Hi, guys.
- 00:01 - 00:03
I would be talking to you about the Weschler individual
- 00:04 - 00:04
achievement test.
- 00:05 - 00:06
Also, what is that?
- 00:07 - 00:10
It's an individually administered achievement test that is used in
- 00:10 - 00:13
a variety of clinical, educational and research settings.
- 00:15 - 00:15
That's why it for sure.
- 00:16 - 00:18
It was originally published in 1992 by David Wessler.
- 00:19 - 00:21
It was originally designed to assess the act on the
- 00:21 - 00:24
capabilities of people between the ages of four and 85
- 00:25 - 00:27
and why it is focused on epidemic skills as opposed
- 00:28 - 00:28
to measuring intelligence.
- 00:30 - 00:32
There's been three revision since 1992.
- 00:33 - 00:34
I'm in 2005.
- 00:35 - 00:38
The biggest revision was toe having align more with idea,
- 00:40 - 00:43
um, since then in 2009 that there was some adjusting
- 00:43 - 00:47
to the sub tests, and there's one that's productive to
- 00:47 - 00:48
come out and fall of 2020.
- 00:49 - 00:52
That adds a few new sub tests.
- 00:55 - 00:58
So the purpose purpose of why it is used for
- 00:58 - 01:02
the analysis of academic achievement, supporting diagnosis of specific learning,
- 01:02 - 01:07
disabilities, academic program placement, intervention, planning and dyslexia screening slash
- 01:08 - 01:11
evaluation so it could be given.
- 01:12 - 01:15
While there's paper and pencil work online, it's individually administered.
- 01:16 - 01:18
It's a norm reference measure of academic achievement.
- 01:19 - 01:22
It's composed of seven composite scores and is made up
- 01:22 - 01:25
of 16 sub tests that may be given individually.
- 01:27 - 01:29
And those 16 sub test really affects the time of
- 01:30 - 01:33
the tastic and range from 35 to 104 minutes because
- 01:33 - 01:35
some of them aren't given to the younger students.
- 01:36 - 01:41
So, like pre K through second grade, I includes error
- 01:41 - 01:46
analysis. Will scoring that yield standards Force percentiles Age last
- 01:47 - 01:51
great equivalence for Central Rings, Standard nine and National Center
- 01:51 - 01:52
for Education Statistics.
- 01:53 - 01:55
And there's Web based and manuals boring available.
- 01:59 - 02:01
So breaking it down into the sub test, I'm going
- 02:01 - 02:02
to quickly read through them.
- 02:02 - 02:05
There's a little bit more information underneath in the age
- 02:05 - 02:08
range that they're usually given to, so there's listing comprehension.
- 02:09 - 02:13
Early reading skills, reading comprehension, math problem solving else event
- 02:13 - 02:17
writing, fluency, sentence composition, word reading, essay composition.
- 02:19 - 02:23
Suitable word to quoting numeracy, Orel expression, Orel Reading fluency,
- 02:23 - 02:25
spelling, math, fluency.
- 02:25 - 02:28
In addition, math, fluency in subtraction and mass fluency and
- 02:28 - 02:37
multiplication. So the general administration directions you're provided the materials
- 02:38 - 02:42
you get a record form response booklet, Examiner's manual scoring
- 02:42 - 02:49
book work, but and Wyatt three sample responses on those
- 02:49 - 02:50
it suggested dialogue.
- 02:50 - 02:52
So says say, I'll be asking you to do a
- 02:52 - 02:53
number of things today.
- 02:54 - 02:55
Some of the things may be easy for you, but
- 02:55 - 02:56
some things may seem heart.
- 02:57 - 03:00
Most people do not know every answer or finish everything.
- 03:00 - 03:01
But please try your best.
- 03:02 - 03:02
You have any questions?
- 03:06 - 03:07
So reading comprehension.
- 03:08 - 03:10
Orel Reading those sub tests are items thoughts, and it
- 03:10 - 03:14
allows for administration of items that are moderately difficult for
- 03:14 - 03:16
the students and provides the most information about his or
- 03:16 - 03:17
her achievement level.
- 03:18 - 03:21
Other span a range of difficulty levels and are delineated
- 03:22 - 03:23
by grade based start and stop points.
- 03:24 - 03:30
And these items that's reduced overall administration time for the
- 03:31 - 03:32
salt test that don't use item sets.
- 03:33 - 03:37
There's great based starting points and stopping points that are
- 03:37 - 03:39
based on the current grade level or last grade completed.
- 03:41 - 03:44
You also reverse score reverse of the score of zero
- 03:45 - 03:48
on any of the 1st 3 items administered, and you
- 03:48 - 03:51
just continue the test after four consecutive zero scores.
- 03:56 - 04:00
Um, Wyatt three is considered a valid exam across generals
- 04:00 - 04:06
in special education and across all demographic testing groups, and
- 04:06 - 04:09
it's also, um, a reliable test.
- 04:10 - 04:14
So it is was tested against the half split must've
- 04:14 - 04:18
and the test retest method a minute received a reliability
- 04:19 - 04:31
range of 83 to 97 in 82 to 96 and
- 04:31 - 04:34
I suggest if you guys want some more information that
- 04:34 - 04:39
you, um, check out the first source.
- 04:40 - 04:45
It's a fantastic power point that really breaks down the
- 04:45 - 04:48
tasks and provides a lot of information just on administration
- 04:49 - 04:54
and the sub test and just the general scoring, too,
- 04:56 - 04:56
being you guys were listening.
