목적: 본 연구는 작업설문지(Occupational Questionnaire, OQ)를 한국 문화에 맞게 번역 및 수정하여 한국판 작업설문지(Korean Occupational Questionnaire, K-OQ)를 개발하고 이에 대한 타당도 및 신뢰도 를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법: OQ는 순번역, 역번역, 번역위원회 회의를 거쳐 한국어로 번안되었으며, 전문가 집단의 패널회의를 통하여 한국 문화적 맥락에 부합하도록 검토 및 수정되었다. 다음으로 인지적 인터뷰를 시행하여 K-OQ를 완성하였다. 성인 188명을 대상으로 K-OQ와 삶의 만족도 척도(Satisfaction With Life Scale: SWLS)를 측정하였고, 참가자 중 41명을 대상으로 K-OQ 재검사를 실시하였다. 결과: K-OQ 개발 과정에서 변경된 대표적 내용은 세 가지이다. 첫째, 기존 OQ 활동영역 질문의 네 가지 보기-일, 일상생활활동, 여가, 휴식이 K-OQ에서는 다섯 가지 보기-일, 일상생활활동, 여가/놀이, 휴식/수면, 교육 활동으로 변경되었다. 둘째, 기존 OQ에서는 눈 뜬 시간부터 잠들기까지의 시간에 대한 기록을 수집하는 반면, K-OQ에서는 24시간을 기록하도록 하였다. 셋째, 활동에 대한 사회적 가치를 묻는 질문을 추가하였다. K-OQ 타당도 결과, 삶의 만족도는 흥미(r = 0.313, p < 0.001), 개인인과(r = 0.310, p < 0.001), 가치(r = 0.250, p < 0.001) 순으로 유의미한 상관을 보였다. 검사-재검사 신뢰도는 중간에서 매우 높은 수준으로(ICC = 0.510~0.909) 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구는 한국 문화에 적합한 K-OQ를 개발하였고, K-OQ가 적절한 타당도 및 신뢰도를 갖춘 평가도구임 을 확인하였다. K-OQ가 한국 임상에서 시간사용 및 작업의지를 평가하는데 유용한 평가로 사용되어질 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Objective: The Modified Barthel Index (MBI) measures individuals’ level of independence in performing activities of daily living. The purpose of this study was to examine the internal consistency and construct validity of the MBI for children with rare disorders. Methods: The study participants are children with rare disorders who have muscle weakness including Barth syndrome and congenital muscular dystrophy (N = 113). The MBI was completed by participants in either an online format utilizing the UF Qualtrics system or a pencil-and-paper format. Statistical analysis was conducted to examine the psychometric properties of the MBI. Results: The MBI showed excellent internal consistency for children with Barth syndrome (Cronbach’s α = .91) and congenital muscular dystrophy (Cronbach’s α = .93). Construct validity was supported by a significant difference in MBI scores among participants grouped by diagnoses. MBI score was significantly different between the unaffected group and congenital muscular dystrophy (p < .0001) as well as between the unaffected group and Barth syndrome (p < .0001). Conclusion: The psychometric properties of the MBI present good reliability and construct validity suggesting suitability for use as an outcome measure for children with rare disorders.

The WeeFIM is an outcome measure used worldwide to evaluate the functional abilities of children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of WeeFIM in Korean children with cerebral palsy (CP) using the Rasch model. The mean age of the participants (92 boys and 53 girls) was 10.6 years (SD=2.3, range 5~15 years). The Winsteps software was used for analyzing the internal construct validity and reliability of WeeFIM. For analyzing the internal validity the motor and cognitive area items of the WeeFIM were analyzed both together and separately. When all 18 items were analyzed 4 were considered to be misfits; upper extremity dressing, lower extremity dressing, toileting, and comprehension. When only the 13 motor items were analyzed, toileting, bladder management, and bowel management were considered misfits. In addition, only comprehension was considered as a misfit among the 5 cognitive items. The most difficult motor items were stair climbing, and bathing. The simple ones were eating, bowel management, and bladder management. The most difficult cognitive item was problem solving, and the simplest one was comprehension. The person separation indexes and reliability for combined and divided instruments were reported as excellent. These results demonstrated the applicability of WeeFIM to Korean CP children with satisfactory reliability and validity. Further studies should include young children with CP and compare item difficulty among the different types of CP. In addition, the Korean normative data of nondisabled children should be used to compare the cultural differences between Korea and other countries.

Learning style instruments continue to enjoy widespread use despite the questionable reliability and validity. The study examined whether reliability and validity of Reid’s (1984) Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire (PLSPQ) hold true across Korean EFL college students. The PLSPQ was administered to 309 students from eight major areas. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, ranging from .65 to .81, yielded good reliability with the exception of the Auditory scale. Exploratory factor analysis indicating the dimensionality of the PLSPQ, however, produced that certain items did not clearly group into the six learning styles as Reid hypothesized. Thus, seven-factor solution in the present study was not conceptually consistent with Reid’s learning style model. Subsequently, a four-factor solution as an alternative would provide a more orthogonal and conceptually acceptable learning style framework for the students sampled. The study further identified the students’ preferred English learning styles and explored whether their gender and major fields of study affect the learning styles in terms of the four-factor solution. Due to the mixed evidence for the reliability and validity of the instrument, the study suggested more replication studies of the factor structure that shows distinct characteristics of Korean EFL students.

본 연구의 목적은 일반 학습 상황에서 개발된 GRSLSS(Riechmann & Grasha, 1989)를 체육수업 맥락으로 적용시켜 영역 특수적인 학습양식 척도의 개념적 구조를 검증하는 것이다. 1,266명의 남녀 중고등학생이 본 연구에 참여하였으며, 수집된 자료에 대하여 기술통계, 탐색적 요인분석, 신뢰도 분석, 상관분석 및 다집단 분석이 실시되었다. 확인적 요인분석의 결과 체육수업 맥락에서 6가지 학습양식(장독립적/장의존적, 회피적/참여적, 협력적/경쟁적)의 개념적 구조가 존재하고 있다는 사실이 확인되었다. 6요인 39문항으로 구성된 체육 학습양식 척도의 시간적 안정성과 내적동기를 이용한 예측 타당도가 검증되었다. 다집단 분석의 결과 성별과 학년급간 구인 동등성이 검증되었으며, 성별간 잠재평균 차이가 장의존적 요인을 제외하고 모든 요인에서 나타났다. 본 결과는 기존의 학습양식에 관한 결과와 교육적 시사점과 관련하여 논의되었다.
