Die Beobachtung von Interaktionen im Kindergartenalltag

Das Individualized Assessment Scoring System (inCLASS)

Published Online:October 29, 2015https://doi.org/10.1026/2191-9186/a000207

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Interaktionen von Kindern mit Erwachsenen, mit Peers und mit der räumlich-materialen Umwelt spielen für Lernen und Entwicklung eine zentrale Rolle. Trotz der wachsenden Bedeutung der Entwicklungsdokumentation steht für den deutschen Kindergartenkontext bisher kein reliables Verfahren zur Beobachtung des Verhaltens von Kindern in Interaktionen zur Verfügung. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war daher die Adaptation des in den USA entwickelten Individualized Classroom Assessment Scoring Systems (inCLASS). An der Studie nahmen 110 Kinder teil (57 Mädchen). Die in US-amerikanischen Stichproben gefundene faktorielle Struktur des inCLASS wurde weitgehend bestätigt. Interne Konsistenzen und Beobachterübereinstimmung waren zufriedenstellend. Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass das inCLASS im deutschen Kindergartenkontext ein geeignetes Instrument zur Dokumentation des Verhaltens von Kindern in Interaktionen ist.


Observing Children's Interactions in Kindergarten Classrooms. The Individualized Assessment Scoring System (inCLASS)

Abstract. Preschool learning experiences are mediated by children's interactions with adults, peers, and tasks. Although the documentation of children's development has gained importance, to date there is no reliable observational measure of children's interactions available for use in the German context. The aim of the present study was therefore the adaptation of the Individualized Classroom Assessment Scoring System (inCLASS), a measure developed in the US kindergarten context. Participants of the study were 110 children (57 girls). Results largely confirmed the factor structure of the inCLASS found in US samples. Internal consistencies as well as inter-rater reliability were satisfying. Findings suggest that the inCLASS is a suitable measure for documenting children's behavior in interactions in the German preschool context.
