A longitudinal research study was conducted that examined aspects of child development in children who were enrolled in public daycare centers in Brazil. The participants were 596 children (1-3 years old, n = 51; 2-4 years old, n = 545) who were enrolled in 198 public daycare centers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal-social domains were assessed using the Brazilian version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, 3rd edition, adapted for public child daycare centers. A Bayesian robust regression model was performed to check for gender and age differences and interactions. The findings indicated main effects of gender and age. Females had higher scores than males in the communication and personal-social domains. No interactions were found, suggesting the absence of moderation effects between age and gender. This study provides information about child development, especially in children who are enrolled in public daycare centers in Brazil.

Anunciação, Luis; Landeira-Fernandez, Jesus (Advisor). Use of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires to establish indicators of child development in public daycare centers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rio de Janeiro, 2018. 126p. Tese de Doutorado -Departamento de Psicologia. Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro.From 2010 to 2012, the city of Rio de Janeiro initiated a large-scale project to evaluate the development of children who were enrolled in daycare centers and public preschools. The evaluation of child development was performed annually, with an average of 60,000 children in ~80% of the daycare centers and public preschools in the city. After receiving specific training, professionals at each institution (e.g., teachers and caregivers) applied the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE) to screen for risk factors (e.g., developmental delays) with regard to the major markers and milestones of child development.However, in the Brazilian context, there is a lack of studies that have investigated the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the ASQ:SE. Moreover, a dearth of studies has discussed the results of both the ASQ:BR and ASQ:SE with regard to longitudinal assessments, gender differences, and incorporation of the statistical results into public policies. That said, the present thesis had the following objectives: (1) to investigate the main psychometric properties of the ASQ:SE using both Classical Test Theory (CTT) methodology and Item Response Theory (IRT) and (2) to present an overview of child development in daycare services using the data that were gathered from this longitudinal project. Thus, this thesis comprises five articles in which the following studies were conducted. Initially, based on CTT, the factor structure of the ASQ:SE was estimated using Cronbach's , and preliminary cutoff points were computed, based on means and standard deviations.The second article extended investigation of the factor structure of the ASQ:SE and in the third article, a multidimensional IRT model was used for two purposes: (i) to confirm the dimensionality of all scales of the ASQ:SE and (ii) to verify its item characteristics. In the fourth and fifth article, the focus partially shifted from psychometric properties to the preliminary results of a longitudinal evaluation of children who were assessed over two or three consecutive years. The overall results provide evidence of the validity, reliability, and utility of the ASQ:SE and suggest PUC-Rio -Certificação Digital Nº 1412331/CA that children who are enrolled in Brazilian/Rio de Janeiro's public daycare centers, despite environmental adversity, are not at risk of serious developmental delays.

“…istraživanje u Iranu navodi da su testirane razlike u razvojnim odstupanjima, ali bez njihovih tumačenja (12). Za različite države nije provedena standardizacija (12,13,14,15,19), katkad su za granične kriterije rabljene vrijednosti ispod jedne standardne devijacije (suspektna djeca) ili dvije standardne devijacije (kritična djeca) npr. za Brazil (13), negdje su ostavljeni američki granični kriteriji iz originalnog upitnika (14), dok za neke nije ni naveden jasan kriterij prema kojem su djeca kategorizirana u skupinu djece koja kasne u razvoju, npr.…”

Upitnik dobi i razvojnih razina, 3. izdanje (ASQ-3) jedan je od najčešće primijenjenih mjernih instrumenata za rani probir djece koja pokazuju razvojna odstupanja. U praksi ga rabe odgojni i zdravstveni djelatnici. Cilj je istraživanja provesti validaciju i standardizaciju hrvatske verzije ASQ-3. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 368 roditelja koji su procjenjivali djecu u dobi od tri do pet godina. Roditelji su popunili hrvatsku verziju upitnika ASQ-3. Provjerena je sadržajna i konstruktna valjanost, kao i unutrašnja pouzdanost. Utvrđene su norme na hrvatskom uzorku djece te je uspoređena prevalencija razvojnih odstupanja pri primjeni hrvatskih normi u odnosu na one originalne američke. Sadržajna valjanost je potvrđena suglasnošću triju nezavisnih stručnjaka (psiholog, pedijatar i specijalist rane intervencije) te je faktorskom analizom utvrđena umjerena konstruktna valjanost. Unutrašnja pouzdanost uglavnom je bila niska do umjerena, a posebice se niska pokazala za ljestvicu komunikacije te osobno i društveno područje. Norme su izračunate na temelju odstupanja ispod jedne standardne devijacije (blaži kriterij, suspektno razvojno kašnjenje), odnosno ispod dvije standardne devijacije (stroži kriterij, kritično razvojno kašnjenje). Rezultati pokazuju kako roditelji procjenjuju podjednak broj djece koja pokazuju razvojna kašnjenja (suspektne i kritične za razvojno kašnjenje) neovisno primjenjujemo li hrvatske ili originalne američke norme.Manja odstupanja pri primjeni različitih normi pronađena su samo na ljestvici komunikacije, gdje je utvrđen veći broj djece koja pokazuju razvojno kašnjenje (za obje skupine, suspektne i kritične za razvojno kašnjenje) kad primjenjujemo hrvatske norme u odnosu na američke.Iz navedenog možemo zaključiti kako se hrvatska verzija ASQ-3 pokazala obećavajućom kao test probira, iako su potrebne manje adaptacije kao i provjera ekološke i kriterijske valjanosti.
