Description¶
SERDA is a tablet-based speech-recognition assessment developed by van der Velde et al. for measuring Dutch primary-school children's oral word and passage reading accuracy, speed, and fluency.
Components¶
- SERDA: Speech Enabled Reading Diagnostics App for Dutch oral reading fluency: SERDA is a Dutch oral reading fluency assessment instrument for primary school, administering word decoding (150 words in three 50-word subtasks with progressive demasking) and passage reading tasks on a tablet while recording children's speech. The article states that "Through the incorporation of speech recognition, speech-based diagnostics, and their conversion into didactic suggestions for practitioners, SERDA allows for the provision of individualized feedback on children's oral word and passage reading performance". It extracts item-, subtask- and person-level accuracy, speed and WCPM measures and derives LNIRT ability and speed estimates, with short administration duration and automatic scoring intended to reduce testing burden. (van der Velde et al. (2025))
Claims¶
- ASR-based item-level accuracy scores show moderate agreement with human raters in a Dutch word decoding and passage reading task [+W]
- Reliability of the ASR-based word decoding and passage reading accuracy and speed measures is excellent, ranging from 0.96 to 1 [+W]
- SERDA-derived scores classify children into DMT and AVI proficiency classes with moderate to good accuracy and items discriminate moderately well or better [+W]
