Reading Progress Monitoring for Secondary‐School Students: Reliability,Validity, and Sensitivity to Growth of Reading‐Aloud and Maze‐Selection Measures

The validity and reliability of curriculum‐based measures in reading as indicators of performance and progress for secondary‐school students were examined. Thirty‐five grade 8 students completed reading aloud and maze‐selection measures weekly for 10 weeks. Criterion measures were the state standards test in reading and the Woodcock–Johnson III Test of Achievement. Different time frames for each measure were compared. Most alternate‐form reliability coefficients were above .80. Criterion‐related validity coefficients ranged from .77 to .89. No differences related to time were found. Only maze selection reflected significant growth, with an average increase of 1.29 correct choices per week. Maze growth was related to the reading performance level and to change on the Woodcock–Johnson III from pre‐ to posttest.     

对我国运动员进行心理表象训练新程序的理论探讨

表象训练是体育运动实践中运用最广泛的训练方法之一。我国在此领域远远落后于日本，其主要因素包括表象训练的方法、个体差异和情境因素：日本新近开发的心理表象训练程序(简称MITP)，几经实践运用，不仅训练效果良好而且在运动训练和比赛心理的理论方面产生了积极的影响，检验了有关表象训练的理论问题，认为动觉表象、视觉表象和想象表象有机结合是提高心理训练效果的良好途径；对MITP作一些理论探讨，目的在于为我国体育运动心理学理论建设提供一点参考。
