Validity & Reliability

Validity

 refers to the degree of

appropriateness, correctness,
truthfulness and accuracy of the
study. In other words the procedure
shall measure what is intended to
measure.
2
 Reliability
The degree of consistency between two measures of
the same things. The measure of how stable,
dependable, trustworthy, and consistent a test is in
measuring the same thing each time.

Reliability is the extent to which an experiment, test, or any

measuring procedure yields the same result on repeated trials.

 Type of Validity
 Content Validity
• this type of validity is
not measured by a
numerical index, but
relies instead on logical
judgment as to whether
the test measure what it is
supposed to measure.
 Construct Validity
• This refers to whether the test
correspondent to its theoretical
construct. It is concerned with the
extent to which a particular
measure relates to the other
measures and its consistency with
the theoretically-derived
hypothesis.

 Internal Validity External Validity
• refers to how Apply the
well an conclusion of a
experiment is scientific study
done, especially outside the content
whether it of the study
avoids
confounding

5
Face Validity Criterion-related
Validity or equivalence
• Also known as logical test
validity, face validity • is an expression of how
involves an analysis of
score from the test are
whether the instrument is
correlated with an
using valid scale . The
external criterion
procedure call only for
intuitive judgment.

6
Concurrent
• It deals with measure that can be administered and validated at the
same time

Example :
The Stanford-Binet V, a widely accepted standardized IQ test, is used to
determined the IQ of Nursing students. A research published a design for a
short screening test that measures the same. The score on the Stanford-Binet
V and the short screening test are compared to asses the relationship between
score.

7
Predictive

• It refers to how well the test predicts some future

behavior of the examinees. This is particularly useful
and important for aptitude tests which attempt to
predict how well test-takers will do in some future
setting

 Type of Reliability

1. Equivalence Reliability
 is the extent to which two items measure identical
concepts at an identical level of difficulty

◉  Also called alternate forms reliability, this type of reliability is

used when there is an equivalent test (or another form of the same
test) available. Both tests are administered and a correlation
between the two is calculated.

9
2. Stability
Reliability
• sometimes called test, re-test
reliability) is the agreement of
measuring instruments over time.
This method requires two
administrations of the same test,
separated by some time delay (a few
days to a few weeks). The scores
between the two tests are then
correlated.
3. Internal consistency
-is the extent to which tests or
procedures assess the same
characteristic, skill or quality.
Measures how well one part of a
single test correlates to another part
of the same test.
