In my last week discussion, I averred that I have a problem in appropriately working with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V). In particular, I encounter difficulties in interpreting WISC-V administration and scoring manual along with understanding the scoring and administering process. In reference to Sattler (2018) works, without proper scoring and administration process, data gathered becomes faulty hence cannot produce valid results. Proper administration, scoring and analysis yield valid and reliable outcomes.
In order to effectively administer and understanding the scoring and administration process, I am considering going for professional development by enrolling for a short course on the intelligence scale. In particular, I will concentrate on doing exercises on the administration process aimed at marshalling data from participants appropriately (Flanagan & Alfonso, 2017). Besides, I will also engage in consistent practice to understand how to use the scoring manual. Another way of learning more about the intelligence quotient measuring scale will involve learning through apprenticeship. I will work with peers who already have the requisite experience in using the tool. My peers will help me better understand the administration, scoring as well as analysis of data generated from the scale (Kaufman, Raiford & Coalson, 2015). I will also engage in further reading by sourcing resources from the library and online sources to help me gain a better comprehension of the measurement scale.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
Proper administration and scoring are imperative in establishing the true intelligence quotient of children. Therefore, a person administering the test should appropriately administer it and undertake analysis with rigor to generate valid and reliable results. The scoring will be employed to determine strengths and weaknesses of a child with regards to learning.
