correlations with all other constructs (Table 3). To measure the internal consistency of the constructs, the values of composite reliability (CR) (Werts et al., 1974; Raykov, 1997) and Cronbach's alpha is carried out, supposed to be under-estimate scale reliability with the recommended threshold criterion of .70 for both (Nunnally, 1978). The resulted value of composite reliability lies in between the.81–. 95 and for Cronbach's alpha, the values lie in between.67 and.97 (Table 2). All these values are computed
I. Introduction The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is a series of tests administered annually to all Australian students. NAPLAN is divided into separate components for Numeracy and Literacy, including Reading, Writing, Spelling and Grammar. An article published in the Sydney Morning Herald in 2013 reported that students from a language background other than English (LBOTE) were performing better than students from English-speaking backgrounds (non-LBOTE) in both
Clarification of the research question is at the end of the opening section and states that the study was “designed to evaluate the use of a quantitative instrument to measure caring in the nursing simulation environment.” This question is consistent with the problem statement of evaluating the correlation between caring and nursing simulations. Ethical Considerations All participants in this study were fully aware that the study was to be scored. It is important to note that the students were
Although Wikipedia’s reliability remains questionable, its obvious success cannot be denied as it has created an environment in which users can freely share their ideas in an easiest and most convenient way. It is the first site to pave the way for knowledge and information sharing by making use of users worldwide. By attracting contributors and inviting them to share knowledge without forcing them into bearing any commitments, the site now encompasses an unbelievably huge amount of global knowledge
1. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 3.1Research Design Before assessing the research paper, the secondary data from previous researchers was used to obtain the background and history of the research topic – Factors that impact the adoption of Mobile Payment System. From assessing the previous articles on this topic it can be found that many developing and developed countries had a study on the factors that impact the adoption of Mobile Payment System, Kenya (Morawczynski, 2010), China (Zhao, Y & Kurnia, S
coordination, and abstract thinking” (Hogan, 2007, p.8). Compare and contrast the concepts of reliability and validity and discuss how they affect the field of psychological testing. Moreover, the two of the most important concepts in testing are reliability and validity, whereas validity refers to if the test measures of what it aims to measure. On the other hand, reliability refers to the consistency of the measurement (Hogan, 2007). Hence, both concepts give tests their value
Accountability, reliability, and validity these are words that are very familiar to every educator when it comes to finding assessments the meets these criteria. Nowadays, assessments must also have the cultural bias aspect, due to the demographics of most schools in the United States. Reading specialist and literacy coaches also rely on assessments to evaluate students reading abilities, and identify their struggles. An Informal Reading Assessment (IRA) are designed identify different sides of
data to provide validated observations, whereas clinicians may be biased by their individual observations. Humans oftentimes will ignore the data due to their own biased observations, or prior experiences in experiments. This in turn, lowers the reliability of an experiment. Actuarial methods look at all the different combinations of predictors to use for estimating the predictions amongst algorithmic approaches. Predictions will then be weighted according to the validity amongst the measures that

StrenghtsFinder 2.0: A Brief Interpretation Fred Rodriguez Texas A&M University- Kingsville Abstract The Clifton’s StrenghtsFinder (CSF) is an online measurement composed by the Gallup Organization. It identifies an individual’s personal talent and utilizes each of these traits as strengths. There is a total of 180 items which initiate strength based developmental process within work and academic settings. The Purpose of this interpretation is to describe the assessments developmental and
