Psycho-educational assessment provides estimates of the client’s intellectual, or cognitive, abilities and educational achievement levels. It also yields recommendations relevant for educational planning. Sources of assessment data include background information, educational history, and records and data from tests of intelligence and educational achievement and, at times, ratings tests of attention, behavior/emotions, and adaptive behavior.
Psycho-educational assessment is designed to answer these questions: Does the client have a learning disability(ies)? Mental retardation?
Attentional problems? What are the client’s academic and cognitive abilities, strengths, and weaknesses? What are appropriate educational recommendations? Accommodations? While learning, not emotional problems, is the focus of psycho-educational assessment, behavior/emotional and medical issues may need to be addressed in psycho-educational assessment. Compiling, integrating, and analyzing all assessment data yield educational and other relevant recommendations.
Tiba Tunazotoa Tathmini ya Psycho-elimu hutoa makadirio ya uwezo wa akili, au utambuzi, wa mteja na viwango vya mafanikio ya elimu. Pia hutoa mapendekezo yanayohusiana na mipango ya elimu. Vyanzo vya data ya tathmini ni pamoja na habari ya msingi, historia ya elimu, na rekodi na data kutoka kwa vipimo vya akili na mafanikio ya elimu, na wakati mwingine vipimo vya tahadhari, tabia, hisia, na tabia ya kubadilika. Tathmini ya kisaikolojia-elimu imeundwa kujibu maswali haya: Je, mteja ana ulemavu wa kujifunza? Ulemavu wa akili? Matatizo ya kukazia fikira? Ni nini uwezo wa kitaaluma na utambuzi wa mteja, nguvu, na udhaifu? Ni mapendekezo gani yanayofaa kuhusu elimu? Makao ya kulala? Wakati kujifunza, si matatizo ya kihisia, ni lengo la tathmini ya kisaikolojia-elimu, tabia, hisia na masuala ya matibabu inaweza kuhitaji kushughulikiwa katika tathmini ya kisaikolojia-elimu. Kukusanya, kuunganisha, na kuchambua data zote za tathmini hutoa mapendekezo ya elimu na mengine yanayohusiana.
