Assessment To
examine the effect of my intervention, I applied the triangulation of
assessment theory. I asked my
subjects about their experiences with the transactional strategies
instruction through a survey. Also, my research colleague and I made
observations and recorded those observations on a researcher-developed
checklist. I analyzed the subjects’ responses by examining the products for
the TSI reading comprehension areas of prediction, questioning,
visualization, and summarization. Validity The
triangulation of assessment theory was a valid measure of the effects of my
intervention on my students. First, I obtained permanent products from the
responses to the TSI intervention from my students. Second, an associate and I completed an
observational checklist. Third, my students completed a survey on their
reactions to transactional strategies instruction. The TSI guide sheet and
response journal were long-lasting products and did not have to be analyzed
immediately. Given additional time for evaluation, I feel my research would
be accurate and reliable. Analyzing
Data The
data obtained from the multiple-baseline-across-behaviors design was analyzed
by focusing on the baseline responses and the responses from the
transactional strategies instruction intervention. I evaluated the
relationship of the independent and dependent variables to explore the
changes in my subjects. The data showed my students developed an ownership of
TSI, and used these strategies to help them understand the text. The data
from each area of transactional strategies instruction was graphed. |
