Description¶
A standardized achievement subtest measuring applied mathematical problem-solving and early numeracy, developed and published as part of the Woodcock-Johnson assessment system by Riverside Insights.
Components¶
- Woodcock-Johnson Applied Problems subtest administered in the NICHD SECCYD (n = 1,364): The study's measurement instrument and data source: the "Applied Problems subtest of the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement" administered to "1,364 children from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Study of Early Childcare and Youth Development (SECCYD)". This dataset and subtest provide the longitudinal basis for measuring early numeracy mastery at 54 months and linking it to later educational outcomes. (Pamela Davis-Kean et al. (2021))
Claims¶
- Studies relying exclusively on the Applied Problems subtest are likely to miss small but meaningful influences on early math achievement because the measure is less sensitive to variation among young children [+W]
- Quality of the kindergarten teacher–child relationship moderates the preschool-to-kindergarten development of math ability on the ECLS-K Math battery but not the Applied Problems subtest [+W]
- Preschool math ability significantly predicts kindergarten math ability on both the ECLS-K Math battery and the Applied Problems subtest [+W]
