The evaluation of sign language proficiency needs to be based on measures with well-established psychometric proprieties. To date, no valid and reliable test is available to assess Polish Sign Language (Polski Język Migowy, PJM) skills in deaf children. Hence, our aim with this study was to adapt the British Sign Language Receptive Skills Test (the first standardized test to determine sign language proficiency in children) into PJM, a less researched sign language. In this paper, we present the first steps in the adaptation process and highlight linguistic and cultural similarities and differences between the British Sign Language Receptive Skills Test and the PJM adaptation. We collected data from 20 deaf children who were native signers (age range: 6 to 12) and 30 deaf children who were late learners of PJM (age range: 6 to 13). Preliminary analyses showed that the PJM Receptive Skills Test has acceptable psychometric characteristics (item analysis, validity, reliability, and sensitivity to age). Our long-term goal with this work was to include younger children (age range: 3 to 6) and to standardize the PJM Receptive Skills Tests, so that it can be used in educational settings and in scientific research.

将英国手语接受技能测试改编为波兰手语

手语熟练程度的评估需要基于具有完善心理测量特性的措施。迄今为止,没有有效且可靠的测试可用于评估聋童的波兰手语 (Polski Język Migowy, PJM) 技能。因此,我们本研究的目的是将英国手语接受技能测试(第一个确定儿童手语熟练程度的标准化测试)改编为 PJM,一种研究较少的手语。在本文中,我们介绍了适应过程的第一步,并重点介绍了英国手语接受技能测试与 PJM 适应之间语言和文化的异同。我们收集了 20 名本地手语者(年龄范围:6 至 12 岁)和 30 名 PJM 后期学习者(年龄范围:6 至 13 岁)的聋童的数据。初步分析表明 PJM 接受技能测试具有可接受的心理测量特征(项目分析、有效性、可靠性和对年龄的敏感性)。我们这项工作的长期目标是让年幼的孩子(年龄范围:3 到 6 岁)参与进来,并使 PJM 接受技能测试标准化,以便它可以用于教育环境和科学研究。
