The Characteristics of the colored progressive matrices (CPM) and the advanced progressive matrices (APM) in Thai students age 6 - 18 years old : the Southern Region

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the quality and the construct of a normative scores table of intelligence by Colored Progressive Matrices (CPM) and Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) in 6-18 years old students in the Southern part Nakornsithammarat. Province was selected as representation. The 467 and 829 students' intelligence level was measured by CPM and APM. Statistical analysis used was Alpha, item analysis, factor analysis, standard statistic and compared means of variable difference by t-test and F-test, and constructed to normative table. Results revealed that the quality of CPM has a high reliability (Alpha of .91), the range of an item discriminates from .01 to .68 , mean of discrimination (0.31) discriminating between high group and low group, the range of an items difficulty ranges from .37 to .98, and mean of difficulty (.76) being rather easy for students. Overall quality of CPM results showed an standard error of mean of .32, mean of 27.53, Standard deviation of 6.91.The research showed there was no difference in mean of CPM raw scores in gender, but there was a difference of age and level of education at .05 level of significance. Moreover, the quality of APM has a high reliability (Alpha of .88), the range of an item discriminates from .03 to .56, mean of discrimination (0.30) discriminating between high group and low group, the range of an items difficulty ranges from .06 to .99, and mean of difficulty (.54) being difficult in moderate level for students. Overall quality of APM results showed a standard error of mean of .235, and mean of 19.55, Standard deviation of 6.87.The research showed there was a difference of gender, age and level of education at .05 level of significance. The results led to construct a specific normative score table of intelligence by CPM in 6-11 years old students in the southern region of Thailand. It was divided by age and level of education. In addition, the results also led to construct a table of intelligence by APM in 12-18 years old students in the s

การวิจัยครั้งนี้ มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อศึกษาคุณภาพของแบบทดสอบ Colored Progressive Matrices (CPM) และ Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) พร้อมทั้งสร้างเกณฑ์ปกติของคะแนนการทดสอบเชาวน์ปัญญา CPM และ APM ในกลุ่มนักเรียนไทยที่มีอายุ 6-18 ปี โดยใช้จังหวัดนครศรีธรรมราชเป็นกลุ่มตัวอย่าง ทำ การวัดเชาวน์ปัญญาเป็นกลุ่มด้วย CPM จำ นวนทั้งสิ้น 467 คน และ APM จำ นวน 829 คน วิเคราะห์คุณภาพของแบบทดสอบทั้ง 2 ชุด "
