There is an emotional Intelligence scale for children which measures emotion regulation as a sub-component of emotional intelligence.

Hello,

I know  the HTKS task (Head-Toes-Knees - and Shoulders Task), a child appropriate task, developed by Ponitz, Claire Cameron; McClelland, Megan M.; Matthews, J. S.; Morrison, Frederick J., 2009. There are also some papers about it.

There are several measures in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Studies conducted by the Dept of Education, Birth Cohort and Kindergarten Cohort.  These will give you national norms.

What grade does kindergarten start at in Turkey? In Canada it is as early as 4 years old. Depending on what indices of self–regulatory behaviour you're trying to capture (e.g., inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, defiance, aggression, etc...). The Connors Rating Scale captures behaviours  that might be informative or indicative of self–regulation difficulties. It can also be used to determine possible reasons for such difficulties. However, the scale begins at 6 years of age. Standardized norms provided.

Hi,

The construct of self-regulation is very large. What  would you like to assess more exactly ? 

The measure HKTS for example is recognized as tapping the executive function processes of working memory, inhibitory control, executive attention and flexibility. It is a very good measure and has already been used in Turkey among children in kindergarten.

The Cambridge Independent Learning (C.Ind.Le) framework, developed by David Whitebread and colleagues at Cambridge University, is an observation-based approach, that looks at self-regulation and metacognition. I have used it, along with a number of others, with success. It focuses on what children say and do during everyday activities, rather than self-report, always more problematic with young children.

I agree with Sue. If you need to measure Self regulation at kindergarten level, the work by Whitebread and colleagues at Cambridge is probably the best out there so worth checking out. Check David Whitebread's profile for a list of prominent research papers that address the issue.

There are a couple of measures of SEL competencies in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study fielded by the Dept. of Education.  

Thank you for your answers...

Hi, I m one of whitebreads colleagues, I took his model of early self regulation and I made a test ages ago. I think he did great Job, David, have a look!

Hi Nikoleta,

can you sent me a link or the publication if it is possible? Thank you!

I agree with Nikoleta. David Whitebread and his colleagues have the best grasp of measurement of SRL in kindergarten children that I have seen. I think reading the papers they have written will be the best way forward - either using their methods wholesale or adapting them to suit your needs. I adapted some of their work in measuring SRL with 8-11 year olds.

You can start from this paper and the one attached but there are a lot of others . Good luck

thanks a lot!

Thanks Gideon, I did this ages ago, and I changed direction to affective hemispheric assymetry development, your literature knowledge on the topic is a bit obsolete

I meant my knowledge is obsolete, but if you still needed it marilena I can dig something out, let me know
