Validity - An Integrated Approach to Test Score Meaning and Use

Zusatztext "The book contains a wide range of practical examples of various potential concerns surrounding the validity of a wide range of assessment tools and mechanisms. As a result, it is not just a theoretical analysis of the subject but also a practical guide to anyone embarking on research. Each chapter ends with a brief summary and a statement of the conclusions... it is an important contribution to the literature and I would suggest it will prove invaluable to all those embarking on initial training, doctoral studies or post qualification research." - Jeremy Swinson, Educational Psychology in Practice Informationen zum Autor Gregory J.
