Abstract
This article describes the development and administration of the Kindergarten-Second Grade (K-2) Writing Data-Based Decision Making (DBDM) Survey. The K-2 Writing DBDM Survey was developed to learn more about current DBDM practices specific to early writing. A total of 376 educational professionals (175 general education classroom teachers, 42 special education teachers, 118 speech-language pathologists, and 41 specialists (e.g., interventionists, coaches, educators supporting emergent bilinguals) who work with kindergarten, first, and/or second grade students in school settings in the United States participated in this survey study. Results include participant responses to 32 closed-ended items and 2 open-ended items covering five domains: (a) demographic information; (b) assessment(s) types, (c) administration procedures, (d) scoring procedures, and (e) information gathered. Descriptive and regression analyses were applied to summarize the survey results. Findings from this survey indicated that even with limited or no guidance, some educators within all groups of professionals surveyed are assessing students. However, ongoing improvements need to be made to prioritize writing upon school entry. These results remind us of the importance of partnership with educators to ensure accurate understanding of resources available for assessment, current areas of need, and how implementation can feasibly occur in the practice setting when developing and studying approaches to assessment.
期刊介绍：
Reading and writing skills are fundamental to literacy. Consequently, the processes involved in reading and writing and the failure to acquire these skills, as well as the loss of once well-developed reading and writing abilities have been the targets of intense research activity involving professionals from a variety of disciplines, such as neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics and education. The findings that have emanated from this research are most often written up in a lingua that is specific to the particular discipline involved, and are published in specialized journals. This generally leaves the expert in one area almost totally unaware of what may be taking place in any area other than their own. Reading and Writing cuts through this fog of jargon, breaking down the artificial boundaries between disciplines. The journal focuses on the interaction among various fields, such as linguistics, information processing, neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, speech and hearing science and education. Reading and Writing publishes high-quality, scientific articles pertaining to the processes, acquisition, and loss of reading and writing skills. The journal fully represents the necessarily interdisciplinary nature of research in the field, focusing on the interaction among various disciplines, such as linguistics, information processing, neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, speech and hearing science and education. Coverage in Reading and Writing includes models of reading, writing and spelling at all age levels; orthography and its relation to reading and writing; computer literacy; cross-cultural studies; and developmental and acquired disorders of reading and writing. It publishes research articles, critical reviews, theoretical papers, and case studies. Reading and Writing is one of the most highly cited journals in Education, Educational Research, and Educational Psychology.
