Description:
The Learning-Related Cognitive Self-Regulation School Readiness Measures for Preschool Children Study (aka the Self-Regulation Measurement Study), was designed to develop measures of learning-related cognitive self-regulation for Pre-K children that are both 1) predictive of their achievement gains and 2) easily used in Pre-K settings (portable, do not require computer administration). Such measures are in great need for screening Pre-K children to identify those with weak cognitive self-regulation skills that put them at risk for poor academic achievement and for tracking improvements in cognitive self-regulation that result from classroom practices aimed at facilitating those skills in young children. This project consisted of two phases. The goal of Phase One was to develop a child assessment battery and parallel teacher rating instrument that best met the above criteria. The goal of Phase Two was to cross-validate the refined child assessment battery and the parallel teacher rating instrument developed in Phase One. This guide contains information on the administration and scoring for six measures of self-regulation identified in this study as being easily administered and the most predictive of achievement gains across the Pre-K year.
