Chapter Assessment 6

Traditional Assessment
1. What is validity? Discuss the different ways of establishing validity of a test?
2. Is a valid test always reliable test? Why?
3. What is reliability? What are the different approaches in establishing test
reliability?
4. Is reliable test also a valid test? Why?
5. How can you improve the reliability of a test? The validity of a test?

Performance-based Assessment
Professor Pancho conduced a test to his 15 students in Math 101. After a week, he
conducted the same test and the scores were gathered.
Score in the First test: 25, 33, 35, 40, 19, 18, 35, 33, 16, 25, 32, 24, 19, 26, 38
Score in the Second test: 34, 25, 29, 38, 25, 23, 32, 36, 25, 30, 30, 22, 35, 20, 29
1. Is the test reliable? Show complete solution using the Pearson r and Spearman
rho.
2. Using the scores of the first test, solve the value of KR 22, then interpret the result.
3. Using the score of the second test, solve the value of KR 20

Portfolio Assessment
1. Look a sample problem on determining the validity and reliability of a test. Get
the complete solution and its interpretation. Have it included in your portfolio.
