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.
2. To Improve Reliability a. Group homogeneity: Ensure that the group is as heterogeneous, respecting the skill or content to be tested as is natural. b. Time limits: Ensure there is enough time for almost all examinees to finish. c. Test or measure length: Ensure the test is long enough to accurately reflect the content or [assessment] domain.
