Abstract

This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Preschool Language, Literacy, and Behavior Screener (PLLB-S). We examined and tested the factor structure of the PLLB-S using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. We further conducted internal consistency, concurrent validity, and predictive validity analyses and evaluated teacher satisfaction using PLLB-S. Our factor analyses resulted in 22 items distributed among three subscales with high internal consistency: Oral language, emergent literacy, and behavior skills. The PLLB-S and its subscales correlated moderately to strongly with standardized measures. The emergent literacy of the PLLB-S was the only subscale that significantly predicted children’s later vocabulary knowledge. Preschool teachers reported high satisfaction with the content and purpose of the questionnaire. We concluded that this tool with sound psychometric properties can potentially help increase the feasibility and efficiency of implementing standardized assessments in MTSS frameworks in preschool classrooms.

学龄前儿童语言、读写能力和行为筛选者的心理测量特性
本研究调查了学龄前语言、识字和行为筛查者(PLLB-S)的心理测量特性。我们使用探索性和验证性因素分析来检验PLLB-S的因素结构。我们进一步进行了内部一致性、并发有效性和预测有效性分析,并使用PLLB-S评估了教师满意度。我们的因素分析得出了22个项目,分布在三个具有高度内部一致性的分量表中:口语、突发识字和行为技能。PLLB-S及其分量表与标准化测量有中度到强烈的相关性。PLLB-S的新兴识字能力是唯一能显著预测儿童后期词汇知识的分量表。幼儿教师对调查问卷的内容和目的表示高度满意。我们得出的结论是,这种具有良好心理测量特性的工具可能有助于提高在学前课堂MTSS框架中实施标准化评估的可行性和效率。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment (JPA) publishes contemporary and important information focusing on psychological and educational assessment research and evidence-based practices as well as assessment instrumentation. JPA is well known internationally for the quality of published assessment-related research, theory and practice papers, and book and test reviews. The methodologically sound and impiricially-based studies and critical test and book reviews will be of particular interest to all assessment specialists including practicing psychologists, psychoeducational consultants, educational diagnosticians and special educators.
