According to classical test theory, test reliability is based on the
notion that test score reliability is comprised of two parts: true
scores and error. A true score is an expected score on a test over
an infinite number of testing instances; it is a theoretical idea
that can never be known for sure. Errors are inaccuracies that
make actual (observed) test scores differ from true scores.
There are several different ways to measure a test’s reliability.
Test-retest reliability looks at the correlation between original
test administrations and re-tests. The span of time between the
two administrations should be less that the time for the true
scores to vary. Test-retest reliability looks at error due to time.
Alternate-form reliability looks at the correlation between two
different versions of a test. Split-half reliability is similar to
alternative-form reliability, splitting a single test into two
halves—usually odd and even items—and correlating scores on
the two halves. Cronbach’s coefficient alpha is also similar,
essentially providing the average of all possible split-half
reliabilities. Alternate-form, split-half, and Cronbach’s
coefficient alpha all look at error due to content sampling.
For this Discussion, select three test reliability methods that
could be used in employment test development. Consider
advantages and disadvantages of each method.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post
a description of the three test reliability methods you chose.
Explain advantages and disadvantages of using each method in
employment test development. Be specific and provide
examples. Support your response using the Learning Resources
and the current literature.
My Interpretation:
Choose three (3) methods of demonstrating reliability from the
various methods of demonstrating reliability covered this week
and describe them (using course readings as citations)
For each of the three methods you choose
Explain the advantages of the approach for employment testing
Explain the disadvantages of the approach for employment
testing
Have at least four academic citations in 1 and 2 above, some
drawn from the course readings.
