4. A valid instrument is one that measures what it says it measures.
Validity depends on the amount and type of evidence there is to support
one’s interpretations concerning data that has been collected. This
week, you discussed three kinds of evidence that can be collected
regarding validity: content-related, criterion-related, and construct-
related evidence.
1. How strong is the relationship between the students’ scores obtained
using this instrument and their teacher’s rating of their ability?
2. How adequately do the questions in the instrument represent that
which is being measured?
3. Do the items that the instrument contains logically reflect that which
is being measured?
4. Are there a variety of different types of evidence (test scores, teacher
ratings, correlations, etc.) that all measure this variable?
5. How well do the scores obtained using this instrument predict future
performance?
6. Is the format of the instrument appropriate?
