| Abstract | Testing with minority and disadvantaged populations in America has resulted in widespread abuse. Theorists have historically viewed tests as instruments for upward mobility in a system in which doors are often opened by parental wealth and status. Predictive validity of tests has not properly accounted for problems in correlational techniques which accrue when low socioeconomic minority groups who tend to live in homogeneous clusters are considered within the general population. One solution to the lack of norm referenced groups which reflect the homogeneity of minority groups is the use of criterion referenced tests which are useful for both diagnosis and teaching. A criterion referenced approach has been developed over a five year period. The results have been used for pre and post measures for assessing efficacy, for individual instruction, for screening children for further assessment, and as a general guide to help teachers understand individual needs. The test was developed by the Head Start staff and is periodically updated. Factor analysis suggests a specific language factor and a general readiness factor. Internal consistency has run consistently over .88 for administration by college sophomores. Problems of design and implementation are discussed. (Author/RC) |
