Raven’s Progressive Matrices test sheet adaptations: Challenges and Projections

Abstract

This research focuses on promoting accessibility by developing adaptations of the Raven’s Progressive Matrices test sheets. The study acknowledges the importance of aligning with inclusive education, understanding the background of adaptations, and considering multisensory and multimodal techniques. The objective is to design and create tactile adaptations based on the principles of educational inclusion, while also considering multimodal and multisensory techniques. This exploratory research includes the design, development, and revisions of the instruments. Two adaptation proposals are developed: one using microencapsulated paper sheets and another with 3D printing. Both adaptations highlight various relevant aspects, such as the benefits in terms of production and durability, as well as challenges related to design complexities, time, and access to materials. Projections for the application of these adaptations in educational and/or training settings are identified, and future research is proposed to optimize and expand these innovations in the field of psychological assessment.
