Evaluating an Assessment/Measurement

Evaluating an Assessment/Measurement

In this assignment, you will focus on the single published instrument of assessment/measurement, the child who is the target participant in the case study, the area of development, and the information synthesized from the journal articles. (Module 1).

In relation to the child identified as the target participant and the selected developmental area, you will decide what the instrument will be used to measure, how it will be measured, who will conduct the assessment/measurement, and examples of the instrument’s use. You will relate what you learned from the journal articles to your analysis of the instrument and its application.

You will assemble the case study in a slide presentation with audio appropriate for sharing with early childhood practitioners to illustrate best practices in the use of an assessment/measurement instrument.

Create a 10- to 12-slide presentation (including title and references slide) with audio to share your case study.
Use APA format for the references slide and in-text citations.
Follow the directions to submit your final slide presentation.
Step 1. Create
Create a slide presentation. It should contain the following:

Digital Learning Connections icon
Title slide
Introduction of target participant to audience. Refer to the child by initial rather than name; for example, R instead of Robert or Child 1.
Include the child’s demographic, personal/home, and educational information.
Rationale for instrument selection
Aspects of the instrument and evidence-based support for best practices
The participant’s developmental area
What related to the developmental area the instrument will measure
How the developmental area will be measured
Who will conduct the assessment/measurement? Why this person?
Examples of how the instrument may be used
Concluding slide wrapping up best practices
References slide
Step 2. Incorporate
Incorporate audio to the slide presentation. Be sure the slides are in summary/presentation format (not paragraph format).

Include bullet points, visuals, pictures, and/or graphics where appropriate. Use the audio to explain and expand upon the information on each slide.

Step 3. Submit
Submit your final slide presentation with audio.

Step 4. Look ahead
Look ahead at the Module 3 assignment whicixch requires conducting three observation
