Validity vs. reliability
Imagine that your centre or school is looking for an
assessment instrument to measure reading ability. The selection has been
narrowed to two possibilities: Test A shows measures of strong validity, but
there is no information about its reliability; Test B includes measures of
strong reliability, but there is no information about its validity. Which test
would you recommend? Be sure to include at least three specific reasons as to
why you chose the test you did.
