VALIDITY OF RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
November 20, 2022

Dear Ma’am / Sir:

Greetings of peace and solidarity!

We are currently working on Capstone Project Research 2 entitled “Coffee Plants Information System
with GIS Mapping”. We are the students of NONESCOST taking up Bachelor of Science in Information
Technology. The Aim of this study is to “Develop a secured system that will display accurately the
information and location of coffee plantations with ease of use”.

In connection with this, we humbly request your expertise in rating the questions below using CVR
(Content Validity Ratio). Rest assured that your answers will be treated with confidentiality.

We are looking forward that our request would merit your positive response. Thank you very much and
more power.

Sincerely Yours,
The Researchers:

Content Validity Ratio (CVR) - Involves a panel of subject matter “experts” rating items into one of three categories: “essential,” “useful, but
not essential,” or “not necessary.” Items deemed “essential” by a critical number of panel members are then included within the final
instrument, with items failing to achieve this critical level discarded.

RELIABILITY OF RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

Date: November 25, 2022

To: Jocelyn M. Say

Supervising Agriculturist
Office of the City Agriculturist

Dear Madam,

Greetings of peace and solidarity!

The undersigned names are in the process of writing a capstone project and research 2 entitled “Coffee
Plants Information System with GIS Mapping”, taking up Bachelor of Science in Information Technology at
the NORTHERN NEGROS STATE COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. It will develop a secured
system that will display accurately the information and location of coffee plantations with ease of use

In line with this, the researchers are seeking approval from you to allow us conduct the reliability test to 10
respondents from your administration composed of the agriculturists. Attached herewith is a researcher-
made questionnaire designed to gather data, and the research informed consent from the College of
Information and Communications Technology and Engineering approving this study as technically feasible.
The gain of the input is to assess the reliability, or internal consistency, of a set of scale or test items used in
the questionnaire that will be used in the study. The reliability test results will be pooled for the capstone
project development.

Your approval will be greatly appreciated. We would be happy to answer any questions or concerns that you
may have. You may contact us through this mobile number 09260185521 or email address
mdrewmarie@gmail.com. We are looking forward that our request would merit your positive response.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely yours,

The Researchers:

VALIDITY TEST

How to Calculate Content Validity Ratios

Worthless or essential -- that is the measurement of the Content Validity Ratio, or CVR. Struggling to find
an empirical way to estimate an object's worth, C.H. Lawshe developed the CVR formula to rate how
essential an object, product or employee is to the needs at hand. The formula is based on ratings from a
group of experts in the field related to the object, product or person in question.

step 1.

Assemble a group of experts, whose task it will be to rate an object, product or employee. Their answers
can be "essential," "useful" or "not necessary." Group size can be as small as three, although the more
opinions you receive, the more accurate the determination will be.

step 2.

Tally the number of "essential" ratings for the object or person in question.

step 3.

Use the following formula, using the total number of experts (N) and the number who rated the object as
essential (E):

CVR = [(E - (N / 2)) / (N / 2)]

As an example, say you assembled a team of 10 experts, seven of whom rated the product essential:

CVR = [(7 - (10 / 2)) / (10 / 2)]

CVR = [(7 - 5) / 5}

CVR = 2 / 5 CVR = 0.40

step 4.

Interpret the results. CVR can measure between -1.0 and 1.0. The closer to 1.0 the CVR is, the more
essential the object is considered to be. Conversely, the closer to -1.0 the CVR is, the more non-essential it
is.

In the example, the CVR was 0.40. While that number is positive, it does show doubt in the product. Had
nine or 10 experts agreed that the item was useful, the result would be 0.80 or 1.0, respectively, which is
much better. Conversely, if only one expert thought the item was useful, then the CVR would have been -
0.80, which shows the item is not very essential.
