Analyzing and Interpreting Results

Chapter 13 provided an outline for interpreting test results and designing educational goals for appropriate interventions. There are a lot of factors that go into making these decisions and they should not be taken lightly. How do you view this process? What aspects do you find helpful and which do you find cumbersome? Finally, what questions do you have about the information highlighted in Chapter 13?

  1. I feel as though the process was very detailed. This can be seen as both a positive and negative thing. The amount of detail will be sure that the test results are interpreted correctly, which will help eliminate re-testing and overwhelming the student. The negative is that there are many things for testers and those interpreting the results to remember.

  2. I do not feel as if I can add quality informaiton to this question as I am still learning how to interpret test. However, from what I do believe I understand, I think it is important that test results can be used to guide educational decisions. I also think that test choice is as important as the interpretations itself.

  3. The process to interpert test results is a long process and could seem like it would take a while to analyze and figure out where they are. The most cubersome part would be analyzing test. The most helpful will background information about the child and where they are academically and just culture.
    Do teachers go through ALL the steps to analyze the test or are there sometimes that you can skip parts?

  4. We find the process overwhelming, but thorough. Yet, we feel like the test results needs more of an explaination, to fully comprehend what was tested and where the student stands. We have more specific questions that pertain directly to the case studies in the book.
