My Analysis 1.

Constructing fair tests that give teachers accurate information about students learning is an important skill for teachers. The table of specification is often useful to organize the planning process of designing a test allows the teacher to predetermine the content of the test. Using a table of specification to organize a teacher - made test helps alleviate content validity problems because it helps the teacher create good balance in several areas.

3. Several types of validity that may be sought. In summary:

Construct validity: Constructs accurately represent reality. o Convergent validity: Simultaneous measures of same construct correlate. o Discriminant validity: Doesn't measure what it shouldn't. Internal validity: Causal relationships can be determined. Conclusion validity: Any relationship can be found. External validity: Conclusions can be generalized. Criterion validity: Correlation with standards. o Predictive validity: Predicts future values of criterion. o Concurrent validity: Correlates with other tests. Face validity: Looks like it'll work.
