Principles of

High Quality
Assessment
 RELIABILITY
Assessment should show consistent and stable results.
There are methods which can be used to measure
and establish reliability.
RELIABILITY CAN BE MEASURED USING:

Test-retake or Retest Method Giving the same examination after several minutes to
several years.

SPLIT-HALF This is used to establish internal consistency using Pearson r

formula.

Parallel-form/Equivalence test Giving the same examination within the day.

Test of Stability Giving the same examination content but not in the same
manner or form after several minutes to several years.

Measurement of stability & Equivalence Giving the same examination content but not in the same
manner or form within the day.

Kuder-Richardson Establishment of reliability using KR 21 and KR 20 formulas.

Validity
Assessment should be valid. There are several types of
validity that are to be established.

TYPES OF VALIDITY

Content Validity

Face Validity

Concurrent Validity

Predictive Validity

Discriminant Validity

Construct Validity
