Investigating Application Validity of Concept Maps
To ensure the effective use of a concept map it needs to be validated. Two different types of concept map validity can be distinguished, referring to either the validity of the concept map’s content or to the applicability for its designated purpose. This paper concentrates on application validity and outlines an empirical investigation demonstrating a validation approach utilising Knowledge Sp...
متن کاملGeneralizing Validity Evidence
At times, sufficient accumulated validity evidence is available for a selection procedure to justify its use in a new situation without conducting a local validation research study. In these instances, use of the selection procedure may be based on demonstration of the generalized validity inferences from that selection procedure, coupled with a compelling argument for its applicability to the ...
متن کاملSources of Validity Evidence
Inferences made from the results of a selection procedure to the performance of subsequent work behavior or outcomes need to be based on evidence that supports those inferences. Three sources of evidence will be described: namely, evidence of validity based on relationships with measures of other variables, evidence based on content, and evidence based on the internal structure of the selection...
متن کاملConceptualising and classifying validity evidence for simulation.
CONTEXT The term 'validity' is used pervasively in medical education, especially as it relates to curriculum, assessment, measurement and instrumentation. Exactly what is meant by the term 'validity' in the medical education literature is not always clearly defined.

متن کاملValidity evidence for games as assessment environments
This study provides empirical evidence of a highly specific use of games in education— the assessment of the learner. Linear regressions were used to examine the predictive and convergent validity of a math game as assessment of mathematical understanding. Results indicate that prior knowledge significantly predicts game performance. Results also indicate that game performance significantly pre...
