Needs Assessment I Summary

The significance of assessing the needs of children who have been addicted to video games in developing and implementing effective intervention cannot be refuted. It is from the needs assessment that an effective action plan for addressing the identified needs can be developed. Video game addiction is indeed dangerous to students. Spending more time on playing video games is severely disruptive to work, school, and real-life social contacts.

The primary objective of this paper is to develop an effective intervention plan for curbing addiction to video games. Using the IGD-20 test questionnaire as the prime needs assessment instrument, it was possible to ascertain the symptoms and behavior exhibited by the child after becoming addicted to video games. These behaviors and symptoms inform the development of a highly effective intervention plan for reducing addiction to video games. As evident, the reason for choosing the stated instrument rests on its reliability and validity.

The following represents the IGD-20 test questionnaire instrument used for data collection on the issue that the investigator is trying to resolve, which in this case concerns addiction to video gaming.

Needs Assessment I Summary

Considering the unique background of every learner, it is imperative to conduct a needs assessment to ascertain the unique needs of learners and to tailor instructions in a way that addresses such unique needs in an individualized way.

There are different assessment tools for assessing reading fluency and comprehension. Each of these tools geared to assess specific literacy areas. Despite the existence of many assessment instruments for reading fluency and comprehension, the one used in this case was Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM). The choice of this assessment instrument rests on its ability to assess learner’s needs with regards to word-identification, letter sound, and fluency in passage reading, which is the focus of the study at hand. Graney et al. (2010) have described CBM as an extremely critical instrument in measuring reading skills among students.

The rationale of action research is to develop a proactive intervention, method, or strategy for addressing the challenges that learners could be facing.
