Reliability
This resides in the test itself
What is assessment reliability?
This is the biggest reason why teachers administer tests.
What is that we are not mind readers and do not possess the ability to know what is going on in the minds of students?
To describe the test-retest reliability coefficient between students' scores, one must calculate this.
This terminology is used to when referring to the consistency of a single student's performance. SEM anyone.
What is standard error of measurement?
In this step, evidence is collected of a score-based inference's accuracy.
What is step one?
This is often used as a synonym for reliability.
What is consistency?
These two terms are most frequently used together when describing assessment validity.
What are inference and interpretation?
Once the correlation coefficient has been calculated to determine the relationship between students' scores, the results are referred to as this.
What is a test-retest reliability coefficient?
Assessment reliability refers to the _________ with which an educational test measures what it's measuring.
What is consistency?
Step 2 include evidence collected of this inference's suitability for a ______________.
What is test's purpose?
To determine the consistency of a specific test and to help determine the reliability of the test, this is collected.
What is evidence?
The degree to which evidence and theory support the interpretations of test scores for proposed uses of tests.
What is validity?
If the correlation coeficient result is near this, there is likely little to no relationship between student performances on tests being compared.
What is zero?
The higher the stakes, the more important it is to ensure the ________ of the test.
True or false. Step 2 of determining a validity argument involves not using the arguments formed during steps one and two.
What is false?
Three main variables have been deemed as acceptable for determining the reliability of a test. Name one.
What are test-retest evidence, alternate-form evidence, and internal consistency evidence?
What is accuracy?
This is the degree to which different forms of a test yield results that are consistent. (Popham, 2017, p.60)
What is the alternate-form reliability evidence?
A consultant should be able to determine assessment validity and then ________________.
What is explain it to others in plain language that is easy to be understood?
Every day citizens, elected legislators, school board members, and parents are the most qualified to determine assessment validity.
What is definitely false?
Popham stated that there are several 'wrinkles' in determining reliability. We have already mentioned three of them. There are also two more to be aware of. Name one of them.
What are the use of decision consistency estimates and if the assessment consistency if for a group or an individual?
The number of required steps for building an argument to determine the validity of an educational test.
What is three?
When you want to determine the consistency of whether a particular test and its questions measure the same or similar concepts, it is called this.
What is internal consistency reliability evidence?
The majority of educational tests are unfit for evaluating the quality of instruction.
What is true?
This is who should really determine assessment validity.
What is a consultant?
