项目摘要

The project will develop and refine an electronic Test of Early Numeracy (e-TEN) in English and Spanish, focused on number and operations. The assessment will incorporate a learning trajectory that describes students' development of the understanding of number. The electronic assessment will allow for the test to adapt to students' responses and incorporate games to increase children's engagement with the tasks. These features take advantage of the electronic format. The achievement test will be designed to be efficient, user-friendly, affordable, and accessible for a variety of learning environments and a broad age range (3 to 8 years old). The overarching goal of the assessment design is to create a measure that is more accurate, more accessible to a wider range of children, and easier to administer than existing measures. This project is funded by the Discovery Research Pre-K-12 Program, which funds research and development of STEM innovations and approaches in assessment, teaching and learning. The e-TEN will assess informal and formal knowledge of number and operations in domains including verbal counting, numbering, numerical relationships, and mental addition/subtraction. The items will be designed using domain-based learning trajectories that describe students' development of understanding of the topics. The test will be designed with some key characteristics. First, it will be semi-adaptive over six-month age spans. Second, it will have an electronic format that allows for uniform implementation and an efficient, user-friendly administration. The test will also be accessible to Spanish speakers using an inclusive assessment model. Finally, the game-based aspect should increase children's engagement and present more meaningful questions. The user-friendly aspect includes simplifying the assessment process compared to other tests of numeracy in early-childhood. The first phase of the development will test a preliminary version of the e-TEN to test its functionality and feasibility. The second phase will focus on norming of the items, reliability and validity. Reliability will be assessed using Item Response Theory methods and test-retest reliability measures. Validity will be examined using criterion-prediction validity and construct validity. The final phase of the work will include creating a Spanish version of the test including collecting data from bilingual children using both versions of the e-TEN.

该项目将开发和完善英语和西班牙语的早期算术电子测试（e-TEN），重点关注数字和运算。评估将包含一个学习轨迹，描述学生对数字的理解的发展。电子评估将使测试能够适应学生的反应，并结合游戏来提高孩子们对任务的参与度。这些功能利用了电子格式的优势。成绩测试将被设计为高效、用户友好、价格实惠且适合各种学习环境和广泛的年龄范围（3 至 8 岁）。评估设计的总体目标是创建一种比现有措施更准确、更容易为更广泛的儿童所接受且更易于管理的措施。该项目由 Discovery Research Pre-K-12 计划资助，该计划资助 STEM 创新以及评估、教学和学习方法的研究和开发。 e-TEN 将评估非正式和正式的数字和运算知识，包括口头计数、编号、数字关系和心理加法/减法。这些项目将使用基于领域的学习轨迹来设计，该轨迹描述学生对主题的理解的发展。该测试的设计将具有一些关键特征。首先，它将在六个月的年龄跨度内具有半适应性。其次，它将采用电子格式，以便统一实施和高效、用户友好的管理。使用包容性评估模型的西班牙语使用者也可以参加该测试。最后，基于游戏的方面应该增加孩子们的参与度并提出更有意义的问题。与其他幼儿数学测试相比，用户友好的方面包括简化评估过程。开发的第一阶段将测试 e-TEN 的初步版本，以测试其功能和可行性。第二阶段将重点关注项目规范、信度和效度。将使用项目响应理论方法和重测可靠性措施来评估可靠性。将使用标准预测有效性和构造有效性来检查有效性。该工作的最后阶段将包括创建西班牙语版本的测试，包括使用两个版本的 e-TEN 收集双语儿童的数据。
