Development of Korean Version of Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ-K)

Abstract

This study translated the developmental coordination disorder questionnaire'07 (DCDQ'07) into Korean and investigated the psychometric properties of the Korean DCDQ (DCDQ-K) using validation processes. Methods: The subjects were 300 parents with typically developing children aged 5-15 years (162 girls and 138 boys, mean age 9.24 years, SD 2.59) across the country. To develop the Korean DCDQ, a forward-backward-original author feedback-panel meeting-pilot study with parents was done. The internal consistency, test-retest reliability performed two weeks apart, content validity, discriminative validity, convergent validity, and constructive validity were examined with the pre-version of the DCDQ-K. Results: Approximately 15.33% of the subjects were probably shown DCD using DCDQ-K. Significant differences in age and province were observed in the DCDQ-K total score. The reliabilities and validities were good in the DCDQ-K. Conclusion: The DCDQ-K is a reasonable screening tool for DCD children.

Relationship between the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire 2007 and the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition in Korean Children

“…DCDQ’07 total scores of all children in the current study (60.63; age range, 8 to 12 years) were comparable to scores reported in a previous study on Korean children (61.75; age range, 5 to 15 years) [ 45 ]. These scores in the current study were higher than those for Brazilian children (58.26; age range, 6 to 10 years) [ 27 ] but lower than those for Canadian and British children in the original manual (61.79; age range, 5 to 15 years) [ 32 ], Turkish children (63.79; age range, 5 to 15 years) [ 46 ], and Spanish children (64.64; age range, 6 to 12 years) [ 47 ].…”
