WIAT-III is designed to identify academic strengths and weaknesses, inform decisions regarding eligibility for service, placement, and diagnosis of specific learning disabilities (Pearson, 2009, p2). The goal of the WIAT-III is to provide in depth assessment and recommendations for students with specific learning disabilities. WIAT-III has made some addition to the subtests in Math Fluency, and Oral Reading. WIAT-III has eight composite scores and 16 subtests. Average time of test administration ranges from 1 minute to 17 minutes.
What type of grouping is used within classroom? 10 How do you differentiate between the students within the gifted class? 11 What do you do to motivate the unmotivated gifted students? 12 What is the process for removing a kid from the gifted program? 13.
Both of these formulas were found on page 225 in Mathematics in Our World (Bluman, 2005). Problem #37 • This sequence is geometric • Ending balance is $814.45 STEPS/CALCULTATIONS YOU PERFORMED TO REACH THE ANSWER: To find the ending balance, the formula of An = a1(rn-1) will be used. The initial balance is $500, the interest is 5%, and the time span is 10 years. 5% will be listed as 1.05 as the initial balance is 100% plus 5% interest, so 105% is written 1.05. The number of terms is n=10, the first term is a1=525, the common ratio is r = 1.05.
Outline one psychometric theory and one information processing theory of intelligence The psychometric approach to intelligence assumes that intelligence can be measure and focuses on different methods of measuring intelligence and personality. Theories of intelligence can be divided into three models: uni-factorial models, hierarchical models and multi-factorial models. The informational processing theory of intelligence emphasises different cognitive components used to engage when solving problems. This was developed by Sternberg’s triarchic theory, and is known to be the more cognitive approach and in contrast with the biological psychometric theory. One theory to the psychometric theory is the multi-factorial model, this suggests that intelligence is composed of a range of abilities and highlight the role of environmental factors.
People with low IQ can go on to succeed great things in life. Another critique would be if people believe that intelligence is objectively
This test measures what is termed intelligence quotient or IQ, in relationship to what the average person is expected to score. The statistical average is an IQ of one hundred. Individuals who test within the range of seventy to seventy five and below are considered to be intellectually disabled (Hardman 2011). Conceptual, social and practical skills are skills that people learn in order to function in everyday life. These are described as adaptive behavior skills (Hardman 2011).
Children’s Self-Efficacy in Peer Interactions (Wheeler & Ladd, 1982) Description: This scale is designed to measure youths’ perceptions of their ability to be successful in social interactions. This includes their ability to be persuasive towards peers in positive ways. The questionnaire contains two subscales that measure social self-efficacy in conflict and non- conflict situations. The subscales can be used separately or combined into a total score. Ages: 7-10 years old, Grades 3-8 Reliability: Alpha for the conflict situations subscale is .85 and .73 for non- conflict situations subscale.
Also, parents and teachers pay much attention to children’s academic achievement. Once their children’s academic achievement are lower than others’, they may look for for the reasons. However, birth order is quite possible one of the reasons. For instance, Zajonc (1976) reported that first born siblings scored higher on intelligence tests than their later born siblings. Thus, it is important to study the relationship between birth order and children’s academic achievement.
gEORGE c. MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL | “The knowledge that we value the most is the knowledge for which we can provide the strongest justifications.” To what extent would you agree with this claim? | Theory of Knowledge 2011-2012 | | | | | Honor Pledge ______________________________________________________________________ Annie Greenwood Word Count: 1,428 “The knowledge that we value the most is the knowledge for which we can provide the strongest justifications.” To what extent would you agree with this claim? When many people think about the knowledge that they have, it is usually on a basic level of presence or absence; you either know something or you don’t. But the depth of knowledge goes into a way deeper category than simply the presence of “knowing-that”. How do we know something and how does that coincide with how we can prove that claim?
In order to determine a child’s mental age, the basal age of the child is added to any extra months of credit the child earned at a higher age level (Foxcroft & Roodt, 2001). “The development of a child with a mental age of ten years corresponds to the mental development of the average ten year old child, no matter what his or her chronological age is” (Foxcroft & Roodt, 2001, p. 58). Grade equivalents are often used in a school setting. A pupil’s achievement can be compared to other children in the same grade. This kind of developmental scaled is used especially for expressing performance on standardized scholastic measures (Foxcroft & Roodt, 2001).
