Study Notes
Validity in Testing
- Validity is crucial in evaluating test items
- Face validity is the lowest level. A subject-matter expert verifies the item's technical accuracy. Supporting evidence is required.
- Technical-content validity. An expert develops the item and documents it with current, job-relevant resources.
- Job-content/criterion-referenced validity. A technical committee of experts confirms that the knowledge measured is job-relevant. This form is also called criterion-related validity. The information source must be traceable to specific standards and references.
Test Item Validity
- Test items must accurately measure what they intend to measure.
- Test items should focus on the specific learning objectives.
- Test developers must ensure items aren't unrelated to what the test is designed to assess.
