Indonesian Language Normative Test: Preschool Semantic Comprehension Test

Background: The needs and limitations of norm-referenced language tests are still a challenge for speech therapists in Indonesia. This study aims to provide an overview of the psychometric property profile of the Tes Pemahaman Semantik Prasekolah (TPSP). Method: The psychometric property test in this study consisted of several stages; tryout (pilot testing), validity test and reliability test. The total sample in this study was 306 typical children, with an age range of four to six years. This study was conducted from 2022 to 2023. Result: Based on statistical analysis, it is known that all test items on the TPSP have a good discrimination index (DI = .45 to DI = .70.). Then, in terms of construct, TPSP has a positive relationship with verbal intelligence, verbal short-term memory, and verbal working memory. Furthermore, the reliability coefficient of TPSP is in the very high category (r = .90 – r = .95). Conclusion: Referring to the existing findings, it can be concluded that TPSP is an Indonesian language test instrument with a good psychometric property profile.

Abstract

Background: The needs and limitations of norm-referenced language tests are still a challenge for speech therapists in Indonesia. This study aims to provide an overview of the psychometric property profile of the Tes Pemahaman Semantik Prasekolah (TPSP). Method: The psychometric property test in this study consisted of several stages; tryout (pilot testing), validity test and reliability test. The total sample in this study was 306 typical children, with an age range of four to six years. This study was conducted from 2022 to 2023. Result: Based on statistical analysis, it is known that all test items on the TPSP have a good discrimination index (DI = .45 to DI = .70.). Then, in terms of construct, TPSP has a positive relationship with verbal intelligence, verbal short-term memory, and verbal working memory. Furthermore, the reliability coefficient of TPSP is in the very high category (r = .90 – r = .95). Conclusion: Referring to the existing findings, it can be concluded that TPSP is an Indonesian language test instrument with a good psychometric property profile.
