Abstract EN

This study aimed to find out preliminary indications of the validity and reliability of the Auditory Processing and Visualization subtests of the Woodcock-Johnson IV, Arabic Version, with a sample of 30 female Saudi students with learning disability in the upper elementary grade levels in Jeddah.

To achieve this aim, the raw scores of the Auditory Processing and the Visualization subtests as well as the Progressive Matrices and the Test of Auditory Analysis were used to investigate the concurrent validity of both subtests.

The sample of this study was chosen by using random cluster method.

The results showed that there were preliminary indicators of both subtests’ validity as represented by positive and significant correlations used to investigate the concurrent validity.

Also, the analysis of items difficulty for both subtests showed that the subtests’ items were cluster, ranged into groups, and took into account the differences among students.

The results also showed that there were preliminary indicators of both subtests’ reliability as represented by positive and significant correlations when using test re-test and split-half methods.

Although the Kuder- Richardson coefficients did not show enough indicators of the internal consistency, the researchers concluded that might be explained by small sample size.

The researchers also concluded that the initial indicators that were collected during this study showed a promising future for these tests in Saudi Arabia.
