Part 2: Read the reviews of the assessment in the MMY, or from the Capella University LibraryLinks to an external site., and perform the following actions.
Examine the key test measurement constructs of reliability and validity for the assessment. You will want to describe the methods used to acquire reliability and validity for the assessment.
Describe how results of the assessment are interpreted. For example, describe how scores are interpreted in comparison to group means and norms (for a standardized or norm-referenced test) or to cutoff scores (for criterion-referenced test). How are scores on this assessment correlated with other tests that measure the same construct?
Analyze the effectiveness of the selected assessment tool in your specialization area incorporating a minimum of six scholarly research studies.
