Document Summary

Decide the tasks and behaviours that are to be included. Difficult to determine structure (relative importance or frequency of the tasks) The extent to which responses to items provide a representative sample of the domain. Maximal rather than typical performance does not reflect high content validity. Content validity: established that showing that the behaviours sampled by the test are a representative sample of the attribute being measured. Depends on the test and the processes involved in responding to it. Content domain: total set of behaviours that could be used to measure a specific attribute or characteristic for a desired population. A content domain has boundaries and is structured. A judgement, not an exact method: describe the domain, determine the areas of the domain measured by each item (item classification, compare the structure of the test with the structure of the content domain.
