LESSON PROPER
ELICIT
Start off the class with a riddle or puzzle related to the topic, such as "What do you think is more
reliable: a fortune teller's predictions or a scientific experiment?" or ask the students what are their
opinion about a fortune teller.
A. Preliminary Activities
B . Prayer
C . Greetings
D . Checking of attendance
E . Setting of Classroom Standards
ENGAGE
Objectivity means being fair and impartial, without bias or personal feelings, when making decisions
or judgments.
"Reliability is about consistency; it's like getting the same answer every time you ask a question.
Validity, on the other hand, is about accuracy; it's like getting the right answer to your question."
Validity: Validity means that a measurement or observation accurately measures what it is intended
to measure. It should be a true reflection of the thing being studied.

Reliability vs. Validity
Answer Key
1. A ruler consistently measures the same length when measuring an object multiple time. (R)
Explanation: This statement relates to reliability (R) because it emphasizes that the ruler consistently provides
the same measurement when used repeatedly, which indicates reliability.
2. A classroom test measures exactly what it claims to measure, such as students' knowledge of a specific topic. (V)
Explanation: This statement primarily concerns validity (V). It claims that the classroom test accurately measures
what it intends to measure, which is an aspect of validity – the degree to which a test measures what it's
supposed to measure.
3. A bathroom scale provides different weight measurements for the same person when measured on different days. (R)
Explanation: This statement is about reliability (R). The inconsistency in weight measurements for the same
person on different days indicates a reliability issue.
4. A stopwatch consistently records the same time for a 1-minute interval when used repeatedly. (R)
Explanation: This statement emphasizes reliability (R). The stopwatch's consistency in recording the same time
for the same interval when used repeatedly indicates reliability.
5. A thermometer accurately measures body temperature and consistently provides the same reading when used multiple
times. (R/V)
Explanation: This statement relates to both reliability (R) and validity (V). It mentions reliability because the
thermometer consistently provides the same reading when used repeatedly (reliable). It also touches on validity
because if the thermometer accurately measures body temperature, it implies that it's valid.
6. A survey questionnaire yields similar results when given to the same group of people on different occasions. (R)
Explanation: This statement pertains to reliability (R). The fact that the survey questionnaire produces similar
results when administered to the same group on different occasions suggests reliability.
7. A fitness tracker counts the number of steps a person takes during a day, and this count is consistent with the person's
actual steps. (R/V)
Explanation: This statement addresses both reliability (R) and validity (V). It mentions reliability because the
fitness tracker's step count is consistent with actual steps (reliable). It also relates to validity because if the
tracker accurately reflects a person's actual steps, it's a valid measure.
8. A math test produces varying scores when taken by the same student on different occasions. (R)
Explanation: This statement primarily concerns reliability (R). The math test's variation in scores when taken by
the same student on different occasions indicates a reliability issue.
9. A video game controller reliably responds to button presses when playing a game. (R)
Explanation: This statement focuses on reliability (R). It highlights that the video game controller reliably
responds to button presses during gameplay.
10. A telescope consistently shows the same constellation when used to observe the night sky on different nights. (R)
Explanation: This statement primarily concerns reliability (R). The telescope's consistency in displaying the same
constellation indicates reliability in its performance.

Validity and Reliability in Everyday Life
Answer Key
Certainly! Here are explanations and answers for the sample questions where students can apply the concepts of validity and
reliability in everyday life:
1. Online Information
To determine if information on a website is reliable and valid, students can consider factors such as the author's
credentials, the publication source, the presence of citations or references, and cross-referencing with other reputable
sources. A reliable source will have accurate and consistent information (reliability), and a valid source will be based on
credible and well-supported evidence (validity).
2. Product Reviews
Students can assess the reliability of online product reviews by looking at the number of reviews, the consistency of
opinions, and the credibility of the reviewers. Validity can be evaluated by checking if the reviews provide specific details,
such as pros and cons, and whether they align with the product's actual features and performance.
4. Weather Forecasts
Reliability in weather forecasts can be assessed by comparing predictions from multiple reputable sources and looking at
their consistency. Validity can be determined by checking if past forecasts from the same source have been accurate.
5. Job Applications
Students can assess the validity of job offers by comparing the qualifications and responsibilities stated in the offer with
their own skills and career goals. Reliability can be considered by researching the company's reputation and employee
reviews to see if it aligns with the job offer.
6. Online Quizzes
To assess the reliability and validity of online quizzes, students can check if the questions are clear and relevant to their
study material (validity). Reliability can be evaluated by taking the quiz multiple times and comparing the scores for
consistency.
7. Food Labels
Validity of food labels can be determined by checking if the nutritional information aligns with the actual content of the
product. Reliability can be assessed by comparing labels on different products from the same brand for consistency.
8. Health Advice
Validity of health advice can be assessed by checking the qualifications of the source and looking for scientific evidence
or expert consensus to support the advice. Reliability can be considered by cross-referencing advice from multiple
reputable sources.
These explanations and answers provide guidance on how students can apply the concepts of reliability and validity to
make informed decisions in various everyday life situations. It's essential for critical thinking and avoiding misinformation
or poor choices.
