MODULE 6:ESTABLISHING TEST VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY

DEVELOP
A. Indicate the type of reliability applicable for each case. Write the type of reliability on the
space before the number.
1. Mr. Perez conducted a survey of his students to determine their study habits. Each item is
answered using a five-point scale (always, often, sometimes, rarely, never). He wanted to
determine if the responses for each item are consistent. What reliability technique is
recommended? Text of internal consistency Using Kuder Richardson and Cronbach's Alpha
method.
2. A teacher administered a spelling test to her students. After a day, another spelling test was
given with the same length and stress of words. What reliability can be used for the two spelling
tests? Test-retest
3. A PE teacher requested two judges to rate the dance performance of her students in physical
education. What reliability can be used to determine the reliability of the judgments? Inter-rater
Reliability
4. An English teacher administered a test to determine students' use of verbs given a subject with
20 items. The scores were divided into items 1 to 10, and another for items 11 to 20. The teacher
correlated the two sets of scores that form the same test. What reliability is done here? Split-
Half
5. A computer teacher gave a set of typing tests on Wednesday and gave the same set the
following week. The teacher wanted to know if the students' typing skills are consistent. What
reliability can be used? Parallel forms

B. Indicate the type of validity applicable for each case. Write the type of validity on the blank
before the number.
1. The science coordinator developed a science test to determine who among the students will be
placed in an advanced science section. The students who scored high in the science test were
selected. After two quarters, the grades of the students in advanced science were determined. The
scores in the science test were correlated with the science grades to check if the science test was
accurate in the selection of students. What type of validity was used?Predictive Validity
2. A test composed of listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and visual
comprehension items was administered to students. The researcher determined if the scores on
each area refers to the same skill on comprehension. The researcher hypothesized a significant
and positive relationship among these factors. What validity was established? Convergent
Validity
3. The guidance counselor conducted an interest inventory that measured the following factors:
realistic, investigative, artistic, scientific, enterprising, and conventional. The guidance counselor
wanted to provide evidence that the items constructed really belong to the factor proposed. After
her analysis, the proposed items had high factor loadings on the domain they belong to. What
validity was conducted? Content Validity
4. The technology and livelihood education teacher developed a performance task to determine
student competency in preparing a dessert. The students were tasked with selecting a dessert,
preparing the ingredients, and making the dessert in the kitchen. The teacher developed a set of
criteria to assess the dessert, What type of validity is shown here? Construct Validity
5. The teacher in a robotics class taught students how to create a program to make the arms of a
robot move. The assessment was a performance task of making a program to make three kinds of
robot arm movements. The same assessment task was given to students with no robotics class.
The programming performance of the two classes was compared. What validity was established?
Divergent Reliability
An English teacher administered a spelling test to 15 students. The spelling test is composed of
10 items. Each item is encoded, wherein a correct answer is marked as "1", and the incorrect
answer is marked as "0". The grade in English is also provided in the last column. The first five
are words with two stresses, and the next five are words with a single stress. The recording is
indicated in the table. Your task is to determine whether the spelling test is reliable and valid
using the data to determine the following: (1) split half, (2) Cronbach's alpha, (3) predictive

validity with the English grade, (4) convergent validity of between words with single and two
stresses, and (5) difficulty index of each item.

The two measures that I used is the english grades as the other variable of knowing
the correlation and the individual scores as the other variable. I know that it is obvious and
clear that the greater the number of grades (x) the grader the number in the scores (y)
