Book Accuracy of Automated Developmental Sentence Scoring Software

Download or read book Accuracy of Automated Developmental Sentence Scoring Software written by Carrie Ann Judson and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previously collected language samples from 118 children between the ages of 3 and 11 years in age were manually and automatedly coded for DSS. The overall accuracy of DSSA was about 86%, while the mean point difference was approximately .7. DSSA generally scored language samples of children achieving lower manual DSS scores or children with language impairment with less accuracy than those of other children. While some precautions may need to be taken, accuracy levels are sufficiently high to allow the fully automated use of DSSA as an alternative to manual DSS scoring.

Book Scoring Sentences Developmentally

Download or read book Scoring Sentences Developmentally written by Amy Seal and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A variety of tools have been developed to assist in the quantification and analysis of naturalistic language samples. In recent years, computer technology has been employed in language sample analysis. This study compares a new automated index, Scoring Sentences Developmentally (SSD), to two existing measures. Eighty samples from three corpora were manually analyzed using DSS and MLU and the processed by the automated software. Results show all three indices to be highly correlated, with correlations ranging from .62 to .98. The high correlations among scores support further investigation of the psychometric characteristics of the SSD software to determine its clinical validity and reliability. Results of this study suggest that SSD has the potential to compliment other analysis procedures in assessing the language development of young children.

Book A Comparison of Manual and Automated Grammatical Precoding on the Accuracy of Automated Developmental Sentence Scoring

Download or read book A Comparison of Manual and Automated Grammatical Precoding on the Accuracy of Automated Developmental Sentence Scoring written by Sarah Elizabeth Bennett Janis and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developmental Sentence Scoring (DSS) is a standardized language sample analysis procedure that evaluates and scores a child’s use of standard American-English grammatical rules within complete sentences. Automated DSS programs have the potential to increase the efficiency and reduce the amount of time required for DSS analysis. The present study examines the accuracy of one automated DSS software program, DSSA 2.0, compared to manual DSS scoring on previously collected language samples from 30 children between the ages of 2; 5 and 7; 11. Additionally, this study seeks to determine the source of error in the automated score by comparing DSSA 2.0 analysis given manually versus automatedly assigned grammatical tag input. The overall accuracy of DSSA 2.0 was 86%; the accuracy of individual grammatical category-point value scores varied greatly. No statistically significant difference was found between the two DSSA 2.0 input conditions (manual vs. automated tags) suggesting that the underlying grammatical tagging is not the primary source of error in DSSA 2.0 analysis.

This study found that MLU and DSS are both strongly correlated with age and these correlations are statistically significant, r = .605, p

Book Language Assessments for Preschool Children

Download or read book Language Assessments for Preschool Children written by Anders Højen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-04 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element has two main purposes. Firstly, it discusses purposes, advantages, and disadvantages as well as the challenges of different formats of language assessment, concluding with a focus on educator-administered language assessment in early childhood and education programs. It addresses the selection of assessment domains, the trade-off between brevity and precision, the challenge of assessing bilinguals, and accommodating the requirements of funders (e.g., government agencies) and users (e.g., educators and schools). It draws on lessons learned from developing two instruments for a national Danish-language and preliteracy assessment program. Secondly, it introduces those two educator-administered instruments-Language Assessment 3-6 (LA 3-6) and Language Assessment 2-year-olds (LA 2)-with respect to content, norming, gender and socioeconomic influences as well as psychometric qualities. The intention is that this experience can help enable the extension of the educator-based approach to other languages and contexts, while simultaneously acknowledging that linguistic and cultural adaptations are crucial.

Book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8

Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.
