2. Criterion-Related Evidence
2.1. Concurrent
2.1.1. Yields a numeric value, or a correlation coefficient.
2.1.2. Assists in measuring validity of a new, or recreated test
2.1.3. "The concurrent validity evidence for a test is determined by administering both the new test and the established test to a group of respondents , then finding the correlation between the two sets of test scores," (Kubiszyn & Borich, 2010, p. 330)
2.1.4. Similar rankings per student, between the established and new tests, means a high correlation coefficient, and thus indicating concurrent validity.
2.2. Predictive
2.2.1. Yields a numeric value, or a correlation coefficient.
2.2.2. Useful for aptitude tests
2.2.3. "Predictive validity evidence refers to how well the test predicts some future behavior of the examinees ... [or] how well test takers will do in some future setting," (Kubiszyn & Borich, 2010, p. 331)
2.2.4. Design: an initial test is administered to a group and given a score, the group is scored or graded on the same subject over time in the classroom, the two scores are correlated to generate a correlation coefficient. Correlation coefficients are used to predict future performance on the same intial test.
3. Construct Evidence
3.1. "A test has construct validity evidence if its relationship to other information corresponds well with some theory," (Kubiszyn & Borich, 2010, p. 332).
