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.

关于体育课结构的重新认识

从体育课的特点出发讨论了体育课的宏观结构和微观结构。由于体育课是一个教学过程而不同训练过程，因而其宏观结构必须突出知识和技术学习的主线，其大致可分为五个阶段或者部分，即引导阶段、学习知识和技术阶段、巩固知识和技术阶段、检查评价阶段和结束阶段。此外，体育课的微观结构与课的目的、类型及教学对象特点等因素有关，故在安排每堂体育课的结构时绝不能千篇一律。
