Validity and ReliabIlity Study of Preschool Visual Motor Integration Assessment Tool
Öz
The aim of this reseach is to make the validity and reliability study of Preschool Visual
Motor Integration Assessment Tool. Research was carried out in, state preschools located in
the district of Ankara city center and total of 290 children get involved to the study through
individual application process. General Information Form and Preschool Visual Motor
Integration Assessment tool is used to obtain data drunig the research. General Information
Form prepared by the researchers for the purpose of obtaining information about children with normal development and Preschool Visual Motor Integration Assessment toolwhich is
developed by Deitchman ve Puttkammer (2001) to ases children’s visual motor skills in this
research. During the research process content validity and construct validity is done within
the scope of validity study and test-retest reliability, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and interrater
reliability with in the scope of reliability. Analysis demonstrated assessment tool is valid
after construct validity, content validity and criterion validity. Cronbach’s alpha reliability
coefficient was 0.85 for the entire scope of the test. Statistically there were no significant
differences between the test-retest for that reason reliability is also provided. At end of the
study Preschool Visual Motor Integration Assessment tool found to be valid and reliable. This
results indicates that Pre-School Visual Motor Integration Assessment Tool is valid and reliable
instrument to assses visual motor integration skills of children.
