Early Childhood Education Education Educational Technology Educational Tests and Measurements treatment acceptability factor analysis automated language intervention pre-service teachers in-service teachers This study applied a 10-question usage rating survey to ratings of an automated language intervention procedure for teaching vocabulary and comprehension skills to preschoolers. A total of 116 pre-service and in-service teacher participants rated the automated language intervention on the constructs of acceptability, understanding, feasibility, and systems support. The psychometric integrity of a 10-question treatment acceptability instrument, based on the Usage Rating Profile (URP-I; Chafouleas et al., 2009), was examined and confirmed through exploratory factor analysis. Overall, results indicated high usage ratings for the intervention. Pre-service and in-service participants differed in mean ratings in the area of acceptability, which may support a concern in the current treatment acceptability literature over using pre-service teachers as respondents. Findings indicated that a shorter treatment does not compromise its psychometric integrity, and teaching personnel generally approved of this classroom-based, automated language intervention, despite slightly differing in acceptability ratings by years of teaching experience. 2012-12-18 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1354295856 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1354295856 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
