Unit 3
P/F Writing Assignment


As a teacher, you will be constructing classroom tests.
  1. Why should you be concerned about your tests' validity?
  2. What are the most important things that you, the teacher, can do to assure or increase a test's validity?
  3. How could you assure or increase a test's reliability? Warning: Note that this has nothing to do with methods for measuring reliability (test-retest, etc.).
Be specific about what you would do, and why.
