 Characteristics of good measuring instrument:     

RELIBILITY

RELIBILITY - is the consistency of your measurement, or the degree to which an instrument measures the same way each time it is used under the same condition with the same subjects. In short, it is the repeatability of your measurement. A measure is considered reliable if a person's score on the same test given twice is similar. It is important to remember that reliability is not measured, it is estimated. A good instrument will produce consistent scores. An instrument’s reliability is estimated using a correlation coefficient of one type or another.

VALIDITY

VALIDITY - Validity is the extent to which a test measures what it claims to measure. It is vital for a test to be valid in order for the results to be accurately applied and interpreted. Validity isn’t determined by a single statistic, but by a body of research that demonstrates the relationship between the test and the behavior it is intended to measure. There are three types of validity: It is the strength of our conclusions, inferences or propositions. More formally, Cook and Campbell (1979) define it as the "best available approximation to the truth or falsity of a given inference, proposition or conclusion." 

PRACTICIBILITY

PRACTICIBILITY - It should be feasible & usable. Quality of being usable in context to the objective to be achieved.

USABILITY

USABILITY(practicality) ease in administration, scoring, interpretation and application, low cost, proper mechanical make – up

MEASUREABILITY

MEASUREABILITY - It should measure the objective to be achieved.

Teaching Children with Learning Disabilities

Teaching Children with Learning Disabilities Teaching learners with disabilities is a daunting task for educators. Teachers must begin with understanding the different types of disabilities. Some children have trouble in reading properly (dyslexia), other children have trouble in math reasoning (dyscalculia), while others are unable to identify and use correct language structure (dysgraphia). Other learning disabilities include inability to see and hear.  All these disabilities present learners with difficulties in reading, calculating, speech, and interpersonal skills. Learners with learning disabilities have problem in organizing time and are thus unable to finish their work at the same rate with learners with no learning disabilities. If the teacher is fast, learners with disability will absorb and retain very little information.  Their comprehension and retrieval of information is low and teachers have to devise and employ appropriate strategies.

Inclusive education can promote successful learning

 Inclusive education can  promote successful learning in the following ways- 1. Children develop a positive understanding of themselves and others. When children attend classes that reflect the similarities and differences of people in the real world, they learn to appreciate diversity. Respect and understanding grow when children of differing abilities and cultures play and learn together. 2. Friendships develop. Schools are important places for children to develop friendships and learn social skills. Children with and without disabilities learn with and from each other in inclusive classes. 3. Children learn important academic skills. In inclusive classrooms, children with and without disabilities are expected to learn to read, write and do math. With higher expectations and good instruction children with disabilities learn academic skills. 4. All children learn by being together.
