Early Dyscalculia Screener (EDS)
1.0 The generations of EDS

EDS has gone through three generations of development that evolved
according to the current needs of education in the era of IR 4.0.
The 1st Generation (desktop version) was developed in 2014. The interface
was developed using Microsoft visual basic 6.0 platform with Microsoft excel
for manual data processing. The pictures below show the interface of the
screener.

The 2nd generation (Desktop full version) was developed in 2018. The interface
was developed using Microsoft visual studio and Microsoft access with overall
better interface design and data processing capability to allow distribution of the
software to other researchers. The pictures below show the interface of the
screener.

The latest version, 3rd Generation of EDS is a mobile Apps version developed
in 2022. The mobile interface design using java coding through android studio
and google firebase database for cloud data storage. The application can be
distributed with permission of usage to any mobile android devices and capable
of collecting tremendous user data for more precise data processing. The
pictures below show the interface of the screener.

EDS has gone through the extensive validity process:
1. Content validity (4 experts from Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Curriculum
Development Department (Ministry of Education) and Institute of Teacher
Education.)
2. Construct validity (discriminant and convergent validity)
3. Criterion validity (correlation with LINUS instrument)

4.0 Expert’s Comments Early Dyscalculia Screener (EDS)
The comments on EDS
(3rd generation) Given the demands of today's
educational environment, EDS is an
Lajiwin@Jovinia Kudun important and significant tool for those
Special Education Lecturer with math learning disabilities. This
Institute of Teacher Education, ongoing evolution, now in its third
generation, is especially compatible
Kent Campus with recent innovations that use
mobile apps as a platform to simplify
user access.
EDS was created on the basis of
mathematical learning theory and
concepts. As a result, EDS may be
one of the most effective tools for
identifying students with dyscalculia.
