웹 기반 부모보고형 언어-정서 선별검사의 신뢰도 및 타당도 예비연구

Abstract

This study investigated the language development assessed by the Web-based Parent Screening of Language and Emotion (PSLE), a parent-reported screening test that is available online. The PSLE is designed to evaluate the language development of children in diverse linguistic and cultural environments and identify risk groups. The research aimed to validate the reliability of the test questions across different age groups and domains, as well as to establish correlations with traditional standardized language evaluations. A total of 24 children in the age range of three to nine years and their parents participated in the study. All participants completed the PSLE language assessment along with the receptive and expressive vocabulary test (REVT), and the Korean Brief Parent Report (KBPR). The analysis revealed a high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α over 0.8) across all five areas of the PSLE language assessment. Strong correlations were found between the PSLE total score and vocabulary scores, as well as between the PSLE current age stage score and the KBPR total score, behavioral patterns, and activity preferences. This study affirms both the reliability and validity of the PSLE as a web-based screening tool for language and emotion suggesting its potential utility in identifying children’s language development characteristics in clinical settings and education.
