- Psychometric properties of a Brazilian adaptation of the Teacher Observation of Classroom Adaptation-Revised Scale for Children's Behavior Daniela R. Schneider Erikson Kaszubowski Douglas Garcia Luísa Scaff Roberto Moraes-Cruz Zila M. Sanchez Psicología cross Revised child mental health preventive programs cultural validation The aim of this study was to describe the process of psychometric analysis of the Teacher Observation of Classroom Adaptation- Revised Scale (TOCA-R) for its use in Brazilian schools and to evaluate its validity and reliability. To evaluate the "Elos Program", which is the Brazilian culturally adapted version of the North American Program "Good Behavior Game", the TOCA-R was used. The researchers adapted the instrument in 2014, consisting of 33 items in a three-point ordinal response scale. A longitudinal quasi-experimental design with a single group was used. Participants were children aged 6 to 10 years evaluated by their teachers, before (n = 1448) and after (n = 673) the implementation of the Elos Program in 2014. The study involved initially four schools, 68 classes and their respective teachers. The analytical procedures were exploratory factorial analysis, confirmatory factorial analysis, longitudinal invariance analysis and reliability analysis by precision coefficients. The results of the exploratory factorial analysis showed an acceptable adjustment of five factors with 25 items, with a total explained variance of 60% and mean residual error of 0.02. The confirmatory factorial analysis expressed a satisfactory fit of the model (χ2 = 961, df = 265, RMSEA = .078, 95% IC .07, .08, and CFI = 0.9). A configurational, metric and scalar invariance of latent structure was identified, which, together with the amplitude of variation of the precision coefficients between the instrument dimensions (α = .78, .92; ω = .76, .92), demonstrate evidence of validity and reliability for using the TOCA-R in evaluating the Elos Program in Brazilian schools. 2020 artículo científico 0123-9155 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=79868104015 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79868104015/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79868104015/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79868104015/79868104015.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79868104015/movil 10.14718/ACP.2020.23.1.15 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=798 Acta Colombiana de Psicología application/pdf Universidad Católica de Colombia Acta Colombiana de Psicología (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.23
