Preschool Field Test Spring Instruments

OMB #1850-0803 v.253

Submitted by

National Center for Education Statistics

U.S. Department of Education

August 2019

Instruments Note:

Under SSQ010, fourteen items ask parents to rate their child on social-emotional skills including ability to exercise self-control (for example, fighting, arguing, anger); ability to interact with others (for example, playing, making friends); and approaches to learning (for example, self-direction, organization, eagerness to learn). The social skills and behavior items are adapted from the Social Skills Rating Scale (SSRS) by Gresham and Elliot 1990 and are published by NCS Pearson. These items (g-n) are copyright protected and are not listed (they are submitted directly to OMB for review).

The web version of the survey will be optimized for mobile users and will have a combination of radio buttons (for large browser screens) or text buttons (for small browser screens) for enumerated questions depending on the user's browser size. Some questions are open ended (e.g., other specify responses, questions about hours and minutes) and these open response fields will appear after the label but are not shown in this document.

Fourteen items ask parents to rate their child on social-emotional skills including ability to exercise self-control (for example, fighting, arguing, anger); ability to interact with others (for example, playing, making friends); and approaches to learning (for example, self-direction, organization, eagerness to learn). The social skills and behavior items are adapted from the Social Skills Rating Scale (SSRS) by Gresham and Elliot 1990 and are published by NCS Pearson. These items (g-n) are copyright protected and are not listed (they are submitted directly to OMB for review). The approaches to learning items were created for the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K) by Atkins-Burnett. They are not copyright protected and, therefore, are listed below.

It also refers to relationships that exist where there are two people living together as married and they have children. For example, the child's father and the father's girlfriend (who is not the child's mother) live together as married and the girlfriend's daughter lives with them. The relationship of the girlfriend's daughter to the child would be siblings if they were married, but since the father and the girlfriend are not married, she is an "other non-relative." If the "other non-relative" is checked, you will receive a list of categories that are more descriptive than "other non-relative" to chose from.
