AEPA NT601 EVALUATION TEST ANSWERS AND
QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔Alphabetic Principle - ✔✔an understanding that letters and letter patterns represent
the sounds of spoken words.
✔✔phonics - ✔✔foundational fro word id
relationship between letters and sounds
✔✔first step in FBA - ✔✔-describe behavior in concise, observation based terms
✔✔primary role of BIP - ✔✔to define expectations for the student in various school
environments
✔✔3 principles of UDL - ✔✔
✔✔discrete trial training - ✔✔a component of applied behavioral analysis that identifies
a specific behavior to modify and then uses specific antecedents and reinforcements to
successively shape the desired behavior
✔✔Pivotal Response Training (PRT) - ✔✔teach basic skills that stimulate
simultaneously in other areas(ex; motivation, multiple cues, self-intitiation and self-
management)
-reinforcement with a general behavior
-targets areas of development rather than specific
✔✔How to build intrinsic motivation - ✔✔-achievement in class
-demonstrate strengths
-break down tasks
✔✔PECS - ✔✔-augmentative communication focusing on functional communication
✔✔Task Analysis Inventory - ✔✔a family of job analysis methods, each with unique
characteristics; each focuses on analyzing all the tasks performed in the focal job
,✔✔Remedial approach - ✔✔-repetition and developing or reinforcing certain skills
✔✔compensatory approach - ✔✔-implemented when remedial approach is not working,
focused on building upon children's strengths and working with or around their
weaknesses. audiobooks, text to speech, speech recognition, are compensatory
accommmodations. Should be delivered at same time as remedial approach
✔✔Bloom's Taxonomy - ✔✔remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing,
evaluating, creating
✔✔guided learning - ✔✔help students engage in learning process, when teacher and
students complete prctice activities together. learn ways to approach concepts they
have just learned. Students can understand and ask questions about lesson-related
activities before working independently
✔✔diagnostic prescriptive method - ✔✔-factors that impede student learning. observe,
assess, see skill deficits, then precriptive teaching
✔✔direct reading instruction - ✔✔-breaks concept learning into specific tasks and
proesses, focus on mastering one skill before moving onto another.
✔✔direct reading instruction - ✔✔Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocab
development, and comprehension
✔✔Reliability - ✔✔consistency of measurement across several repetitions
✔✔internal consistency reliability - ✔✔consistency of test items with one another by
measuring the same quantity
✔✔Inter-rater consistency - ✔✔-reliability among individuals scoring the same test
✔✔Validity - ✔✔-assessment is measuring what it is intending to measure
✔✔content validity - ✔✔-test includes items representing the complete range of possible
items
✔✔criterion validity - ✔✔-effectively measures a construct according to established
criteris
✔✔concurrent validity - ✔✔-measures the criterion and the construct at the same time
✔✔predictive validity - ✔✔-extent to which a score or field is predicted and measured
, ✔✔generlizability - ✔✔-to determine the reliability, reproduction, and measurement
under a specific condition. Such as the test scores for a student's performance. results
can be generalized to another test
✔✔Compensatory grading - ✔✔the practice of balancing out lower performance in one
area or subject with higher performance in another
✔✔non-compensatory grading - ✔✔requires a similar standard of achievement in each
area or subject
✔✔Cut scores (types and how they are determined) - ✔✔Specified point in a distribution
of scores below which candidates are rejected
Raising cut score will result in fewer false positives but more false negatives
Criterion-referenced and norm-referenced
✔✔standard deviation - ✔✔a computed measure of how much scores vary around the
mean score
✔✔standard score - ✔✔A score that expresses an individual's position relative to the
mean, based on the standard deviation
✔✔Scaled Score - ✔✔weighted score used when the sub scores hold different weights
when making up a total score
✔✔Domain - ✔✔Most inclusive taxonomic category; larger than a kingdom
✔✔Item Response Theory (IRT) - ✔✔a mathematical approach to choosing test items in
which the probability of a positive response to an item is determined by the person's
estimated position on the underlying trait being measured, as well as by characteristics
of the item
✔✔mean - ✔✔average
✔✔Median - ✔✔the middle score in a distribution; half the scores are above it and half
are below it
✔✔Mode - ✔✔the most frequently occurring score(s) in a distribution
✔✔positive skew - ✔✔high outlier
✔✔negative skew - ✔✔low outlier
✔✔normal distribution - ✔✔A function that represents the distribution of variables as a
symmetrical bell-shaped graph.
