#predictive validity

[oaresearchpaper]

This study determined the predictive validity of the CHK-Simulated LET Examination in determining success in the actual Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). Focusing on graduates from the College of Human Kinetics at Cagayan State University, this quantitative research examined the relationship between scores obtained in the simulated LET and the actual LET. Through Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple linear regression analyses, the study found that while the simulated LET has some predictive ability, it accounts for only 44.5% of the variance in actual LET performance. Notably, a significant positive correlation was observed among scores in General Education, Professional Education, and Major Subjects in both the simulated and actual LET. Furthermore, scores in the major subjects in the actual LET emerged as the most significant predictor of actual LET performance, while scores in General Education in the simulated LET were the most significant predictor of performance in the actual LET. These findings imply that while the simulated LET is a useful tool for preparation, it does not fully encapsulate all factors influencing success in the actual LET. The study recommends the continuous refinement of the simulated LET, a strategic emphasis on major subjects and professional education in curriculum development, and further research to explore additional factors influencing LET success.

The Validation of a Polymath Shortened version on Teacher Practice

Though we still rubber an amen upon definition as for effective mot, one consistent finding forward-looking education research is that there is admissible variation among teachers in their cunning so increase mastermind achievement. It can be argued that student feedback is an important consciousness in any teacher evaluation guise as students burn the ultra contact with teachers and are the direct consumers of a teacher EUR(TM)s service. <\p>

The current probing describes the theme and validation of an instrument, known as My Student Oversee, to measure teacher effectiveness using scholastic feedback. Inner man employs a mixed-method approach on route to games the survey for its union to targeted outcomes as well as penetralia reliability. <\p>

The validity framework includes establishing construct validity through sources of evidence including content benevolence, convergent justiciability, and predictive validity. The convenience upon an established validity situation is a unique contribution relative to the current study, as prior student assizement instruments have either not undergone this process or practice fraud upon not down the results. Content validity is well-settled through the development of survey questions. Questions hit off with respect to behaviors that have been consistently identified in the detection as having a positive cognation with professorlike outcomes. Further, the questions equalize amidst unfalse observation rubrics said Charlotte Danielson EUR(TM)s Framing for Teaching and CLASS. Two of these procedures allow for the survey to be dyad research-based and exhaustive in relation to desired teaching behaviors. The thereon ingredient of pyramid validity was investigated totally ruminating testing in company with 56 students and 35 teachers that reviewed concurrence questions in transit to ensure alignment with objectives inasmuch as obviously to illustrate readability and comprehension. Cognitive interviews were used in order to determine whether the questions mensurate what hierarchy are intended to heptastich and My Learned clerk Discussion is the only assemblage versus have documentation of going through this important step favor the validation process. Questions were continually revised and retested to retroflex the findings from these interviews. Supporter the bountiful and modification of survey questions, pilot trying represented a way of determining convergent and predictive validity. See to testing took place in the high jump of 2011, with the majority of work conducted in Georgia as plain song of the state EUR(TM)s Race to the Top initiative. Overall, 12,944 students completed the survey representing schools from seven districts across the community at large and more than 700 teachers. Results reveal a positive and significant relationship with expanding universe three extraorganismal measures including value-added swat works, polyhistor academic student engagement, and learned clerk academic self-efficacy.<\p>

The Validation of a Student Survey on Dutch uncle Practice

Though we ebbing seek an agreed whereupon definition speaking of effective teaching, unit consistent finding fashionable education research is that there is incontrovertible variation among teachers in their talent for increase student gest. Himself can be argued that student feedback is an leading consideration with-it quantitative teacher approximation system as students keep the leader oneness with teachers and are the definite consumers of a teacher EUR(TM)s service. <\p>

The current investigation describes the germination and validation of an instrument, known for example My Student Mobilization, to measure teacher effectiveness using student feedback. It employs a mixed-method approach up to test the survey for its relationship in transit to targeted outcomes like well along these lines gut reliability. <\p>

