Analysis

Data analysis from the Social Competence Teacher-Parent Rating (SCTPR) typically involves statistical processing of the evaluations provided by teachers. This may include the description of means, standard deviations, and the analysis of differences between individual students or groups of students. Additionally, more advanced statistical methods such as factor analysis may be used to examine the structure of social skills and identify underlying dimensions of social competence.

Purpose

The main purpose of the SCTPR is to provide a systematic and reliable method for assessing students’ social competence as evaluated by teachers. These assessments can help identify students who may need additional support in developing social skills. Furthermore, the results can be used to design and implement interventions and educational programs that promote students’ social development.

Scoring

Scoring for the SCTPR involves procedures to ensure the reliability and validity of the tool. This may include tests for internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and comparisons with other similar assessment tools. Calibration ensures that the SCTPR is a reliable instrument that can be used consistently across various educational settings and student populations.
