การศึกษาการรับรู้ทางตาของเด็กไทยโดยใช้แบบทดสอบ the developmental test of visual perception-second edition (DTVP-2)
Abstract:
This research aimed to study the visual perception of Thai children by using
The Developmental Test of Visual Perception – Second Edition (DTVP-2). The age
groups, gender, and the limitation of using the DTVP-2 with Thai children were
examined. The subjects in this study were 398 students, whose ages ranged from 4
years through 10 years 11 months, studying in kindergarten to primary level (Grade
5) at Prayaprasert Suntrasai School.
The result found that the mean of the DTVP-2 of Thai children between
age groups was significantly different at the level of .001. Children in the age range
from 4 years through 4 years 11 months had the lowest mean of the DTVP-2, while
the 10 years through 10 years 11 months children had the highest. Also the finding
indicated that the mean of the DTVP-2 increased as the age group increased. In
gender variables, only Eye-Hand Coordination subtest was significantly different at
the level of .05. Boys had lower means than girls.
The findings revealed that the DTVP-2 was effective in evaluating visual
perception of Thai children. The test outcomes provided useful information for
these children without visual perception problems. For the other, the problems were
able to be diagnosed and measures undertaken to improve their visual perception.
