What is an overt response?
The most fundamental consideration in developing test and evaluation test.
What is validity?
The correlation coefficient between the students' scores on two different days.
What is a test-retest reliability coefficient?
Test-retest reliability represents this with which a test is measuring what it is measuring.
What is stability?
What is an inference or interpretation?
The degree to which evidence and theory support the interpretations of test scores.
What is validity?
The two things that determine validity.
What are accuracy and purpose?
Coefficients should be above this number for test-retest reliability.
What is .70?
The degree to which different forms of a test yield results that are consistent.
What is alternate-form reliability?
This supports a score-based inference's contribution to a test's primary purpose.
What is a validity argument?
This determines the persuasiveness of a validity argument for a specific test.
What is human judgment?
A label that cannot be assigned to a test itself.
What is valid?
When a test is built so all of its items are intended to measure the same thing.
What is internal consistency reliability?
Coefficients of alternate-form reliability of teacher-made test is between these numbers.
What is .75-.85?
The first step in the validation process.
What is collecting evidence based on the accuracy of the assessment?
The second step of the validation process.
What is collecting evidence of the suitability for a test's purpose?
A synonym for reliability.
What is consistency?
This can be used as a scoring guide to help collect evidence of accuracy.
What is a rubric?
These people should be employed to make sure the validity process is completed correctly.
What are measurement specialists?
The degree to which a specific test measures whatever it is measuring.
What is reliability?
