II. Article Review.

Find a journal article about a study that developed a measure or conducted a validity or
reliability study. You may download the article using the database in the library. You may also
download from any of the following open sources:
 Google scholar
 Directory of open access journals
 Multidisciplinary open access journals
 Allied academies journals

Your task is to write a short report focusing on important information on how the authors
conducted and established test validity and reliability. Provide the following information in your
report:
1. Title and author of the article
2. Purpose of the study
3. Describe the instrument with its underlying factors (e.g. in terms of content and
categories)
4. Validity techniques used in the study and analysis they used
5. Reliability techniques used in the study and analysis they used
6. Results of the tests validity and reliability
