ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING 1
MODULE 3, LESSON 1
“VALIDITY”
1. WHAT TYPE OF VALIDITY DOES THE PRE-BOARD EXAMINATION POSSESS IF
ITS RESULTS CAN EXPLAIN HOW THE STUDENTS WILL LIKELY PERFORM IN
THEIR LICENSURE EXAMINATION?
2. MS. CARTILLA DEVELOPED AN ACHIEVEMENT TEST IN MATH FOR HER
GRADE THREE PUPILS. BEFORE SHE FINALIZED THE TEST SHE EXAMINED
CAREFULLY IF THE TEST ITEMS WERE CONSTRUCTED BASED ON THE
COMPETENCIES THAT HAVE TO BE TESTED. WHAT TEST OF VALIDITY WAS SHE
TRYING TO ESTABLISH?
3. YOU INTEND TO ASSESS AFFECTIVE ATTRIBUTES SUCH AS CAPACITY TO
FEEL, ATTITUDES, AND BEHAVIOR. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SHOULD YOU
ESTABLISH TO ASCERTAIN THE INSTRUMENT’S VALIDITY?
4. WHAT DOES A TABLE OF SPECIFICATION ESTABLISH?
5. IF YOUR LICENSURE EXAMINATION TEST (LET) ITEMS SAMPLE, ADEQUATELY
THE COMPETENCIES LISTED IN THE SYLLABI, IT CAN BE SAID THAT THE LET
POSSESSES______________ VALIDITY.
6. IN STA. TERESITA BARANGAY HIGH SCHOOL, MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS
WHO GOT VERY HIGH SCORES IN THE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION GOT VERY
LOW GRADE POINT AVERAGES AT THE END OF THE YEAR. WHAT TYPE OF
VALIDITY DOES THE EXAMINATION LACK?
7. MR. CRINGO TRIED TO CORRELATE THE SCORES OF HIS PUPILS IN THE
SOCIAL STUDIES TEST WITH THEIR GRADES IN THE SAME SUBJECT LAST 3RD
QUARTER. WHAT TEST VALIDITY IS HE TRYING TO ESTABLISH?
8. THE DEGREE TO WHICH AN ASSESSMENT ACCURATELY ASSESSES THE
CONCEPT AND OR/ SKILL WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO MEASURE.
9. VALIDITY IS A CONCEPT THAT…(CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER)
10. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR TEACHER TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF
VALIDITY BECAUSE:
11. THIS TOOL IS THE BASIS OF CLASSROOM TEACHERS FOR TEST
CONSTRUCTION AND IS BEING USED TO IMPROVE THE VALIDITY OF
ASSESSMENT.
12. HOW CAN WE KNOW IF THE ASSESSMENT TOOL IS VALID?
13. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS CONSIDERED THE MOST IMPORTANT
CHARACTERISTIC OF A GOOD TEST?
14. OF THE TYPES OF VALIDITY TESTS, WHAT IS CONCERNED WITH THE
RELATION OF TEST SCORES TO PERFORMANCE AT SOME FUTURE TIME, E.G.
FRESHMEN COLLEGE TEST CAN SHOW SUCCESS IN COLLEGE?
15. IT MEASURES BY SUBJECTING THE INSTRUMENT TO AN ANALYSIS BY A
GROUP OF EXPERTS WHO ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE SUBJECT BOTH
IN THEORY AND PRACTICES.
16. THE SCORES OF TWO TESTS, ONE MEASURING SELF-ESTEEM AND THE
OTHER MEASURING EXTROVERSION, ARE LIKELY TO BE CORRELATED
INDIVIDUALS SCORING HIGH IN SELF-ESTEEM ARE MORE LIKELY TO SCORE
HIGH IN EXTROVERSION.
17. IF THE TEST CORRELATES TOO STRONGLY WITH AN IQ TEST THEN IT
ESSENTIALY IS JUST ANOTHER IQ TEST INSTEAD OF MEASURING SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.
18. SUPPOSE YOU CREATED A NEW READING COMPREHENSION TEST AND YOU
WANT TO TEST ITS VALIDITY. THEREFORE YOU COMPARE THE RESULTS OF
YOUR NEW MEASURE TO EXISTING VALIDATED MEASURES OF READING
COMPREHENSION AND FIND THAT YOUR MEASURE. WE COULD THEN SAY
THAT YOUR NEW MEASURE HAS GOOD:
19. IT REFERS TO HOW WELL THE TEST PREDICTS SOME FUTURE BEHAVIOR
OF THE EXAMINEES.
20. IT IS DETERMINED BY ADMINISTERING BOTH THE NEW TEST AND THE
STANDARDIZED TEST TO A GROUP OF RESPONDENTS, THEN FINDING THE
CORRELATION BETWEEN THE TWO SETS OF THE SCORES.
