Controlling the Quality of Learning: Assessing the Criteria of Validity and Reliability
The article deals with the quality of education, assessing two control criteria - validity and reliability - with different levels of students. As a first step, the document analyzes the basic corpus of knowledge, the assessment bases used in the course of evaluation trials, and the general framework of measuring educational data. In particular, the review investigates the reliability of student-collected knowledge and their ability to understand the term of 'validity' in a pedagogical-testing context. The report suggests that the latter implies grasping procedural-test- and trial-validity methodologies. Moreover, it adds that an efficient toolkit for educational analysis - one that is reliable and trustworthy - needs to contain detailed information about the educational processes and their projected results. The blueprint, in conclusion, has dealt with the controls placed upon the quality of education such as validating tests, reasons behind invalidity, and the causes of reliability and/or complexity in the learning procedure. It also has described how these challenges could be resolved and suggested that further analysis be conducted on validity-associated problems.
