ABSTRACT

[Purpose] This study suggests psychometric adequacy of NISE-K·ABS for Primary and Secondary School Students. The study analyzed item difficulty, item discrimination, construct related validity, concurrent related validity about NISE-K·ABS. [Method] The target population for the study were 5,633 children with the age distribution of 7 to 18. Through extensive literature and existing adaptive tests with feedback from teachers and experts, 3 scales were developed: (a) conceptual skills 46 items, (b) social skills 46 items, (c) practical skills 77 items. [Results] Explorations of item discrimination yielded evidence of content validity. The results of split-half reliability and internal consistency reliability demonstrates strong stability. Exploratory factor analysis of subscale variables produced two factors solution. Structural Equation Modeling was used for confirmatory factor analysis. Three factors model was more fitted than the latter. [Conclusion] Therefore, reliability and validity of this scale are considered as satisfactory. Instructional suggestions are provided for test users.
