Chapter 11:principles Of Test Selection And Administration

Front 1

Measurement

Back 1

the process of collecting test data

Front 2

formative evaluation

Back 2

periodic reevaluation based on midtests administered during the training at regular intervals

Front 3

validity

Back 3

refers to the degree to which a test or test item measures what it is supposed to measure

Front 4

construct validity

Back 4

the ability of a test to represent the underlying construct

Front 5

face validity

Back 5

the appearance to the athlete and other casual observers that the test measures what it is purported to measure

Front 6

content validity

Back 6

assessment by experts that the testing covers all relevant subtopics or component abilities in appropriate proportions

Front 7

criterion referenced validity

Back 7

extent of which test scores are associated with some other measure of the same ability

Front 8

concurrent validity

Back 8

extent to which test scores are associated with those of other accepted tests that measure the same ability

Front 9

convergent validity

Back 9

evidenced by high positive correlation between results of the test being assessed and those of the recognized measure of the construct (gold standard)

Front 10

discriminant validity

Back 10

ability of a test to distinguish between two different constructs and is evidenced by low correlation between the results of the test and those of a different construct

Front 11

reliability

Back 11

measure of the degree of consistency or repeat ability of a test

Front 12

testretest reliability

Back 12

any difference between the two sets of scores represents measurement error, which can arise from:
intrasubject, lack of interrater, interarater, failure of test itself to provide consistent results

Front 13

intrasubject variability

Back 13

lack of consistent performance by the person tested

Front 14

interrater reliability

Back 14

objectivity or interrater agreement is the degree to which raters agree

Front 15

interrater variability

Back 15

is the lack of consistent scores by a given tester
