Desenvolvimento e Validação do Inventário de Caracterização de Ambientes para a Educação Inicial
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
Neste estudo, foram avaliadas as propriedades psicométricas do Inventário de Caracterização de Ambientes para a Educação Inicial (INCA-EI) e o efeito do contexto socioeconômico e do tipo de instituição na qualidade dos ambientes. Foram avaliadas 142 salas de aula de educação inicial. A análise da Unidimensionalidade para a Dimensão Estrutura e a AFC para a Dimensão Processo mostraram um bom ajuste dos itens às subdimensões da Estrutura (p>.05; CFI ≥.90; RMSEA<.08), validando a organização de três fatores correlacionados nas subdimensões do Processo (χ²=323.82; RMSEA=.06; CFI=.96; TLI=.96). O instrumento apresenta bons valores de consistência interna (α =.88; ω =.93) e acordos moderados e consideráveis na maioria das pontuações no acordo entre juízes (ICC=.80). São apresentadas diferenças entre a qualidade do ambiente de escolas entre jardins e instituições de diferentes contextos socioeconômicos. Os resultados mostram que o INCA-EI constitui um instrumento válido e confiável para avaliação de ambientes na educação inicial, que pode ser utilizado para fins de pesquisa e monitoramento de políticas públicas.
