Reliability Testing of the Reasonable Adjustments for Inclusive Education Rating Scale
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v38 n1 p1-13 2024
School inclusion of students with disabilities relies on reasonable adjustments to curriculum and class activities. The Reasonable Adjustments for Inclusive Education (RAIE) was designed to elicit reasonable adjustments from stakeholders in mainstream school inclusion for three contrived students with varied learning needs. We evaluated a scale for rating the quality of elicited reasonable adjustments across five dimensions: Agency, Authenticity, Real Learning, Strengths Based, and Inclusion. A trial (n = 5 participants) led to refinement of the scale, which was tested for inter-rater reliability with data from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an intervention to improve the quality of reasonable adjustments. RCT participants (10 parents, 10 educators, nine allied health professionals) provided 596 reasonable adjustments, rated for each dimension by two independent raters (n = 2980 ratings). Overall agreement was 75.3%; intraclass correlation (ICC) was 0.778. ICCs were moderate-good (0.612-0.816). Further refinement and testing with multiple raters are recommended.
