Abstract
PEDRO, Ketilin Mayra and OGEDA, Clarissa Maria Marques. CROSS-CULTURAL ADAPTATION AND VALIDATION OF DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS IN SPECIAL EDUCATION. Revista Teias [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.73, pp.85-97. Epub Aug 24, 2023. ISSN 1982-0305. https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2023.74245.
The cross-cultural adaptation and validation of data collection instruments are configured as complex activities that need to be systematized, so that the scientific and methodological rigor is guaranteed, thus providing greater reliability and trustworthiness to the process. In this context, the objective of the present study is to analyze scientific productions on cross-cultural adaptation and validation of instruments in the context of special education. To this end, a literature review was carried out at the Scientific Electronic Library Online, the Virtual Health Library and the CAPES Periodicals Portal. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematics Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) was used as support material for the analysis. It was verified that there is no expressive academic production in the area, which may indicate a lack of validated and reliable instruments in the field of special education. There was a higher prevalence of studies whose instruments focused on disabilities in general, and which contemplated a quantitative approach for data treatment and analysis purposes. It is noteworthy that the authors of the selected articles, who applied the instruments to the target population, mostly contemplated expressions, which adopted greater reliability to the process of cross-cultural adaptation and validation. The importance of new research in the area, which explores the methodological merit of this type of research, was evidenced, in order to know, in a deeper way, the quality of the instruments applied in national studies within the scope of special education.
