavioural Rating Inventories And Analyses Of Data Derived From Them, Ken Rowe, Kathy Rowe
2004 - The International Test Users' Conference
Psycho-behavioural rating inventories are used routinely by psychologists and psychiatrists as assessment instruments to assist with the evaluation and ‘diagnosis’ of children and adolescents. They are also used in epidemiological studies to obtain normative/prevalence estimates of children/adolescents with psycho-behavioural ‘problems’. Advantages entailed in their use include ease of administration and the convenience of obtaining estimates of normative behaviours from large numbers of informants. However, serious decisions are frequently made on the basis of ‘measures’ obtained from such instruments, including the labelling of a child as ‘pathologic’, subsequent referral to intervention therapy services, and prescription of medication by a physician.This workshop …

Developmentally appropriate instruments are designed for assessing preschool children, school-age children, adolescents, adults between the ages of 18 and 59, and adults over the age of 59.To obtain multiple perspectives, selfreport forms are completed by the person who is being assessed and parallel forms are completed by people who know the person being assessed. The informants include parents, teachers, spouses, partners, caregivers, friends, and grown children of the person being assessed. ASEBA software systematically compares problems reported by each respondent.The systematic comparisons reveal similarities among and …
Quality Of Performance And Change-Sensitive Assessment Of Cognitive Ability, Gale H. Roid
Quality Of Performance And Change-Sensitive Assessment Of Cognitive Ability, Gale H. Roid
2004 - The International Test Users' Conference
Growth and change are fundamental processes in human development. Recent trends in education, psychology, medicine, and other fields have stimulated renewed interest in methods of measuring developmental growth and change (Collins & Sayer 2001). Educators and governmental agencies have recently placed greater emphasis on the importance of growth in reading as foundational to student learning (Torgesen 2002).A major review of the regulations is underway in the United States, concerning funding of special education in public schools (e.g., President’s Commission on Excellence in Special Education 2002) and the emphasis has been on ‘continuous progress’ assessment and accountability for student learning (e.g., …
