Evidências de validade e consistência interna de tarefas de analogia gramatical

Abstract

O presente estudo investigou a validade de duas tarefas de analogia gramatical, focando nos morfemas derivacionais e flexionais. Participaram da pesquisa 217 crianças de escolas públicas matriculadas no segundo, terceiro e quarto ano do ensino fundamental. As crianças responderam a uma tarefa de consciência fonológica (RAFC) e duas de consciência morfológica. Foram encontradas evidências de validade de critério, pois os escores se diferenciaram pelos anos escolares para o escore composto e para a tarefa focando na morfologia derivacional. Outra evidência de validade foi detectada quando se verificou a associação dos escores do RACF com as tarefas de consciência morfológica. O escore composto da tarefa obteve índices de consistência interna adequados, mas com carência, Alfa de Cronbach de 0,66. Enfim, os resultados mostram que o escore composto da tarefa é sensível para mensurar a habilidade morfológica das crianças.

Evaluating models of how morphological awareness connects to reading comprehension: A study in Portuguese

“…It might reflect power, which is a potential explanation given our modest sample size. Moreover, only one measure of morphological awareness was included in the study, albeit one that best discriminates similar samples (e.g., Mota, Santos, & Guimarães, 2014). And yet, this pattern in our study with Portuguese-speaking children at Grade 2 is consistent with that in Jarmulowicz et al's (2008) study with Grade 3 English-speaking children.…”

Morphological awareness, word reading, and reading comprehension in Portuguese

“…Morphological awareness was assessed using a word analogy task that included both inflectional and derivational transformations. This task was adapted to Portuguese by Mota, Santos, and Guimarães (2014), who found validity evidence for this task in a Brazilian sample. The task focused on morphological changes that are characteristic of the Portuguese language rather than lexical characteristics such as length and word frequency.…”

Influência da consciência morfológica na leitura e na escrita: uma revisão sistemática de literatura

“…Furthermore, a relationship between morphological awareness and the speed of reading and word identification was observed (19) . Taking the relevant limitations into account, most of the studies consider, respectively, the need for tests with greater validity and reliability for the assessment of morphological awareness (22,26) , as well as the need for inclusion of tests for later control of phonological awareness, vocabulary, and general knowledge, thus reducing the increase of influences and confounding factors (12,18,21,24,31) . Some authors also stress the need for caution in the analyses and generalization of morphologic awareness tests.…”
