Okulöncesi Geçiş Becerilerini Değerlendirme Ölçeği’nin Geliştirilmesi: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışmaları

Bu çalışmanın amacı, gelişimsel geriliği olan ve olmayan okulöncesi dönemdeki 3–6 yaş çocuklarının geçiş becerilerini değerlendirmek için gereksinim duyulan geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçeğin geliştirilmesidir. Okulöncesi Geçiş Becerilerini Değerlendirme Ölçeği (OGBDÖ) geliştirilirken alan yazın incelemesi, okulöncesi programların yöneticileri ve öğretmenleriyle görüşmeler, okulöncesi programlarda yapılan video kayıtlarının analizi çalışmaları yapılmıştır. 12 okulöncesi kurumda çalışan 35 öğretmen, 21 gelişimsel geriliği olan ve 277 gelişimsel geriliği olmayan çocuğu OGBDÖ’ni kullanarak değerlendirmiştir. OGBDÖ’nin geçerliği incelenirken faktör analizi, madde analizi ve ölçüt geçerliği çalışmaları yapılmıştır. OGDBÖ’nin güvenirliği incelenirken ise, iç tutarlık katsayısı, test-tekrar test korelasyonu ve değerlendirmeciler arası tutarlık çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar OGBDÖ’nin geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğunu göstermiştir.

Preschool Transition Skills Assessment Scale: Its Development, Validity and Reliability Studies

The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale that is considered necessary for assessment of transition skills acquired by preschool children with and without developmental delays. At development stage of the PTSAS, a scale has been prepared by reviewing the related literature, interviewing with administrators and teachers of preschool programs, analyzing studies of videotape recordings of preschool programs. Thirty-five teachers have assessed 21 and 277 children with and without development delays. For the validity of the PTSAS, construct validity, item analysis, and criterion validity have been performed. For the reliability of the PTSAS, internal consistency of scale, interobserver consistency, and test–retest reliability have been checked. The result showed that PTSAS is a valid and reliable instrument
