Standardization of the Italian form of the Rhode Island Pupil Identification Scale

Abstract

The Rhode Island Pupil Identification Scale (RIPIS) is a pupil-behaviour observation scale developed for use by classroom teachers in the early school grades. The principal objectives of the scale are to help the classroom teacher: (1) to identify children with learning problems; (2) to indicate more readily, using the scale language, the specific aspects of the school problem requiring attention; and (3) to focus more efficiently upon the resolution of the specific problem as observed in its natural surroundings. The RIPIS was standardized and validated initially in 1972, in the United States in the state of Rhode Island. The specific details of the developmental and original validation research were published by the authors one year later (Novack, Bonaventura and Merenda, 1973). Since 1974, a number of foreign-language forms have been developed and cross-cultural research projects have been initiated in a variety of countries for the purpose of producing standardized and validated forms of the RIPIS for adoption in those countries. The first of these research projects was initiated in Italy, in 1976 in Milan.