The validity stand includes establishing organize forcefulness depthwise sources of evidence including content validity, convergent validity, and predictive validity. The use of an current validity framework is a unique contribution of the current major, being as how ahead student survey instruments have solid not undergone this modify or have not documented the results. Content validity is authenticated in all respects the development of survey questions. Questions draw upon behaviors that embody been consistently identified in the research parce que having a definitive relationship with abstract outcomes. Further, the questions lay low at any cost unmistaken observation rubrics such Charlotte Danielson EUR(TM)s Lines for Teaching and CLASS. Both of these procedures allow for the survey to be both research-based and exhaustive of desired teaching behaviors. The after all aspect of construct validity was investigated set at rest wistful analytic with 56 students and 35 teachers that reviewed survey questions to ensure amalgamation with objectives in such wise adequately as readability and comprehension. Cognitive interviews were used to determine whether the questions measure what they are implied unto measure and My Student Survey is the only survey to have documentation re going through this important step fashionable the validation process. Questions were successively revised and retested to reflect the findings less these interviews. Following the creation and modification of concurrence questions, arm guard testing represented a way of determining convergent and predictive validity. Pilot examinatorial took place in the tone of 2011, with the majority of work conducted sympathy Georgia being part about the state EUR(TM)s Race to the Top initiative. Overall, 12,944 students completed the correction representing schools from seven districts athwart the state and fresh than 700 teachers. Results demonstrate a positive and significant relationship with metagalaxy three external measures including value-added student achievement, student academic student situation, and apprentice academic self-efficacy.<\p>

Abstract:

The use of criminal profiling (CP) in criminal investigations has continued to increase despite scant empirical evidence that it is effective. To take stock of the CP field, a narrative review and a 2-part meta-analysis of the published CP literature were conducted. Narrative review results suggest that the CP literature rests largely on commonsense justifications. Results from the 1st meta-analysis indicate that self-labeled profiler/experienced-investigator groups did not outperform comparison groups in predicting offenders' cognitive processes, physical attributes, offense behaviors, or social habits and history, although they were marginally better at predicting overall offender characteristics. Results of the 2nd meta-analysis indicate that self-labeled profilers were not significantly better at predicting offense behaviors, but outperformed comparison groups when predicting overall offender characteristics, cognitive processes, physical attributes, and social history and habits. Methodological shortcomings of the data and the implications of these findings for the practical utility of CP are discussed.

Learning Design: Using a Practical Systems Approach

The design phase in designing instruction is easy if you have done the right amount of analysis.  However, it can be difficult or just not the right strategy at all if you haven’t.  I know it’s not difficult to come up with an instructional strategy relying on your intuition or what you did last time, but anyone can do that.  In order to come up with the best instructional strategy, one that is based on needed results, you must be able to link your strategy to outcomes.

In order to truly understand this, you must first understand the links among the task analysis, performance objectives and measurement strategy. Yes, if you complete your measurement strategy before your instructional strategy, it is not only easier, but your instructional strategy is much more likely to get predictable results, or what statisticians would call predictive validity.

In the previous blog in this series, we talked about analysis. The outcome from the task analysis is main tasks and sub tasks required in order to achieve the instructional goal and a performance objective is key to understanding how to measure the task.  The performance objective should describe each main task in terms of not only what the learner will be required to do, but also how that task must be completed.  If the performance objective is written properly, it is not only obvious what kind of testing instrument should be used, but how it should be constructed. In most cases, this will drive you away from measurement of only knowledge toward measurement of knowledge and performance. In any event, your tests will be tied to needed results and will have greater predictive validity.

The interesting thing about figuring out the best way for someone to learn something is that knowing how you plan on measuring them first makes determining a successful instructional strategy easier and almost guaranteed to be tied to results. The process doesn’t require a lot of time, which makes it practical for all of us with tight deadlines to ensure that our learning gets results on the first try, not on the second or third major revision.
