Abstract
Executive function (EF) measures of children in Africa are heavily dependent on mostly task-based assessments normed in another culture. This challenge limits the chances of understanding how children display their EF behaviours within their host culture. To fill this vacuum, we developed an EF observation instrument that help to capture how children display their EF behaviours in a natural classroom environment without disruption to their daily routines. In this presentation, I will discuss the results from our review of EF literature in Africa 54 countries and 8 territories, teachers’ interviews, and psychometric analysis of our developed measure.
Series This talk is part of the Centre for Child, Adolescent & Family Research Seminar Series series.
