Abstract

This Study is intended to provide some basic information for an appropriate educational intervention by selecting some toddlers and children whose basic mathematical skills are poor as well as diagnosing the levels of basic mathematical skills of the Vietnamese toddlers and children by developing a Vietnam Version of Basic Mathematical Ability Test. The specific study questions for achieving those study purposes mentioned above are as follows. First study question is to develop a draft of Vietnam-version basic mathematical ability test, Second study question is to examine the Item Goodness of Vietnam-version basic mathematical ability test. Third study question is to examine the Reliability of Vietnam-version basic mathematical ability test. Forth study question is to examine the validity of Vietnam-version basic mathematical ability test. The participants in this Study were 252 toddlers and children in total in the age bracket from 4 to 8 years old who are in some preschools and elementary schools located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. A draft proposal for a Vietnam Version of Basic Mathematical Ability Test was developed through literature review, the reviews by some experts, pilot-test. The Item Goodness of the Vietnam Version of Basic Mathematical Ability Test hat was finally selected was surveyed by using the correlation coefficient between the items and the total score, Cronbach’s α if Item Deleted, the Item Difficulty and the Item Discrimination. The reliability of the Vietnam Version of Basic Mathematical Ability Test was surveyed by finding out the test-retest reliability while using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient and by finding out the Item Internal Consistency while using the Cronbach’s α. As the results from a study, it was found that the Item Goodness of the Vietnam Version of Basic Mathematical Ability Test was appropriate and the reliability and validity of the test were high enough. Based on this Study, it was discussed how to enhance more the Item Goodness of the Vietnam Version of Basic Mathematical Ability Test and the Reliability and Validity of the Test.
