Abstract
The Inventario de Comportamiento Escolar (IDCE) is a teacher rating inventory for the assessment of Puerto Rican children, particularly those with a behavior pattern indicative of attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, or academic underachievement. Factor analysis of classroom behavior ratings of a representative sample of 961 Puerto Rican students (kindergarten to sixth grade) yielded five scales: Inattention, Hyperactivity, Inappropriate Social Behavior, Irritability-Hostility, and Anxiety. Factor analysis of school performance ratings yielded five scales: Reading-Spelling, Expressive Language, Memory, Directionality-Laterality, and Motor Skills. Alpha coefficients (mean: .90; range: .81 to .97) and item total correlations (mean: .67; range: .52 to .78) provided evidence of the internal consistency of the scales. Four-week test-retest reliability ranged from .70 to .90.Keywords
