Abstrakt

The paper describes the theoretical background, development, and preliminary results of the "Leistungsprofiltest Schlussfolgemdes Denken - Verbal (SDV)" (competence profile test: deductive reasoning - verbal). The test was derived from Piaget's developmental theory. According to results from performance-competence research the transition from concrete-operational stage to formal-operational stage is influenced by moderator variables and is therefore more gradual than proposed by Piaget. Hypotheses concerning transition stages are presented in the paper. The SDV consists of system atically constructed (syllogistic) conditional inference items. The theoretical assumptions were tested on a sample of 418 secondary school students, grades 7 to 12. For data analysis, Mixed Rasch Models (MRMs) were applied. The 3-class solution fits the data best. Based on their competence profiles, the three latent classes can be described as concrete-operational stage, transition stage 1, and transition stage 2. Results support the theoretical assumptions of the SDV.
