Evaluation Methods and Procedures In a Therapeutic Nursery Program.
Barker, William F.
Four areas of evaluation will be briefly discussed: 1) those areas of functioning which should be assessed, 2) instruments which were used in each area, 3) knowledge of instruments, 4) preliminary results for each instrument. The areas related to the preschool child which should be evaluated consist of: 1) the child's cognitive functioning, 2) the child's emotional functioning, 3) the child's relationship with classroom peers, 4) the child's relationship with classroom adults, primarily the teacher, 5) the child's relationship with his family and 6) the child's relationship with his general community. The overall results from the various instruments would seem to indicate that: 1) the program does seem to induce change in a favorable direction in the children, and that: 2) the various instruments are working in a self consistant manner. For example, items on the Psychiatric Behavior Scale correlate nicely and in the expected direction with factor scores from the Kohn Sympton Checklist. (Author/MLP)
