We host a variety of events designed to address key issues in education today and to help assessment professionals keep up to date with the latest thinking in educational assessment.  Our assessment experts often speak at externally-hosted events in order to share the Group's extensive knowledge and expertise.

Reliability and validity

Description:

This session will provide plenty of opportunity for group discussion of the philosophical issues which arise from the notions of reliability and validity. During the session we will look at different concepts and definitions of validity, types of validity, the concepts of reliability, estimating reliability (methods based on Classical Test Theory) and the factors affecting reliability.
