Quy trình xây dựng bộ công cụ đánh giá năng lực nghe hiểu lời nói và năng lực sử dụng lời nói của trẻ 12–36 tháng tuổi

Tóm tắt

Assessing speech comprehension and speech production competencies is crucial for monitoring the language development of children aged 12-36 months and for helping teachers design appropriate educational activities. However, existing tools do not fully meet the requirements for assessing these two abilities in this age group in Vietnam. This study outlines the development process for an assessment toolkit covering speech comprehension and speech production in children aged 12-36 months. The process involved defining objectives and measurable indicators, developing assessment items, soliciting expert opinions, conducting pilot and field tests, and analyzing reliability and validity to refine and finalize the toolkit. The toolkit comprises 24 items for assessing speech comprehension and 24 items for assessing speech production, distributed across eight age stages at three-month intervals. Empirical results indicate that the toolkit items meet reliability and validity standards, making them suitable for assessing speech comprehension and production in children aged 12-36 months. Developed through a process combining theoretical foundations, expert input, and empirical data, the toolkit serves as a valuable resource for assessing language development in this age group. Nevertheless, assessment results should be used in conjunction with direct observation and other relevant information about the child; further implementation across a wider range of locations is necessary to validate and refine the toolkit.
