Abstract
The purpose of this research is to develop the symptomatic behaviour screening tool (SymBest) for early childhood educators to identify children with symptomatic behaviours. This quantitative study is using the design & development (DDR) approach by Richey & Klien, 2007. Fundamentally this approach is going through three comprehensive phases. The phases are as follows: Phase I is Need Analysis, Phase II is Design & Development and Phase III is Usability. Participants of phase I is 434 early childhood educators (ECE) and survey design was used for data collection. In Phase II, Fuzzy Delphi analysis was conducted with 18 expert participants from diverse backgrounds of clinical and education to gain the expert consensus on the suitability of the constructs and items representing SymBest. Finally in phase III, Modified Nominal Group Technique was used to test the usability of SymBest among 21 ECE educators who are expert in the field.
