Test validity

accounting for bias, reliability, validity, and diverse learners. I started out by choosing a lesson that would be a bit easier to put into a written test form (considering art classes are most commonly based on performance). So, I chose photography because there are a lot of technical components one must know to take an aesthetically pleasing photograph. Once I knew what I wanted to test, I thought about what I have been taught in photography and imagined it as a test. Once I did this, the…

include: the test itself; how the test is administered and scored; and the test taker. All of these items can cause errors.

Kourmousi, Darviri, Varvogli, & Alexopoulos (2015) adapted the TSI to a Greek version and ran a comparison against the Perceived Stress Scale in which they were able to obtain similar results as well as show convergent validity in a…

Validity in Research When planning research, scholars must consider many factors. Two such factors are is the measure of the construct valid and will the specific measure of the construct result in reliable data (Trochim & Donnelly, 2008). Take for example a study to determine the effectiveness of a specific Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) medication for children ages 8-14 who are diagnosed with ADD, where the researchers yield consistent results for each participant for each dosage for the…

Looking at Stansbury and Munro (2013), there is strong construct validity. By using the combination of instructional condition and time of test administration, the researchers are able to show the obvious differences between the experimental, standard treatment, and no treatment control groups. The use of each of these measures is designed to assess content knowledge as evidenced by test scores. The most obvious proof of the difference in conditions is the between pretest and…
