Hello,
in the current overview of measures and variable naming conventions (Fuß et al., revised version 2025), SC3 is reported to have been administered a test for vocabulary ('listening comprehension at word level, competence domain ‚vo‘) in wave 2. SC 4 was administered testing for vocabulary skills in wave 1. This is also reported in Berendes et al. (2013), where it is explained in ch. 6.4.1 that a "PPVT-like
research version had to be developed for each of the younger age groups (4 to 5
years of age, first graders, sixth graders). " (p. 36), and that „the version for the sixth grad-
ers was tested in a pilot study with 369 students; data analyses showed an internal
consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) of α = .88 for this test version. Assessments of vo-
cabulary can be linked across age groups because an anchor item design underlies
the various test versions. In addition, a linking study allows the different modes of
administration to be linked (individual testing in preschool, testing in group set-
tings in school).“ (p. 36).
Could you point me to documentation on these tests,? Apart from the total number of items known from the data, I cannot find information on these as in the documentation ‚Informationen zu den Kompetenztests‘ on SC4, the pdf for ‚vo‘ is pending, and for SC 3 i cannot find any pdf either.
Thank you!
