The Psychometric Quality of The Preschool Child Observation Record: Does It Pass the Test For Use in Child Care Programs? The study aims to provide high quality evidence on the second most used assessment tool in Head Start--the Preschool Child Observation Record, 2nd edition (COR-2). To that end, this study has five objectives: (1) determine the dimensionality of the COR-2; (2) determine whether or not the optimal factor structure is the same for boys, girls, Whites, African Americans, Latinos, English language learners, and across time; (3) assess the extent to which the COR-2 is related to other validated measures of development captured at the same time and in the future; and (4) test the assumption that the five skill points of each COR-2 item are in fact in order of skill complexity. The study analyzes a subset of data from the Evidence-Based Program for the Integration of Curricula (EPIC) project, a comprehensive early childhood program specifically designed for preschool children from an underserved, minority urban population. This study uses the COR-2 data collected from a large representative sample of preschool children from low income households to examine the validity and quality of the COR-2 to inform child care services using rigorous psychometric methods. The project will interpret the research findings collaboratively with policymakers, child care professionals, and parents to stimulate a discussion about purposeful assessment in early childhood and to determine ways to improve assessment for preschool children from low income households. |

Supporting optimal child development through Early Head Start and Head Start programs: Reflections on secondary data analyses of FACES and EHSREP We are delighted to reflect on the 10 papers highlighted in this important special issue of Early Childhood Research Quarterly devoted to recent secondary data analyses of the FACES and EHSREP datasets. First, we provide some background on Head Start research and give an overview of the large-scale Head Start and Early Head Start datasets that are available for researchers to analyze. Then, we comment on the papers in this special issue from a methodological and statistical standpoint. Finally, we reflect on themes that stood out across the various papers. Throughout, we make recommendations for future large-scale data collection efforts and future research on Head Start and Early Head Start programs. (author abstract) |
