NAKANO, TATIANA DE CÁSSIA and PRIMI, RICARDO. GIFTED INDICATORS SCREENING SCALE: CRITERION VALIDITY. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.77, pp.472-495. Epub Jan 04, 2021. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v31i77.6794.
The study aimed to investigate evidence of criterion validity of an instrument named Screening of Indicators of High Skills/Giftedness. The scale, answered by the teacher, evaluates the student’s development in five areas: general intellectual ability, specific academic abilities, leadership, creativity and artistic talent. The sample consisted of 568 participants: 213 in the control group and 355 in the criterion group. The results of factorial variance analysis and the Student t-test indicated significant differences of the means between groups, confirming the evidence investigated. Logistic regression analysis was also conducted to identify how much the score in each specific area of the scale could predict the area high skills/giftedness identified for the individual.
