Purpose: The wide application of the test in the pedagogical practice of kindergartens, regulated by the Ordinance on Inclusive Education of the Ministry of Education and Science of 27.10.2017, puts on the agenda the need to create a short form of screening test that would make its application easier, but at the same time to preserve its structure and informative value. This can guarantee its easier and effective application in kindergartens by children’s teachers and other pedagogical specialists.
Application/Results:
As a result, the initial pool of items was reduced and the an optimal number of items was reached (46), allowing to preserve the structure of the test with initially proposed subscales.
The administration of the test will be significantly shortened and will take about 15-20 minutes on average.
