Abstract

This study aimed to develop a Persian Reading Comprehension Test (PRCT) and establish its psychometric properties in Persian-speaking students from fourth to sixth grades. 36 texts and 150 questions were created for the PRCT. The texts and questions were reviewed by 11 experts to ensure content validity. Then, the remaining texts and questions were tested on 5 students in Tehran schools to assess face validity. After this, the test's difficulty and discrimination indexes were determined on 30 students. Finally, 12 texts and 40 questions were selected for the test. PRCT was conducted on 295 students with normal reading skills and 16 students with suspected reading disorders (SRD) to evaluate psychometric properties. The results indicated a significant difference in scores of the PRCT across all three educational levels. There was a significant difference between students with normal reading skills and those with SRD (U = 61.5, p < .001, r = .373). The correlation between the total score of the PRCT and the text comprehension subtest of the NEMA was calculated (r = .424, p = .039). The test-retest reliability and Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the PRCT were 0.888 and 0.828, respectively. It appears that the PRCT is a standard test with suitable psychometric properties for evaluating reading comprehension.

开发波斯语阅读理解测试并确定其心理测量特性。

本研究旨在开发一种波斯语阅读理解测试（PRCT），并确定其在波斯语四至六年级学生中的心理测量特性。为 PRCT 设计了 36 篇课文和 150 道题目。这些课文和问题由 11 位专家审阅，以确保内容的有效性。然后，其余的课文和问题在德黑兰学校的 5 名学生中进行了测试，以评估表面效度。之后，在 30 名学生中确定了测试的难度和区分度指数。最后，选出了 12 篇课文和 40 道试题。对 295 名阅读能力正常的学生和 16 名疑似阅读障碍（SRD）学生进行了 PRCT 测试，以评估心理测量学特性。结果表明，PRCT 在三个教育水平的学生中得分差异显著。阅读能力正常的学生与患有 SRD 的学生之间存在明显差异（U = 61.5，p r = .373）。经计算，PRCT 总分与 NEMA 文本理解分测验之间存在相关性（r = .424，p = .039）。PRCT 的重测信度和 Cronbach's alpha 系数分别为 0.888 和 0.828。由此看来，PRCT 是一个标准测验，在评价阅读理解能力方面具有合适的心理测量特性。

期刊介绍： Applied Neuropsychology: Child publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in children. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of child patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees.
