Психометрические свойства русскоязычной версии «Языковых шкал для дошкольников» пятого пересмотра (PLS-5): исследование с помощью классической теории тестов и современной теории тестирования

Трудности в развитии языка и речи являются частыми признаками различных расстройств развития нервной системы. Ранняя диагностика является решающим фактором для правильного выбора лечения на ранних этапах и улучшения прогноза. В настоящее время в России наблюдается острая нехватка стандартизированных инструментов для диагностики потенциальных языковых нарушений. Чтобы устранить этот пробел, мы проанализировали психометрические свойства русской версии Языковых шкал для дошкольников 5-го издания (RPLS-5). Выборка включала 473 ребенка в возрасте от 3 до 96 месяцев (М=32,64, SD=19,79), в том числе 224 типично развивающихся ребенка и 240 детей из группы риска. Для оценки надежности русской версии PLS-5 мы использовали как классическую теорию тестов (CTT), так и современную теорию тестирования (IRT). Результаты показали высокую надежность RPLS-5 на основе обоих типов анализов. Согласно результатам анализа IRT, сложность заданий варьировалась от очень простых до очень сложных, и за редким исключением параметры сложности последовательно увеличивались для каждого последующего задания, отражая иерархическую организацию теста. Параметры дискриминативности варьировались от высоких до очень высоких. В целом, IRT-анализ продемонстрировал, что шкалы RPLS-5 надежны для оценки языковых способностей детей.
