Configuring KTEA-3 Reports

The KTEA-3 has three reports: Standard, Parent, and Growth Scale Value (GSV) Charts.

 

KTEA-3 Standard Report

The KTEA-3 Standard Report contains demographic, composite score, and subtest score information, as well as error analysis scores, teaching objectives and interventions, a Qualitative Observations table, CHC ability scores, Ability-Achievement Discrepancy analysis, and a Pattern of Strengths & Weaknesses model. All report information is optional.

 

The choices under Configurations allow the user to select the options and settings for the Standard Report. Below are applicable report options.

 

Option

Description

Include

Examinee name

If selected, the student's name will be included throughout the report.

Score summary table

If selected, the score summary table will appear in the report. This table includes both composite level and subtest level score information.

 

The first table provides core composite scores and the second table provides supplemental composite scores.

 

Summary table last column

 

Choose the option of the value to print in the last column of the score tables in the report. Choose from GSV, NCE, Stanine, or All Age/Grade equivalents.

Graphical profile

Error analysis summary

If selected, the error analysis narrative and applicable error analysis summary tables will be included in the report.

Error analysis teaching objectives and intervention statements

If selected, teaching objectives and interventions by subtest and error category will be included in the report. The Teaching Objectives and Interventions subtest sections print only if the examinee has a normative weakness in a particular error category.

Error analysis word list

If selected, a word list displayed by error category will be included in the report. Word list displays only if the examinee has a normative weakness in a particular error category and applies only to the Letter Word Recognition (LWR), Nonsense Word Decoding (NWD), and Spelling (SP) subtests.

Error analysis math problems list

If selected, a math problems list displayed by error category, followed by the math problems answer key, will be included in the report. Math problems list displays only if the examinee has a normative weakness in a particular error category and applies only to the Math Computation (MC) subtest.

CHC Abilities Score Report

If selected, Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) Abilities Score Report information will be included in the report. Both a KTEA-3 and a WISC-V assessment administration must be selected prior to generating the report. You must have previously generated a KTEA-3 Standard Report in order to include this option.

Settings

Confidence level

The user-selected confidence interval (85%, 90% or 95%).

Norm group

If Age is selected, all scores presented in the report will be based on age norms. If Grade is selected, all scores presented in the report will be based on grade norms for the season in which the assessment was administered.

 

AAD and PSW report options are only available when the Age norm group is selected.

Descriptive categories scale

If 10-point is chosen, the descriptive categories will be based on the following scale:

130-160           Very high

120-129           High

110-119           Above average

90-109             Average

80-89               Below average

70-79               Low

40-69               Very low

 

If 15-point is chosen, the descriptive categories will be based on the following scale:

146-160           Very high

131-145           High

116-130           Above average

85-115             Average

70-84               Below average

55-69               Low

40-54               Very low

Significance level

The user-selected significance level (0.01 or 0.05).

Additional Options

Composite standard score differences

Expand the Composite standard score differences panel and check the Include with report option to include composite standard score differences on the report. You may choose up to 15 custom composite comparisons.

Subtest standard score differences

Expand the Subtest standard score differences panel and check the Include with report option to include subtest standard score differences on the report. You may choose up to 30 custom subtest comparisons.

Ability-achievement discrepancy analysis

The Ability-achievement discrepancy analysis (AAD) option is available when age-based norms are selected. AAD settings are displayed when the Include with report option is selected. If selected, all AAD fields must be filled in before a report can be generated.

Manual Mode: When a single KTEA-3 assessment record is selected for report generation, the AAD interface runs in “manual” mode. In this mode, the ability fields must be manually entered.

Assessment Details: Select the assessment to be used for AAD analysis and specify the scale and score.

Settings: Select AAD analysis method (predicted or simple) and significance level (0.01 or 0.05) to be used for AAD analysis.

Automatic Mode: When one KTEA-3 assessment is selected along with one of the applicable ability assessments for the same examinee, the AAD interface runs in “automatic” mode. In this mode, the ability assessment is pre-populated based on the selected assessment record and the ability score is pre-populated based on the user-selected ability scale.

Assessment Details: Specify the scale to be used for AAD analysis. The score will be automatically populated from the administration you selected along with the KTEA-3 to generate the report.

Settings: Select AAD analysis method (predicted or simple) and significance level (0.01 or 0.05) to be used for AAD analysis.

DAS-II, DAS-II NU, KABC-II, KABC-II NU, WISC-V, and the WISC-V Integrated can be selected as ability test options.

IMPORTANT NOTE Manual Mode ONLY: If the KABC-II was administered prior to March 25, 2018, the KABC-II form should be selected from the Ability test options. If the KABC-II was administered on or after March 25, 2018, then choose the KABC-II NU from the Ability test options.

Pattern of strengths and weaknesses model

The pattern of strengths and weaknesses discrepancy analysis (PSW) option is available when age-based norms are selected. PSW settings are displayed when the Include with report option is selected. If selected, all PSW fields must be filled in before a report can be generated. The PSW table and profile will be included in the report.

Manual Mode: When a single KTEA-3 assessment record is selected for report generation, the PSW interface runs in “manual” mode. In this mode, the ability and achievement fields must be manually entered.

Ability

Assessment Details: Select the ability assessment and specify the age at administration for the assessment.

Settings: Select the strength and weakness scales and fill in applicable scores.

Achievement

Assessment Details: Details for the KTEA-3 assessment are displayed.

Settings: Select weakness scale and significance level (0.01 or 0.05) to be used for PSW analysis. The weakness score for the selected scale is filled in automatically.

Note: The Associational Fluency, Object Naming Facility, and Letter Naming Facility subtests cannot be selected as an Achievement Weakness in the Pattern of Strengths & Weaknesses model.

Automatic Mode: When one KTEA-3 assessment is selected along with one of the applicable ability assessments for the same examinee, the PSW interface runs in “automatic” mode. In this mode, the assessment and scores are filled in automatically for the user-selected ability strength and ability weakness.

DAS-II, DAS-II NU, KABC-II, KABC-II NU, WISC-V, and the WISC-V Integrated can be selected as ability tests.

IMPORTANT NOTE Manual Mode ONLY: If the KABC-II was administered prior to March 25, 2018, the KABC-II form should be selected from the Ability test options. If the KABC-II was administered on or after March 25, 2018, then choose the KABC-II NU from the Ability test options.

Note: Use of a score above 85 as a weakness may not be accepted in all settings.
