Types of Reliability and Validity
by Manya Jones Cooper
1. Action Points
1.1. Test-Retest Reliability
1.2. Parellel Forms Reliability
2. Interrater Reliability method ask questions.provides a measure of dependability or consistency of scores. Retrieved from:www.axon.psy.memphis.edu
2.1. when a test includes performance task, or other items that need to be scored by humans, the reliabiity of the raters must be estimated.
3. Reliability of measurement is a property of consistency. Retrieved from:www.axon.psy.memphis.edu
4. for many criterion reference test a more useful way to think about reliability may be in terms of examiners classification. Retrieved from:www.axon.psy.memphis.edu
5. Parallell forms are constructed to match test blueprint.
6. parallel forms are constructed to be similar in average difficulty.
7. Parallel are reliable by administering both forms to the same groups.
8. Parallel form scores are correlated to determine how similarity the two test forms function.
9. If an examinee is classified as a master on both test administrations, or as a non master on both occassion , the test is producing consistency.
10. Validity is important when learning and assesing because it is important to teach concepts and beable to test the knowledge that is intented to be test and the feedback yielld valid. Retrieved from: www.axon.psy.memphis.edu
