Abstract Details

2004, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Physical Activity and Educational Services.
The present study was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 involved the development of ability/achievement normative taxonomies for reading and mathematics using the multivariate techniques of cluster analysis. The core profiles that emerged provide important comparisons for evaluating individual profiles, as well as add to the information explaining common variability in the child population. The taxonomies were based upon 711 children in the 8 to 17 year old portion of the standardization sample of the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS) who were co-administered the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement –Revised (WJ-R ACH). Ability/reading and ability/math normative taxonomies were developed from the Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive scales of the CAS in conjunction with four reading and three math WJ-R ACH subscales. Eight reading and five math clusters were identified and described using demographics and overall ability and achievement levels. In Phase 2, the prevalence of students with low reading and math achievement in each cluster was examined. Ramifications for intervention planning are discussed.
