Question

Face validity of an instrument refers to the style of questions on an instrument that enables the respondents to determine the purpose of the questions by merely reading the questions.

Answer 1

True

Face validity refers to the extent to which an assessment or test subjectively appears to measure the variable or construct that it purports to measure. It refers to the relevancy of the assessment or test by doing what it claims to do.

Answer 2

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Face validity is the degree to which the questionnaire apparently measures what it was designed to measure. In other words, face validity refers to the style of questions in an instrument that allows respondents to determine the purpose of the questions simply by reading the questions.

Face validity is generally determined by:

a) subject matter experts, who consider whether the instrument measures what it was designed to measure;

b) a sample of respondents who will tell if the instrument seems to measure what it should measure.

Example: An examination of arithmetic for the fourth grade of elementary school consisting of arithmetic problems will have face validity if it apparently measures the knowledge of arithmetic taught in the fourth grade of elementary school. The validation of the instrument must be done by teachers of this grade and by the students, who will undergo the exam.
