Abstract: (461 Views)
Background: Cognitive assessment is a process that measures mental ability and cognitive performance, and with its help, it is possible to identify strengths and weaknesses, evaluate progress, identify students with special needs, and provide feedback to students. The short Persian computer version is one of the most important reasons for conducting this research.
Aims: The purpose of this research is to develop and examine the psychometric features of a short computerized cognitive assessment scale for students.
Methods: The current research was done with a descriptive-survey method and using a validation test. The community consisted of first year high school students in Tehran. The research sample was 300 first grade high school students who were randomly selected in a cluster. The methods of linear factor analysis, internal consistency, criterion validity and Pearson correlation were used. SPSS-26 software was also used for data analysis.
Results: The findings obtained from the nonlinear factor analysis with NOHARM software showed that cognitive components consist of five factors: knowledge, fluid reasoning, working memory, visuospatial processing, and quantitative memory. The results of KR20 confirmed the overall homogeneity in the three age groups of 13 to 15. In order to check the validity of the test, the criterion validity method was used simultaneously using the Pearson correlation coefficient, which showed a high correlation coefficient of 0.58 in each age category (P<0.01). In order to check the validity of the test, the content validity method was used using experts' opinions, and the value was 0.79. The reliability coefficient of the whole test in all three age groups was between 0.73 and 0.80.
Conclusion: According to the findings, the researcher's tool for cognitive assessment among the students of the first secondary level has acceptable psychometric properties and can be used for the students of this course.
