Validity of General Outcome Measures for Predicting Secondary Students' Performance on Content-Area Tasks.
Espin, Christine A.; Foegen, Anne
Exceptional Children, v62 n6 p497-514 May 1996
This study investigated the validity of 3 curriculum-based measures for predicting the performance of 184 secondary students (including 13 with mild disabilities) on content-area tasks. Reliable correlations were found between oral reading, maze, and vocabulary measures; and students' performance on comprehension, acquisition, and retention of content-area material, with the vocabulary measure the most efficient predictor.
