LESSON 4
Validity and
Reliability
BY BSED MATH - GROUP 1
Lesson Outcomes
01 differentiate validity and
reliability.
02 distinguish valid and invalid
inferences.
03 determine the types of validity
and methods to test reliability.
04 construct a table of specification
(tos).
05 compute the reliability of a test.
Validity
• It pertains to the accuracy of the inferences
teachers make about students based on the
information gathered from an assessment.
• It is about providing strong evidence.
• It is closely tied to the purpose or use of an
assessment.

Reliability
• It measures the consistency of results over time;
between observers; between versions of a test;
and between items of a test
• A reliable assessment provides a consistent
picture of what students know, understand, and
are able to do.
