q3 i? Only one screener (NSS) had acceptable predictive validity among the nine screeners evaluated. → Laura A. Outhwaite 2024

Evidence¶

Laura A. Outhwaite 2024¶

Laura A. Outhwaite, Pirjo Aunio, Jaimie Ka Yu Leung, Jo Van Herwegen. (2024). Measuring Mathematical Skills in Early Childhood: a Systematic Review of the Psychometric Properties of Early Maths Assessments and Screeners. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09950-6

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Synthesis of predictive validity evidence for screeners against the correlation threshold ≥ .60 (Table 1), over follow-up periods of 10 weeks to 3 years. The review reports only the NSS screener met the threshold; all others were rated mixed (n = 1) or low (n = 7).

"Predictive validity was considered in nine screeners, over periods ranging from 10 weeks to 3 years. However, only one screener had acceptable predictive validity (NSS; Jordan et al., 2012)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• A pre-registered systematic review identified 41 mathematical assessments and 25 screeners evaluated for psychometric properties in children aged 0–8 years — related
• Only four screeners demonstrated acceptable diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing children with or at-risk of mathematical learning difficulties — related
• Only 15 of the identified measurement tools met common acceptability thresholds for more than two areas of psychometric evidence — a broader claim this one bears on
• Concurrent validity evidence is sparse: only 11 assessments and one screener aligned with other validated measurement tools — related
