รายละเอียด / Details:

The purpose of this study was to validate some items of two subtests in The Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children : Third edition (WISC-III) ; subtest picture Completion (Pc) and Information (In) Correspond to Thai culture. 3,936 student cases in Bangkok from different schools were selected randomly by serial age group : ranged from 6-16 years 11 months 30 days for 11 age levels. It consisted of 99 students as pilot studies group and 585 students as surveyed group. Reliability of materials was tried with pilot sampling of 99 students group. The Reliability Coefficient and Standard Error of measurement of both Pc and In was assessed by Correlation Analysis Wilcoxson Signed Ranks test, Reliability Coefficient : Spearman Brow. Means of Raw Scores were different at p‹0.05 in all former and validated items of Pc and In. Correlation Coefficient of Validated items in Pc no.17 (Piano-Gong Wong) ; In no.22 (Ann Frank-Sunthornphu) and no.29 (Bkk-Chiengmai/Tokyo-BKK) were at 0.141-1.258 at p<0.05 which was correlated at a low level Pc no.20 (bath tub-wash basin or sink), In no.13 (King Rama I-King Taksin), no. 18 (Brazil-Brunai) and no.23 (Pali-Sanskrit) obtained correlation Coefficient of 0.454-1.656 at p<0.05 which was at a medium level. Reliability coefficient and Standard Errors of Measurement of the former and the validated items for Pc and In in all ages level are : pc former (0.730:1.463) Pc validating (0.750:1.374) and In former (0.810:1.466), In validating (0.823:1.488). The piano picture remains to maintain the standard of WISC-III it correlated with the Gong Wong at allow level. The bath tub was replaced by the wash bain (sink) due to the medium correlation. Many students could responded correctly to the missing part of wash basin (sink) while but less gave the right response for the missing part of the bath tub. Items which were low in correlation of Information (In) were not based on Thai culture, so we could not replace and used these items in the subtest such as no.22 (Ann Frank-Sunthornphu) at a time where as no.23 which were new modified both words "Pali and Sanskrit" to replace the word "hieroglyphics" were at the medium correlation level. Students in Bangkok know both Pali and Sanskrit. So the former and the validating items should based on the same culture. The results of this study can be practiced in clinic due to high reliability coefficient and standard Error of Measurement of subtest on the former and he validating subtests were low.
