VIANA, Fernanda Leopoldina et al. Listening Comprehension Assessment: Validity Studies of Two Vertically Scaled Tests for Portuguese Students. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.1, pp.345-354. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy14-1.lcav.
This study aims to gather construct- and criterion-related validity evidence for the Test of Listening Comprehension of Narrative Texts (TLC-n) and the Test of Listening Comprehension of Expository Texts (TLC-e), each composed of a vertically scaled form for Portuguese students from the first to fourth grades of primary school. A sample of 1342 students and a sample of 1168 students participated in the study of the TLC-n and TLC-e forms' dimensionality, respectively. Two hundred and eighty students participated in the criterion-related validity study of the tests. Confirmatory factorial analyses were performed for the study of the test forms' dimensionality. To collect criterion-related validity evidence, Pearson correlations with measures oflistening and reading related skills were calculated. Results provide evidence of an acceptable fit for the one-factor solution, for all forms, and statistically significant correlations between the test forms and the external criteria measures. There is evidence for the validity of the test forms.
