Chapter 3 Psychometrics: Reliability & Validity 45 Measuring Learning & Performance: A Primer | Retrieved from Chapter 3 Psychometrics: Reliability & Validity The purpose of classroom assessment in a physical, virtual, or blended classroom is to measure ( , scale and classify) examinees knowledge, skills, and/or attitudes. For example in achievement testing, one measures, using points, how much knowledge a learner possesses (called scaling) and then his or her total raw point score equates to a grade, , A, B, C, etc. (called classifying). In this Chapter , we will consider essential attributes of any measuring device: Reliability and Validity . Classical Reliability indices ( , test-retest [stability], parallel forms [equivalence], internal consistency, and inter-rater) are most routinely used in classroom assessment and are hence, discussed.

Classical reliability indices (i.e., test-retest [stability], parallel forms [equivalence], internal consistency, and inter-rater) are most routinely used in classroom assessment and are hence, discussed. Item Response Theory (IRT) and other advanced techniques for determining reliability are more frequently used with ...
