MEASUREMENTS
STEPS IN EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE
Types of SSDs
Types of Validity
100

This level of measurement provides information that is qualitatively different from another or a person is in one category or another.  

What is nominal?

100

This involves finding the evidence.

What is Step 2? 

100

The most frequently used design that is an intervention only design.

What is B design?

100

This type of validity is when researchers "simply look" at the items in the instrument and give their opinion.  

What is face validity?

200

This level of measurement is categories ranked in order. 

What is ordinal? 

200

This step is the Application of Practice (implementing the material)

What is Step 5? 

200

This type of SSD has no-intervention baseline phase and an intervention phase. 

What is AB design?

200

The question asked for this type of validity is "Does our instruments include all the right items?"

What is content validity?

300

An example of this measurement is the Fahrenheit scale for measuring temperature. 

What is interval?

300

This step involves analyzing the evidence.  

What is Step 3?
300

This design is known as the basic withdrawal design.

What is ABA design?

300

This validity predicts or forecasts some sort of outcome.

What is Criterion-Related Validity?

400

An example of this measure would include the amount of time spent caring for an elderly parent.

What is ratio?

400

In this step, one will monitor and evaluate the results.

What is Step 6? 

400

This design is used when the researcher must begin with an intervention.

What is the BAB design?

400
An example of this validity would be when trying to measure intelligence.  Are we indeed measuring intelligence and not something else?

What is construct validity?

500

The two types are random and systematic.

What are the measurement errors?

500

This step is where one develops the question.

What is Step 1?
