Abstract:
Assessment of students necessitates validity. Validity provides strong reasoning for decisions made based on students' scores. It is a unitary concept; the extent to which evidence supports and justify the proposed interpretations of test scores. However, the comprehension of the concept of validity has been associated with some observed misconceptions in the literature. With the consequent impact on the research and application being in consideration, this work aims to address some associated misconceptions to clarify the concept of validity. In doing so, we are adopting the current standard framework that is based on the five sources of validity.
