Objective: To establish a scale used for teacher to assess adolescents’ academic problem
behavior, and to test its Reliability and validity. Methods: Taking three domains of executive function
(cognitive flexibility, working memory, inhibition control) as theoretical models, based on sibley’s scale
and research of domestic scholars on academic problem Behavior, the Adolescents’ Academic Problem
Behavior Checklists(AAPBC) was constructed, and 783 middle school students randomly chosed were
assessed by class teachers. Results: The two-factor structure of AAPBC was established by exploratory
factor analysis, which would explain 75.30% of the total variance; the confirmatory factor analysis shows
that the data fit the model reasonably(χ2
/df=3.356,GFI=0.856,CFI=0.942,RMSEA=0.078);the
Cronbach’s alpha of the total scale and two factors is 0.947~0.972; the split-half reliability was 0.928~0.955;
the rater reliability was 0.842~0.872; the retest reliability was 0.627~0.727; the correlation between the
total scale and two factors is 0.810~0.971, and the correlation between AAPBC and the final grade is0.323~-0.381 (p<0.001).Conclusion: AAPBC(For Teacher) has good validity and reliability.
