Validity evidence using expert judgment: a study of using item congruence involving expert judgements for evidence for validity of a reading test

This study demonstrates the use of the Item Objective Congruence Method (IOC) for a content validation procedure to evaluate the congruence between reading test items constructed and the reading sub-skills they were intended to measure. The IOC allows for quantification of the content validity evide...
