Validity and validity assessment help researchers understand, write and evaluate social research. Validity and Validity Assessment is an introduction to validity theory and the methods used to obtain evidence for the validity of research and evaluation results. This book is a synthesis of the best ideas that have been developed over the past 50 years in educational and psychological assessment and research. The book briefly describes the roots of narrative theory in the philosophy of science and shows how these philosophical views have influenced the concepts of internal and external validity in research methodology and the concepts of reliability and validity in educational and psychological measurements and tests. Each chapter of the book provides numerous examples (e.g., research designs and research outputs) to help readers understand the work of validity assessment—which includes a range of methods for conducting research and interpreting research results. The importance of this book lies in its focus on the validity of test scores and other measurements. The book also deals with strategies for checking the validity of our inferences from tests, how to check the use of grades, the value of inferences from the interpretations of grades, and the social consequences of using grades. As such, this book provides strategies for reducing threats to validity and provides quantitative and qualitative methods for gathering evidence for the validity of scores.
