Topic 3 & 4: Validity and Reliability Quiz

What does content validity assess?

• The consistency of test scores over time

• Whether a test measures what it was designed to measure

• The extent to which assessment items represent the content domain

• The theoretical construct of a test

Which method is used to evaluate the consistency of assessments over time?

• Test-retest method

• Split-half method

• Inter-rater reliability

• Construct validity

What does reliability in testing refer to?

• The accuracy of test scores

• The appropriateness of interpretations of test results

• The consistency of measurement results

• The relevance of test items

In what method are two equivalent forms of a test administered to check reliability?

• Test-retest

• Split-half

• Parallel or equivalent forms

• Intra-rater reliability

What is a primary factor that can influence validity?

• Number of items on the test

• Reading difficulty of items

• Frequency of test administration

• Method of scoring

Which type of validity refers to the relationship between assessment scores and an external criterion?

• Content validity

• Construct validity

• Criterion-related validity

• Consequences validity

Which method assumes both halves of a test measure the same construct and checks internal consistency?

• Test-retest

• Split-half method

• Inter-rater reliability

• Parallel forms

What is the main purpose of consequences validity?

• To assess if a test measures a theoretical construct

• To evaluate the impact of the test results on stakeholders

• To determine the consistency of results from multiple raters

• To assess if test items represent the content domain

In assessing reliability, which statistical measure is used to check internal consistency across multiple items?

• Cronbach's alpha

• Test-retest coefficient

• Pearson correlation

• Spearman-Brown formula

What factor can contribute to low inter-rater reliability?

• Clear marking scheme

• Consistent grading standards

• Unconscious bias towards known students

• Absence of alternative answers
