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.

Özet

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.
