摘要
Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) is a direct method of academic assessment used to screen and evaluate students' skills and monitor their responses to academic instruction and intervention. Interventioncentral.org offers a math worksheet generator at no cost that creates randomly generated math curriculum-based measures (M-CBMs). In this study, we examined the test-retest reliability and alternate-form reliability of four parallel, randomly generated M-CBMs designed to assess multiple arithmetic skills (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). The participants (N = 283 sixth-grade students) completed each M-CBM worksheet twice during a semester. According to our results, these M-CBMs have moderate test-retest and alternate-form reliability. Applying the Spearman-Brown Prophecy Formula revealed that aggregating M-CBMs increases the reliability of these measures to acceptable levels for progress monitoring (i.e., above .80).
