Abstract:

This study investigates the measurement properties of the Social and Emotional Learning in Educational Children’s Television (SELECT) rating instrument. The SELECT measures the degree to which educational children’s television programs incorporate specific pedagogical features theorized to promote social and emotional learning (SEL). It is a 24-item rating instrument. Eight items pertain to the episode’s depiction of personal SEL behaviors (e.g., self-awareness, self management, and personal problem solving); eight items pertain to depiction of social SEL behaviors (e.g., social awareness, relationship skills, and interpersonal problem solving); and eight items pertain to depiction of aggressive behaviors (e.g., physical and verbal aggression). Two research assistants and I rated 64 episodes of educational television programs for preschool-age children. I conducted a many-faceted Rasch analysis with three facets: rater, scale, and episode. I sought to answer several research questions: Do the items represent a unidimensional construct? Can raters use the rating instrument consistently? Can the rating instrument detect differences in SEL promotion among episodes? Which specific behaviors do these episodes depict most frequently? Results from a pilot study indicated that the items represent a unidimensional construct, raters can use the measure consistently, and the instrument reliably detects between-episode differences in SEL promotion. I will complete my analysis of the ratings from the full sample by April 2011. The SELECT is the first instrument designed to assess the likelihood that a television program will promote SEL. It may prove instrumental in the development and evaluation of videos as innovative SEL-promotion tools.
