Assessment of praxis using valid and reliable measures is important for understanding factors affecting occupational participation.
To evaluate evidence of construct validity and internal reliability of data gathered with four newly developed praxis tests.
Comparative descriptive design.
Homes, schools, and therapy practices across the United States.
A control group consisting of 163 children without any concerns or diagnoses and a case group of 145 children with sensory integration difficulties, ages 3 to 12 yr.
Rasch analyses to evaluate construct validity, and Student's t tests to evaluate group differences.
Total test scores and most item scores conformed to Rasch model expectations. Group differences were significant; the control group scored higher. Internal reliability was strong.
Findings support the validity and internal reliability of the four praxis tests. What This Article Adds: This study adds to the growing body of evidence for validity and reliability of the Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration® tests.
使用有效且可靠的方法评估实践能力对于理解影响职业参与的因素很重要。
评估四项新开发的实践测试收集的数据的结构效度和内部信度的证据。
比较描述性设计。
美国各地的家庭、学校和治疗场所。
一个对照组由 163 名没有任何问题或诊断的儿童组成，一个病例组由 145 名有感觉统合困难的儿童组成，年龄 3 至 12 岁。
Rasch 分析评估结构效度，学生 t 检验评估组间差异。
总测试分数和大多数项目分数符合 Rasch 模型的预期。组间差异显著；对照组得分较高。内部可靠性很强。
研究结果支持四项实践测试的有效性和内部信度。这篇文章的重要性在于：它为 Ayres 感觉统合®测试的评估的有效性和可靠性提供了越来越多的证据。
