Abstract

Likert türü ölçeklerde tepki kategorileri arasındaki psikometrik uzaklığın eşit olması önemli bir varsayımdır. Bu çalışmada Davranış ve Duyguları Değerlendirme Ölçeği-2 (BERS-2)’nin Öğretmen Değerlendirme ve Ebeveyn Değerlendirme Formunun kategoriler arası psikometrik uzaklık varsayımını sağlayıp sağlamadığı incelenmiştir. Çalışma grubunu Yozgat ilinde anasınıfı bulunan ilkokullar ile bağımsız resmi ve özel okulöncesi eğitim kurumlarına devam eden beş yaşındaki çocukların anneleri (n=346) ve öğretmenleri (n=22) oluşturmuştur. Öğretmen Değerlendirme ve Ebeveyn Değerlendirme Formunun beş alt ölçek için kategori değerleri genelleştirilmiş kısmi puanlama modeline göre kestirilmiştir. Her bir alt ölçeğin kategori değerlerinden yararlanılarak ölçek ve dönüştürülmüş ölçek değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular alt ölçeklerin, kategoriler arası psikometrik uzaklık varsayımını sağladığını göstermektedir.

Abstract

The
most important assumption of likert scale is that the psychometric distances between
categories is equal. In this study, Teacher Assessment Form and Parents
Assessment Form of Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale-2 (BERS-2) was
investigated in terms of psychometric distances between categories. The study
group composed of five-year-old children attending to nursery classes of
primary schools and independent official and private preschools in Yozgat
together with the parents of those children (n=346) and their teachers (n=22).
The estimates of scale values were obtained based on the category parameter by
the generalized partial credit model. Scale values and converted scale values
were calculated. As a result, both Teacher Assessment Form and Parents
Assessment Form provided assumption of psychometric distance between
categories.
