Adaptive Assessment • Item difficulty of assessment items is determined in terms of age equivalence • First assessment item is determined by the age of the child minus 2 years • Subsequent assessment items are dependent on the child’s responses
ePIPS Assessment Available for P3, P5 and P7
ePIPS • For children aged 5 to 11 • Adaptive • Modular • Pupils operate their own computer • Can be sat by a whole class at once • Assessment once a year • Assessment at a set time of the year • Feedback available within 3 weeks
What is in the assessment? • Reading • - Word recognition, decoding, comprehension • Maths • Number 1, number 2, measures shapes and space, data handling • Developed Ability • - Picture vocabulary, non verbal ability, attitudes
Reading • Word Recognition – Select the word spoken from a choice of five high or medium frequency words on the screen. • Word Decoding- Select the word spoken from a choice of five nonsense or unfamiliar words on the screen. Understanding of the way the English language works e.g. the sound ‘gh’ makes. • Comprehension– The pupil reads through a passage and, when given a choice of three words, must select the word that fits into the sentence most appropriately.
Maths • Numbers 1 – covers counting, informal arithmetic, partitioning and place value, fractions or decimals. • Numbers 2 – sorting, patterns, formal arithmetic, problem solving and algebra. • Measures, Shape and Space – covers naming and describing common 2d and 3d shapes and their mathematical features. • Data – interpreting charts, tables and lists of data.
Developed Ability • Picture Vocabulary – The pupil hears a word and selects the picture that best represents that word from a choice of five pictures on the screen. • Non-verbal ability – A pattern appears on the left hand side of the screen and the pupil must then find the corresponding pattern within a larger pattern on the right hand side of the screen. The pattern may have been translated in position but will not have been rotated or reflected. • Attitudes towards School, Reading and Maths.
Session timings • Reading (20 - 25 minutes) • General Maths(20 - 25 minutes) • Developed Ability(20 - 25 minutes)
Mean of 50 ePIPS Scores Table Prior is the previous Pips score. An established measure of ability. Context score is a weighted average of the picture vocab and non verbal ability scores giving an independent measure of a child's ability
