Procedures Using Informants Three purposes for using informants:
To provide historical perspective Summarize observations and offer
interpretation Comment on less observable concerns, such
as attitudes, values, and perceptions
![Page 12: Chapter 5 Informal Assessment.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061600/5a4d1b707f8b9ab0599b5352/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Procedures Using Informants Informant information is subjective Checklists and rating scales are
structured assessments that can be used by informants
Questionnaires and interviews elicit information from informants in writing or orally
Clinical interviews utilize student insight to discover the process used by the student to complete a task

Interpreting Informal Assessment Results Limitation may be due to lack of
information about technical adequacy Appropriate tools must be selected Quality of the behavioral sample should
be evaluated in terms of representativeness
The professional interprets performance and makes decisions
Informal assessment information can be translated into instruction

Avoiding Bias in Informal Assessment Standard of comparison should be
appropriate Cultural bias should be avoided Language should be appropriate to the
student The instrument should bypass the
limitations of the disability
