Act 8

This document contains responses to questions about validity and reliability in assessment. It discusses that teachers should be concerned with validity and reliability because it helps ensure assessments are factual and consistent. It states that validity is impossible without strong reliability, as validity requires reliability. A test can be both reliable without validity, but for a test to be truly valid it must also be reliable. The document analyzes that Mr. Villanueva is establishing content validity by having other teachers review his midterm to check that the test items match the intended learning targets.

Activity 8
(On validity and reliability)

Answer the following questions briefly.

2.1 Should teachers be concerned about relatively technical features of assessment such as validity and
reliability? Why or why not?

Teachers should be concerned about relatively technical features of assessment such as validity and
reliability because first, validity is deemed to be factual. Validity used to measure if the assessment you
created is valid. We have seven ways to establish validity and we use this to the assessment to become
valid and understandable. Second is reliability, the assessment needs consistency and stability. The
teachers should be concerned about this because it will help them to become a valid and reliable teacher
to his or her students.

2.2 Which of the following statements is correct, and why?

2.2.1 Validity is impossible without strong reliability.

Validity is impossible without strong reliability; this means that validity and reliability is connected
to each other. It cannot be valid without reliability because what is the sense of being valid when it is not
reliable. For example, in a competition, like Miss Universe, you are pretty, smart, all of the characteristics
that you have is the aspects that needs as a Miss Universe, but your height have poor signal. Even if the
Miss Universe PH lowers the characteristics, it is not reliable if the PH will choose a candidate to win
without checking its reliability. I ‘am talking about the height if the winner, if we let them represent our
country, there will be exception because as we can see all of the candidates in the Miss Universe have the
same height. If we choose a candidate with a 5 flat height, there is an instance that they will not choose
her. That is my example of validity is impossible without strong reliability. Even if you are valid, it is not
reliable.
2.2.2 A test can be reliable and without validity.

The statements 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 are 50% correct and 50% incorrect. It shows that reliability and
validity is connected to each other. But a test can be reliable without validity, because reliability is
consistency. But when we analyze the big picture, it will be reliable without being valid but in a right
manner, we can’t have reliability without validity and we can’t also have validity without reliability.

2.2.3 A valid test is reliable

This statement is 100% correct. A valid test is reliable. A test needs validity and of course reliability,
when this two characteristics meets it is correct, I mean a test is correct because it is valid and reliable.

2.3. Mr. Villanueva asks the other math teachers in his high school to review his midterm to see if the
test items represent his learning targets. Which type of evidence of validity is being used, and why?

The type of evidence of validity that is being used by Mr. Villanueva is content validity because it says
that he wants to see if the test represents his learning targets. In short he wants to check if the learning
targets he created are connected to the test items in his midterm. If it is connected then is it valid.
